Explore South River, Ontario, Canada, with this interactive street and satellite map. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above the map to switch views. You can “grab” the map and drag it to re-centre it, or use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours — plus shaded relief, a labelled UTM grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South River, 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 South River 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 South River.
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.

South River is a village in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. South River is located at 45.8458°N, 79.3739°W.
South River rests upon the rugged, enduring terrain of the Canadian Shield, defined by the persistent flow of the South River as it winds past the elevation of Tricky Hill. It lies 52.5 km south of North Bay, ON (from North Bay, ON: bearing 173°T), and is situated 7.4 km north of Sundridge. The atmosphere here holds a particular clarity at dusk, when the cooling air settles into the valleys and the light catches the dark, mineral-heavy edges of the landscape. Nearby, the presence of Moose Lake offers a quiet counterpoint to the movement of the river, while the wilder, verdant expanses of Mikisew Provincial Park provide a sanctuary for the northern woods. The land feels ancient and deliberate, shaped by long winters that demand a certain patience from the earth and those who dwell upon it. The history of South River is marked by the industrious spirit of early settlers who looked to the surrounding forests for their livelihood. Timber and rail have played defining roles in the local economy, establishing a foundation that persists in the quiet, steady work of the present day. While the massive operations of the past have evolved, the relationship between the people and the land remains vital, characterized by a pragmatic ingenuity. Residents often find themselves working in trades that honor this tradition of resourcefulness, ensuring that the character of South River stays rooted in the practical demands of a northern climate. Cultural life in South River centers on the shared experience of the changing seasons and the deep, quiet beauty of the surrounding wilderness. The proximity to landmarks such as Stirling Falls invites a seasonal appreciation for the power of moving water, which remains a focal point for those seeking a connection to the natural world. There is a perceptible pride in the local resilience, where everyday life is governed by the turning of the leaves and the first heavy snowfall. Traditions here are rarely loud or performative, manifesting instead in the neighborly exchange of stories and the collective attention given to the health of the nearby forests and lakes.

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 South River includes the postal code (P0A), 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 South River 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.
