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

Gretna is a locality in Lennox and Addington, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Gretna is located at 44.1926°N, 76.9826°W.
Gretna rests upon the low, limestone-rich margins where the land yields to the expansive reach of Lake Ontario. It lies 32.0 km east of Belleville, ON (from Belleville, ON: bearing 86°T), and is situated 5.1 km south-south-west of Greater Napanee. The Napanee River carves a deliberate path toward the water, its currents pulling against the stillness of the shoreline while Roblin Hill rises nearby to catch the first grey light of morning. When the air turns crisp, the light takes on a brittle, silver clarity that illuminates the weathered stone and the deep, dark soil of the surrounding fields. Residents often find their way toward the quiet paths of the Napanee Conservation Area, located only 6 km away, where the brush grows thick and the earth feels ancient underfoot. Even the distant, rushing mist of Buttermilk Falls, situated 16 km away, seems to lend a hushed intensity to the horizon, grounding Gretna in a landscape defined by the persistent, cold weight of water and rock. The local character of Gretna draws from a long history of agricultural resilience, where the economy has historically leaned into the productivity of the soil and the steady flow of the river to move goods through Lennox and Addington. Daily life here maintains a focused intensity, marked by the mechanical hum of tractors in the autumn and the stark, quiet endurance required by the winters. Generations have shaped their livelihoods around the rhythms of the seasons, valuing a certain pragmatism that respects the limits of the terrain. While the pace is measured, the identity of Gretna persists through the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest, holding fast to a legacy of land stewardship that remains visible in the orderly fences and the enduring stone foundations scattered across the countryside.

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 Gretna includes the postal code (K7R), 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 Gretna 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.
