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 Stellarton.
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.

Stellarton is a town in Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Stellarton is located at 45.5594°N, 62.6599°W.
Stellarton rests firmly upon the Atlantic coast, defined by the quiet persistence of the East River of Pictou as it carves through the land. It lies 3.5 km south-south-west of New Glasgow, NS (from New Glasgow, NS: bearing 199°T), and is situated 12.6 km south of Pictou Landing. The air here holds the salt-sharp memory of the sea, while the horizon is anchored by the proximity of the Green Hill, which rises as a steady, emerald presence against the sky. Stellarton occupies a landscape where the light at dusk settles long and amber across the riverbanks, turning the water into a dark, slow-moving mirror that reflects the changing temper of the clouds. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the terrain opens toward the solitude of Forbes Lake, seven kilometers away, while the distant, hidden rush of Parks Falls and the quiet trails of Greenhill Provincial Park, both eleven kilometers from the center, offer a rugged counterpoint to the domestic order of the houses. The history of Stellarton remains defined by the deep, subterranean pulse of coal mining, an industry that once dictated the very gravity of the streets and the collective ambition of the people. While the heavy machinery of the past has long since quieted, the character of Stellarton persists in the sturdy architecture and the deliberate, pragmatic way the inhabitants move through their days. The influence of the river persists, not merely as a waterway, but as a silent witness to the economic shifts that have moved from the extraction of coal to modern commerce. A sense of permanence persists in the local traditions, where the weight of the past is carried lightly, balanced by the clear, bracing winds that sweep in from the coast to scrub the morning clean.

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 Stellarton 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.
