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 Alcove.
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.

Alcove is a hamlet in La Pêche; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Alcove is located at 45.6825°N, 75.9314°W.
Alcove rests within the quiet reach of the Gatineau Valley, positioned where the rugged presence of the Escarpement d'Eardley rises to meet the flowing currents of the Rivière Gatineau. It lies 33.1 km north-north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 329°T), and is situated 9.4 km east-north-east of La Pêche. The land here holds the stillness of high ground, where the light at dusk catches the sharp edges of the granite slopes, turning the rock into a dull, burnished copper before the valley slips into shadow. Beyond the immediate banks of the river, the terrain rises toward the hidden, wooded basins where Lac Jamison mirrors the shifting clouds, offering a cool, reflective solitude that defines the local horizon. The history of Alcove reflects a long, deliberate relationship with the timber and agricultural potential of the surrounding hills. Residents often look to the water of the Rivière Gatineau as a constant, marking the passage of seasons through the changing weight of the flow and the seasonal dance of ice. The economy here maintains a steady, independent character, favoring small-scale enterprises that respect the demands of the steep, rocky earth. In the quiet hours of the morning, the air in Alcove carries a sharp, cedar-scented clarity, a reminder that the land remains indifferent to the haste of the world beyond the hills.
Alcove s’étire avec une humilité tranquille dans la municipalité de La Pêche, là où la terre s'incline pour saluer l'Escarpement d'Eardley. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, glissant sur les pentes rocheuses avant de se déposer sur les rives de la Rivière Gatineau, dont les eaux sombres et lentes semblent porter la mémoire des anciens radeaux de bois. À trois kilomètres de là, le Lac Jamison dort dans un repli de terrain, gardien discret d'un silence que seule la brise matinale vient troubler. L'histoire d'Alcove se lit dans la persistance de ses terres agricoles, héritage de bâtisseurs qui ont su dompter le sol rocailleux des Collines-de-l'Outaouais pour y faire racine. Les jours s'y écoulent sans précipitation, rythmés par le mouvement des saisons qui transforme les feuillus en une parure d'or et de pourpre, rappelant à chaque habitant la rigueur et la beauté du climat nordique. Ici, le travail de la terre demeure une sagesse transmise, une manière d'être au monde qui privilégie la lenteur et l'observation. La présence constante de la Rivière Gatineau impose une cadence singulière, une respiration calme qui définit le caractère de ceux qui ont choisi de s'établir dans ce cadre où la nature impose sa loi souveraine.

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.
