This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Prescott, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Ontario or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Prescott and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Prescott.
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.

Prescott is a separated town in Grenville, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Prescott is located at 44.7120°N, 75.5168°W.
Prescott rests along the northern bank of the St. Lawrence River, where the horizon broadens to accommodate the steady, heavy passage of deep-water vessels. It lies 18.5 km north-east of Brockville, ON (from Brockville, ON: bearing 46°T), and is situated 12.9 km south-east of McLeanville. The land here rises toward Fells Hill, a modest elevation that anchors the surrounding terrain and offers a vantage point over the low-lying fields. When the light fades at dusk, the water takes on a bruised, metallic sheen, reflecting the cooling air that drifts off the river’s surface. The South Nation River flows quietly through the nearby countryside, a hidden artery moving through the landscape about 8 km away, indifferent to the human activity concentrated along the main channel. The history of Prescott began with its strategic position on the river, transforming from a frontier point into a gateway for trade and transit. Industry has long looked to the water for momentum, and the legacy of these maritime connections remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture that defines the waterfront. Local commerce persists with a quiet resilience, moving goods and services through a corridor that has served travelers for generations. Modern life in Prescott unfolds with a practical focus, balancing the requirements of a working riverfront with the needs of a population that values the persistence of its own local traditions. Cultural character in Prescott finds expression in the preservation of historic sites like Fort Wellington, which stands as a silent observer of the border’s past. These landmarks serve as quiet reminders of earlier years, grounding the present in a tangible sense of continuity that bypasses the need for elaborate fanfare. Residents often find themselves defined by the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence River, which dictates the pace of the day and the quality of the wind. Even without the presence of famous figures or grand institutions, Prescott maintains a distinct identity, marked by the simple, enduring gravity of a life lived in proximity to a great waterway.

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 Prescott includes the postal code (K6V), 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 Prescott 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.
