How to Use This Wallace Ridge, Nova Scotia Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wallace Ridge, 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 Wallace Ridge 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 Wallace Ridge.

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 Wallace Ridge, Nova Scotia

Wallace Ridge is a community in Cumberland, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Wallace Ridge is located at 45.7841°N, 63.4134°W.

Wallace Ridge rises as a firm, salt-braced spine above the Atlantic coast, where the air holds the sharp, metallic tang of shifting tides. It lies 47.8 km north-north-west of Truro, NS (from Truro, NS: bearing 347°T), and is situated 12.4 km north-west of Tatamagouche. The terrain here is defined by the proximity of the Dewar River, whose currents pull steadily toward the sea, carving a quiet path through the earth that shadows the rise of Swallow Hill. When the sun hangs low, the light catches the crests of the ridge, turning the grasses into a pale, flickering gold that mirrors the restless motion of the water below. Angevine Lake sits ten kilometers inland, a still, dark counterpoint to the Atlantic’s constant, churning pulse, grounding the landscape in a deep and heavy silence. The history of Wallace Ridge is marked by the labor of those who cleared the timber and worked the stone, building a life that demands a practical, steady hand. Agriculture and the seasonal rhythms of the coast dictate the pace of the day, as residents maintain a connection to the land that is both rigorous and quiet. The character of Wallace Ridge reflects this endurance, found in the way the wind beats against the timber frames of older homes and the resilience of the fields that persist despite the coastal gales. It is a place defined by the weight of the Atlantic sky and the persistent, cold clarity of the Dewar River, where the local life moves with the deliberate intent of a season turning.

Coordinates: 45.784106, -63.413402. 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 Wallace Ridge includes the postal code (B0K), 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 Wallace Ridge 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.
