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 Hoegs Corner.
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.

Hoegs Corner is a locality in Colchester, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Hoegs Corner is located at 45.4384°N, 63.7731°W.
Hoegs Corner rests where the land tilts toward the Atlantic coast, cradled within the quiet rise of the Birch Hill. It lies 32.3 km south-east of Springhill, NS (from Springhill, NS: bearing 137°T), and is situated 12.5 km east-north-east of Economy. The Bass River winds through the lower reaches of this landscape, its currents carrying the salt-heavy air of the tide inland to meet the stillness of the woods. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, translucent violet, clinging to the grasses and the low-hanging branches of the trees that define the horizon. Though the broader world feels distant, the proximity of the Portapique River Wilderness Area lends a deep, untamed character to the surroundings, while the water of Gamble Lake sits tucked away only 6 km from the heart of the settlement. The solitude of the terrain is a physical presence, felt in the way the wind moves across the uneven ground and the absolute clarity of the stars once the sun retreats behind the coastal ridges. Life in Hoegs Corner maintains a steady, rooted connection to the rhythms of the seasons, shaped by the practical demands of a terrain that requires patience and steady hands. Historically, the modest clearings and the proximity to the Bass River supported those who worked the soil and harvested the bounty of the nearby woods, creating a legacy of self-reliance that persists in the way residents attend to their properties. The economy remains quiet, defined by a modest, diligent interaction with the natural surroundings rather than large-scale industry. Whether tending to the garden beds as the frost begins to settle or navigating the narrow lanes that track through the Birch Hill, the inhabitants move with a deliberate purpose. This focus on the immediate, tangible world gives Hoegs Corner a distinct gravity, where the weight of the sea and the silence of the forest define the boundaries of the day.

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.
