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 Albert Mines.
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.

Albert Mines is a hamlet in Hatley; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Albert Mines is located at 45.3239°N, 71.9136°W.
Albert Mines rests within the quiet embrace of the Colline Haskell, where the land holds the weight of its geological inheritance. It lies 9.1 km south of Sherbrooke, QC (from Sherbrooke, QC: bearing 190°T), and is situated 5.4 km north-north-west of Waterville. Here, the Rivière Coaticook carves a persistent path through the terrain, its movement providing a low, constant hum that defines the local atmosphere. In the late afternoon, the light catches the mineral-rich slopes, casting long, sharp shadows that seem to anchor the earth against the wider horizon. The air carries a crisp, cool clarity that lingers, even as the evening sky deepens into a bruised, resonant indigo above the ridges. The history of Albert Mines persists in the scars and contours of the earth, a lingering reminder of the extraction that once dictated the pace of life. While modern activity has shifted, the identity of Albert Mines remains connected to the industry that first drew people to this rugged pocket of Hatley. Residents navigate the landscape with a familiarity born of long winters and the quiet demands of a rural existence, far from the bustle of Lac des Nations, Les Cascades, or the distant reaches of Parc national du Mont-Orford. The stillness of the valley is a defining feature, a space where the memory of labor meets the slow, indifferent growth of the surrounding woods.
Albert Mines s'étire sur les flancs de la Colline Haskell, là où le sol semble conserver la mémoire sourde des anciennes extractions qui ont façonné son relief accidenté. La Rivière Coaticook serpente à proximité, imposant son rythme calme aux terres basses tandis que la lumière déclinante du crépuscule enveloppe les boisés d'une teinte cuivrée, presque minérale. À huit kilomètres de distance, le Lac des Nations capte les derniers éclats du jour, tandis que les eaux vives des Cascades, situées à douze kilomètres, murmurent une mélodie constante qui parvient jusqu'aux parcelles agricoles héritées des premiers défricheurs. Au loin, le Parc national du Mont-Orford dessine une ligne sombre et protectrice contre l'horizon, rappelant la stature imposante de cette géographie régionale. Albert Mines demeure un espace de silence et de labeur, où les fermes conservent une architecture robuste, adaptée à la rudesse des hivers qui figent les terres sous un manteau de givre. Le caractère des habitants, forgé par une proximité étroite avec les éléments, s'exprime dans cette simplicité des gestes quotidiens, loin des tumultes urbains, dans un cadre où chaque colline et chaque repli de terrain raconte une histoire de persévérance humaine face à la terre.

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.
