Explore Broulan Reef, Ontario, Canada, with this interactive street and satellite map. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above the map to switch views. You can “grab” the map and drag it to re-centre it, or use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours — plus shaded relief, a labelled UTM grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Broulan Reef, Ontario. 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 Ontario or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Broulan Reef 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 Broulan Reef.
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.

Broulan Reef is a urban community in Cochrane, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Broulan Reef is located at 48.5140°N, 81.1393°W.
Broulan Reef sits amidst the quiet, austere stretches of the Canadian Shield, a terrain defined by its resilient bedrock and the persistent reach of boreal forest. It lies 14.9 km east-north-east of Timmins, ON (from Timmins, ON: bearing 71°T), and is situated 6.4 km north-east of South Porcupine. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity, particularly as the sun drops low and casts long, violet shadows across the stubborn earth. Visitors might find their gaze drawn to the stillness of Bob's Lake, which lies about 2 km away, acting as a mirror for the vast, pale sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the trees, the landscape remains spare and unadorned, favoring a stark beauty that reveals itself only to those who pause long enough to observe the shifting light upon the granite. The history of Broulan Reef remains deeply rooted in the extraction of mineral wealth that once defined the industrial ambitions of this northern region. While the South Porcupine River runs about 7 km away, its presence serves as a reminder of the historical waterways that once facilitated the movement of goods and labor. Life in Broulan Reef carries the weight of a working legacy, where the economy was built on the persistence of those who sought fortune beneath the surface. Nearby, the White Waterfront Conservation Area lies about 6 km away, providing a space where the natural world reclaims its own, offering a silent contrast to the industry that first brought people to these woods.

Explore Broulan Reef, Ontario, Canada, with an embedded street and satellite map — switch between views using the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. Coordinates: 48.51397, -81.13927. 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 Broulan Reef includes the postal code (P0N), telephone area code (226, 249, 289, 343, 365, 382, 416, 437, 519, 548, 613, 647, 705, 742, 807, 905). 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 Broulan Reef 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.
