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 Richmond 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.

Richmond Hill is a town in York, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a city. Richmond Hill is located at 43.8747°N, 79.4394°W.
Richmond Hill occupies a prominent position on the Oak Ridges Moraine, where the land rises with a quiet, persistent strength toward the elevated terrain near the Heise Hill. It lies 8.1 km east-north-east of Vaughan, ON (from Vaughan, ON: bearing 72°T), and is situated 15.7 km north-north-west of Toronto. The physical setting is defined by a glacial legacy that left behind a rolling topography, catching the pale, slanted light of late autumn afternoons as it stretches toward the horizon. Though the East Humber River runs about 10 km away, the local horizon remains defined by the subtle height of the land itself, while the distant, calm presence of Philips Lake lies about 6 km away. The air here holds a distinct, crisp clarity, often carrying the scent of damp earth and the quiet anticipation of the coming frost as the seasons shift across the ridges. The historical development of Richmond Hill reflects a transition from early agrarian roots to a contemporary hub of commerce and professional enterprise. The local economy has moved far beyond the initial clearing of timber, now supporting a diverse array of corporate offices, technology firms, and retail sectors that anchor the regional stability. Residents often move through their days with a focus on the modern demands of industry, yet the underlying character of the land maintains a gravity that persists beneath the pavement. While the sprawl of development continues to change the skyline, the community maintains a steady, industrious pace, balancing the pressure of modern business with the lingering memory of the fields that once defined the horizon. Cultural life in Richmond Hill is marked by an increasing diversity that informs its public spaces and seasonal traditions, drawing people into a shared sense of belonging. The presence of Parc urbain national du Canada de la Rouge, located about 18 km away, offers a vast, protected reach of nature that serves as a vital escape from the suburban intensity. Among those who have shaped the public consciousness, the hockey player Connor McDavid stands as a notable figure associated with his formative years in the region. Richmond Hill continues to evolve as a center where the weight of its growing stature meets the quiet, enduring influence of the surrounding landscape, ensuring that the character of the place remains firmly rooted in the geography that first defined it.

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 Richmond 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.
