TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Chester Grant.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Chester Grant is a community in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Chester Grant is located at 44.6121°N, 64.3215°W.
Chester Grant rests upon the Atlantic coast, where the weight of the salt air presses against the slope of the land. It lies 26.1 km north of Lunenburg, NS (from Lunenburg, NS: bearing 358°T), and is situated 10.0 km north-west of Chester. The terrain rises toward the heights of Skipper Hill, providing a vantage point over the Slough River as it cuts a dark, quiet path toward the sea. Inland, the landscape holds the stillness of Millet Lake, situated just two kilometers away, where the surface reflects the bruised purple of an approaching dusk. Further reaches reveal the narrow tumble of Myra Falls at a five-kilometer remove, while the coastal edge finds a reprieve at Graves Island Provincial Park, located eleven kilometers from the center of Chester Grant. Here, the light catches the needles of spruce and fir, turning the shadows into deep, liquid pools that linger long after the sun has retreated behind the rise of the coast. Life in Chester Grant persists with a focus on the rugged demands of the maritime environment, where the proximity to the Atlantic has always dictated the pace of labor and trade. The local economy draws its strength from the resources of the coast and the surrounding timbered slopes, maintaining a character shaped by the cyclical demands of the seasons. Residents navigate the terrain with an intimate knowledge of the Slough River’s moods and the hidden hollows beneath Skipper Hill. Traditions here are quiet and private, passed down through families who have watched the tides roll against the shore for generations, finding a persistent beauty in the way the cold spray turns the granite of the coast to silver when the wind begins to howl.
