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

Farnham is a locality in Wellington, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Farnham is located at 43.5296°N, 80.1807°W.
Farnham sits quietly upon the land, defined by the persistent presence of the Eramosa River and the looming influence of the Niagara Escarpment. It lies 3.9 km east of Guelph, ON (from Guelph, ON: bearing 100°T), and is situated 9.5 km west of Darbyville. The Eramosa River carves a path through the terrain, its currents catching the pale, amber light that settles over the fields as the sun dips behind the rising ground. Near Farnham, the horizon is held by the limestone reach of the Niagara Escarpment, a geological spine that anchors the surrounding countryside. Those who wander from the edges of Farnham might find themselves drawn toward the nearby Rockwood Conservation Area, or perhaps toward the open expanses of Guelph Lake, which rests only a short distance away. Even Hilton Falls waits within reach, holding the memory of water moving over stone, a reminder of the raw, elemental forces that shape the character of this particular stretch of the province. The history of Farnham reflects the industry of those who first harnessed the river to turn wheels and clear the dense, stubborn bush. While modern life has brought change, the local economy remains tied to the cycles of the seasons, with agricultural roots that reach deep into the heavy, productive soil. Life in Farnham follows the steady rotation of the work week and the quietude of the weekends, where the sound of the Eramosa River often rises above the stillness of the afternoon. People here move with a deliberate purpose, mindful of the weather and the demands of the land, maintaining a focus on the immediate tasks that sustain them. It is a quiet existence, marked by the simple, enduring architecture of barns and homesteads that have stood through many winters, holding the warmth of the hearth against the encroaching frost.

Detailed location data for Farnham includes the postal code (N1L), 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 Farnham 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.
