How to Use This First South, Nova Scotia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for First South, Nova Scotia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

Drag the map to pan to any area of Nova Scotia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of First South and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.

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 First South.

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.

About First South, Nova Scotia

First South is a community in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. First South is located at 44.3677°N, 64.3460°W.

First South rests upon the uneven shoulders of the Atlantic coast, perched within the rising slopes of the Cossman Tower Hill. It lies 3.1 km west-south-west of Lunenburg, NS (from Lunenburg, NS: bearing 249°T), and is situated 13.8 km east of Bridgewater. The sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, catching the salt-crusted edges of the stone and turning the horizon into a sharp line of bruised indigo. While the inland waters of Wentzell Lake sit quietly about 2 km away, the salt air dictates the temperament of the land, pushing against the persistent growth of spruce and alder. Further afield, the LaHave River draws a slow, dark ribbon through the terrain some 7 km from the shore, while the distant rush of Cooks Falls waits 16 km beyond the horizon. The terrain holds a rugged, unyielding posture, where the wind shapes the trees into permanent gestures of leaning toward the sea. First South keeps a measured pace, defined by the practicalities of a maritime existence and a history rooted in the hard-won yields of the coastline. Fishing and small-scale agriculture have long provided the marrow of local life, with families turning the rocky earth to coax stubborn harvests from the soil. The architecture of the region reflects this pragmatic spirit, with houses standing firm against the gusts that roll off the Atlantic, their windows reflecting the changing moods of the tide. In the quiet of the evening, when the clamor of the day recedes, one can sense the weight of the generations who navigated these slopes, their lives marked by the same seasonal shifts that brighten the leaves in autumn or pull the mist across the hill.

Coordinates: 44.367688, -64.345975. Live weather conditions and 7-day forecasts — including hourly outlooks — are provided through Open-Meteo, while real-time local and world news feeds help keep the page current. Editorial summaries provide additional local information and context.

Detailed location data for First South includes the postal code (B4V), telephone area code (782, 902). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data for First South is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
