This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for German Landing, 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).

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 German Landing.
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.

German Landing is a locality in Northumberland, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. German Landing is located at 44.2570°N, 77.6721°W.
German Landing rests within the quiet, elevated stretch of the Vardy Ridge, where the earth holds a stillness born of long-settled stone and deep, ancient soil. It lies 9.8 km north-west of Quinte West, ON (from Quinte West, ON: bearing 313°T), and is situated 11.3 km east-south-east of Campbellford. The air here carries a crisp, lingering chill even in the height of summer, as if the land remembers the frost long after the sun has climbed to its meridian. To the south, the Keating-Hoards Conservation Area provides a sanctuary of dense foliage that marks the transition of the terrain, offering a reprieve for those who wander the ridge. When the dusk settles, the light turns a bruised, plum-colored gold, illuminating the subtle contours of the ground and casting long, reaching shadows that seem to hold their breath against the coming night. The history of German Landing remains anchored to the industry of the surrounding Northumberland landscape, where early settlers once looked toward the promise of the fertile earth. While the Trent River flows with a steady, enduring purpose some 10 km away, and the waters of Oak Lake shimmer in the distance at a remove of 12 km, the daily life at German Landing stays focused on the immediate, practical demands of the ridge. Nearby, the dramatic descent of Ranney Falls, located 11 km from the ridge, serves as a reminder of the power inherent in the local waterways. Life here prefers the steady cadence of the seasons, where the persistence of the agricultural tradition defines the character of the inhabitants as much as the rising of the ridge itself.

Detailed location data for German Landing includes the postal code (K8V), 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 German Landing 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.
