This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Flat River, Prince Edward Island. 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 Flat 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.

Flat River is a locality in Queens, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Flat River is located at 46.0100°N, 62.8647°W.
Flat River rests where the land concedes to the salt-heavy breath of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, its character defined by the quiet persistence of the tides. It lies 24.2 km south-west of Montague, PE (from Montague, PE: bearing 223°T), and is situated 10.0 km west-north-west of Wood Islands. The landscape here is shaped by the subtle rise of Lawtons Hill, which offers a vantage point over the low-lying fields and the winding path of the Flat River as it makes its way toward the sea. Inland, the surface of Black Lake mirrors the shifting moods of the sky, holding a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic churning of the nearby coast. When the light fades at dusk, the horizon blurs into a soft indigo, casting long, cool shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the trees. The history of Flat River lingers in the way the local economy remains tied to the cycles of the water and the earth. Families here have long harvested the bounty of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, balancing the demands of the fishery with the seasonal labour required by the coastal soil. Life in Flat River follows the turn of the seasons, marked by the arrival of migratory birds and the steady, persistent work of those who tend the land. The presence of the Flat River serves as a constant, quiet companion to the daily routines of the people, its current echoing the steady pulse of a life lived close to the elements. Even now, the community retains a sense of seclusion, grounded in a heritage that values the hard-won clarity of a life lived in direct contact with the natural world.
