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 Hammonds Plains Road.
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.

Hammonds Plains Road is a locality in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Hammonds Plains Road is located at 44.7288°N, 63.7496°W.
Hammonds Plains Road carves a steady path through the rugged terrain of the Wallace Hill, where the air holds the sharp, salt-tinged promise of the nearby Atlantic coast. It lies 15.1 km west-north-west of Dartmouth, NS (from Dartmouth, NS: bearing 296°T), and is situated 15.5 km north-west of Halifax. The landscape here is defined by a deep-rooted resilience, characterized by rocky outcrops and dense stretches of forest that seem to hold their breath under the shifting maritime light. Schmidt Lake sits tucked within this expanse, a quiet mirror to the sky just a short distance from the roadside, while the distant rush of the Sackville River and the far-off murmur of Bear Trap Falls lend a sense of hidden movement to the stillness. Evening light turns the granite boulders to iron, casting long shadows that stretch across the road as the day recedes into the cool, damp embrace of the woods. The history of Hammonds Plains Road remains anchored in the stubborn effort of those who first cleared these hills, transforming a challenging wilderness into a corridor of steady, functional life. While the Blue Mountain-Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area provides a vast backdrop of protected green, the immediate local economy hums with the practical necessities of suburban transition and small-scale enterprise. Residents navigate the daily commute with an awareness of the land’s original, untamed character, balancing modern demands against the persistent presence of the surrounding hills. Whether it is the sound of tires on asphalt or the sudden, sharp scent of pine needles after a rain, Hammonds Plains Road asserts itself as a place where the work of the day is always framed by the enduring weight of the Nova Scotian geography.
