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

Port Talbot is a locality in Elgin, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Port Talbot is located at 42.6383°N, 81.3580°W.
Port Talbot rests upon the high, weathered bluffs that overlook the vast, slate-grey expanse of Lake Erie. It lies 21.2 km south-west of St. Thomas, ON (from St. Thomas, ON: bearing 222°T), and is situated 12.2 km east-south-east of Dutton. The air here carries a persistent, cooling moisture that rises from the water, often turning the morning light into a soft, diffused haze that clings to the shoreline. While the Thames River winds its course through the distant inland plains, the immediate landscape of Port Talbot is defined by the steady, rhythmic pulse of the lake against the shore, a presence that commands the horizon and dictates the shifting moods of the sky. Nearby, the quiet woodlands of John E. Pearce Provincial Park offer a sheltered reprieve from the open wind, where the dense canopy holds a stillness that contrasts sharply with the relentless motion of the water. The history of Port Talbot remains anchored to the ambition of early settlement, when the rugged edge of the lake served as a gateway for those carving a life from the dense, unyielding forest. Agriculture has long defined the local economy, with fields stretching back from the cliffs, their seasonal yields following the slow turning of the sun. Life in Port Talbot moves with the heavy, deliberate pace of the seasons, where the harvest and the winter frost dictate the cycle of the day. There is a singular, stark beauty in the way the local architecture sits against the horizon, unadorned and functional, reflecting a heritage built on endurance rather than artifice. Even now, the land retains a quiet sense of solitude, as if the residents of Port Talbot are content to let the lake tell its own story while they go about the persistent work of maintaining their place upon the bank.

Detailed location data for Port Talbot includes the postal code (N5L), 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 Port Talbot 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.
