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

Locust Hill is a compact rural community in York, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Locust Hill is located at 43.8867°N, 79.1992°W.
Locust Hill rests upon the quiet, rolling terrain of York, where the light at dusk settles long and amber across the fields near Dicksons Hill. It lies 5.3 km east-north-east of Markham, ON (from Markham, ON: bearing 78°T), and is situated 13.4 km west-north-west of Ajax. The land here holds the stillness of an older Ontario, marked by the steady, measured pace of those who work the soil and attend to the land’s edges. While the Parc urbain national du Canada de la Rouge lies about 6 km away, its presence is felt in the cool, verdant breath that drifts over the local meadows, and the Rivière Rouge flows some 12 km distant, grounding the region in a wider, hidden drainage of earth and water. Locust Hill maintains a character defined by its agricultural roots and the subtle transition from open farmstead to the encroaching reach of the nearby urban landscape. History clings to the crossroads of Locust Hill, where the early settlement patterns left a distinct imprint on the layout of the lanes and the orientation of the older homesteads. The local economy has shifted over generations from purely agrarian pursuits to a more diverse blend of small-scale industry and service, yet the focus remains on the preservation of a rural identity within a changing province. Residents often find beauty in the stark, skeletal silhouette of trees against the winter sky or the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying hollows near the roadsides. Daily life in Locust Hill feels contained and deliberate, defined by the familiar passage of vehicles moving toward the horizon and the enduring influence of a geography that prioritizes the horizon over the bustle of the nearby centers.

Detailed location data for Locust Hill includes the postal code (L6B), 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 Locust Hill 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.
