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 Hornepayne.
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.

Hornepayne is a suburban community in Algoma, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Hornepayne is located at 49.2181°N, 84.7772°W.
Hornepayne rests amidst the quiet, resilient expanse of the Canadian Shield, defined by a terrain where the earth holds the memory of ancient stone and persistent boreal forest. It lies 77.7 km east of Manitouwadge, ON (from Manitouwadge, ON: bearing 82°T), and is situated 61.7 km east-south-east of Hillsport. The landscape rises toward Tower Hill, a sentinel overlooking the low-lying reaches where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of spruce and cooling granite. Nearby, Charlie May's Lake mirrors the shifting sky, while the Shekak River flows through the neighboring woods, its path marking the steady pulse of water through the rugged interior. During the long dusk of the northern summer, the light lingers with a pale, amber quality that softens the harsh edges of the rock, lending the surroundings a profound sense of stillness that settles deep into the marrow of the land. The history of Hornepayne remains inextricably linked to the movement of iron and steam, having grown as a vital division point for the transcontinental railway. This industrial heritage continues to shape the local economy, as the rhythms of freight and timber transit dictate the daily movement of the people who call this northern outpost home. Workers move through the crisp morning air with a focused purpose, maintaining the steel arteries that connect the remote wilderness to the wider world. Beyond the tracks, the forest provides a backdrop of silent industry, where the persistence of the seasons challenges and defines the resilience of those who labor in the woods and along the rail lines. Cultural life in Hornepayne finds its expression in the shared endurance of the northern climate, where community gatherings offer warmth against the backdrop of the vast, snow-dusted horizon. Residents often venture toward the natural sanctuary of Nagagamisis Provincial Park, where the deep woods provide a respite from the demands of work and the mechanical hum of the rail yard. The character of the people reflects the straightforward honesty of the terrain, valuing a quiet strength that mirrors the enduring nature of the surrounding wilderness. In the long, dark months of winter, the glow from the windows of Hornepayne serves as a beacon of human tenacity, standing firm against the immense, star-filled silence of the north.

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 Hornepayne 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.
