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

Carlington is a urban community in Carleton, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Carlington is located at 45.3787°N, 75.7314°W.
Carlington rests upon the rise of Nanny Goat Hill, where the land holds the quiet gravity of a long-settled ridge. It lies 5.7 km south-south-west of Gatineau, ON (from Gatineau, ON: bearing 196°T), and is situated 12.5 km west-north-west of Ottawa. The air here carries a crisp, urban stillness, especially as the late afternoon light flattens against the rooftops and turns the pavement to a cool, slate grey. While the Rideau River flows within the wider landscape, the horizon remains defined by the elevated terrain that gives Carlington its distinct perspective over the surrounding streets. Nearby, the water of Dow’s Lake rests in a shallow basin three kilometres distant, while the distant rush of Prince of Wales Falls echoes faintly across the same three-kilometre span, grounding the neighborhood in a geography defined by the slow movement of water through the provincial plains. The history of Carlington traces back to the mid-twentieth century, when the need for housing transformed the open fields into a dense grid of modest homes and wide, tree-lined boulevards. Today, the economy of Carlington functions as a steady pulse of local shops and services, supporting a population that moves through the day with a focused, deliberate energy. The neighborhood maintains a character defined by its resilient housing stock and the simple beauty of its mature maples, which catch the wind and scatter shadows across the lawns during the long, humid summers. Life in Carlington keeps a steady, predictable pace, defined by the practical needs of the people who call the hill their home and find comfort in the stability of a place that has quietly held its ground for decades.

Detailed location data for Carlington includes the postal code (K1Z), 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 Carlington 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.
