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 Clarington.
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.

Clarington is a municipality in Durham, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Clarington is located at 43.9947°N, 78.6750°W.
Clarington rests within a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the earth near the Poplar Hill, where the land holds the long, cooling shadows of the afternoon with a heavy, deliberate grace. It lies 18.0 km north-east of Oshawa, ON (from Oshawa, ON: bearing 54°T), and is situated 9.3 km north of Bowmanville. The terrain here rises and falls in subtle shifts, grounding the horizon in a stillness that feels ancient and undisturbed by the frantic pace of distant centers. Even when the wind moves across the open fields, the air retains a crisp, clean clarity, carrying the scent of damp soil and the sharp, metallic tang of the changing seasons. The Pigeon River flows about 11 km away, a distant presence that defines the wider drainage of the region, its path carved through the bedrock with a slow, patient determination that has shaped the drainage of the surrounding countryside for generations. The history of Clarington is rooted in the steady expansion of agrarian and industrial interests that have long defined the character of this part of Ontario. Early settlement patterns followed the natural contours of the land, with farms and small-scale operations establishing themselves in the fertile pockets sheltered by the elevation of Poplar Hill. Over time, the local economy matured, shifting from purely agricultural pursuits to include a more diverse range of manufacturing and energy-related industries that provide the backbone for modern employment. These workplaces sit against the backdrop of the fields, their structures standing as pragmatic markers of human labor, while the workers move between their tasks with a focused, quiet competence that mirrors the endurance of the land itself. Life in Clarington maintains a distinct character, marked by a balance between the demands of modern industry and the lingering influence of its rural origins. Traditions here are kept with a low-key intensity, often centered on the shared experiences of the community rather than grand gestures or public spectacle. The light at dusk settles over the rooftops and the surrounding acreage with a golden, honeyed hue, softening the hard edges of the architecture and casting the day’s final activity into a peaceful silhouette. Whether gathered for local events or simply moving through the routines of the week, the people of Clarington navigate their surroundings with an awareness of the physical space they occupy, grounded by the proximity of the hills and the distant, unseen pull of the water.

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 Clarington 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.
