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

Red Rock is a compact rural community in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Red Rock is located at 48.9412°N, 88.2588°W.
Red Rock rests upon the rugged, enduring edge of Lake Superior, cradled by the prominence of Red Rock Hill. It lies 7.8 km south of Nipigon, ON (from Nipigon, ON: bearing 176°T), and is situated 19.4 km east-north-east of Hurkett. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of deep water and stone, a clarity that seems to sharpen the outlines of the horizon as the sun descends behind the cliffs. To the west, the Nipigon River flows with a cold, steady persistence, while the quiet basin of Ruby Lake Provincial Park offers a sheltered stillness that contrasts with the expansive, restless mood of the great lake. The terrain is defined by this meeting of water and elevation, where the earth rises abruptly to meet the northern sky, creating a vista that feels both ancient and immediate. The history of Red Rock is anchored in the industry that once drew strength from the surrounding forests and the accessible waterways. For decades, the local economy relied heavily on the operation of the pulp and paper mill, a structure that dominated the skyline and dictated the daily routines of those who lived in its shadow. While the mill eventually ceased operations, the legacy of that era remains in the sturdy, deliberate design of the local architecture and the resilience of the people who transitioned toward new livelihoods. Today, the economy leans into the natural beauty of the surroundings, shifting focus toward outdoor recreation and the stewardship of the rugged landscape that defines the region. Life in Red Rock moves with the changing seasons, marked by the arrival of ice in the winter and the brief, brilliant intensity of the summer months. The cultural character of Red Rock is shaped by a quiet pride in its northern identity and an appreciation for the vast, untamed spaces that surround the settlement. Residents often gather for local events that celebrate the unique geography, fostering a sense of connection that persists despite the isolation of the northern wilderness. The presence of the surrounding hills and the proximity of the water ensure that the daily experience of Red Rock remains defined by the elements, where the wind off the lake serves as a constant, humming reminder of the wilder world beyond the shore.

Detailed location data for Red Rock includes the postal code (P0T), 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 Red Rock 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.
