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 Alleyn-et-Cawood.
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.

Alleyn-et-Cawood is a municipality in Alleyn-et-Cawood; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Alleyn-et-Cawood is located at 45.9250°N, 76.1584°W.
Alleyn-et-Cawood rests within the quiet elevation of the Colline de l'École, where the land rises in firm, granite-shouldered ridges. It lies 44.1 km north-east of Shawville, QC (from Shawville, QC: bearing 36°T), and is situated 19.0 km south-south-west of Gracefield. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often catching the silvered light of dusk as it retreats behind the dense timber that defines the horizon. Just a short distance away, the quiet waters of Lac Holmes mirror the shifting moods of the sky, offering a stillness that seems to deepen the silence of the surrounding woods. While the Rivière Gatineau flows through the wider region some 12 km away, the local terrain remains defined by these smaller, hidden pockets of water and the rugged, unyielding character of the Canadian Shield. The history of Alleyn-et-Cawood reflects the stubborn perseverance of settlers who cleared these stony heights to build a life against the grain of the wilderness. Agriculture and small-scale forestry have long shaped the local economy, keeping the pace of daily existence aligned with the turning of the seasons rather than the rush of modern industry. Beyond the immediate clearings, the Réserve écologique André-Michaux stands 23 km away, protecting a portion of the wild landscape that once demanded so much from the early pioneers. Today, the residents maintain a connection to the land that feels both practical and profound, honoring a tradition of self-reliance that persists in the way a woodpile is stacked or a field is kept against the encroaching brush.
Alleyn-et-Cawood déploie ses terres sur les reliefs de la Colline de l’École, offrant un horizon où la rudesse du bouclier rencontre la patience des cultivateurs. Ici, le ciel descend bas sur les champs, déposant une lumière crue qui souligne la texture des boisés et le silence des terres agricoles. À peine à un kilomètre, les eaux tranquilles du Lac Holmes retiennent les reflets changeants du jour, agissant comme un miroir pour les rares promeneurs attentifs au souffle du vent dans les hautes herbes. Plus loin, la Rivière Gatineau trace un sillage lointain dans la vallée, rappelant la force des courants qui ont façonné le relief. Les jours s'étirent avec une lenteur familière, rythmés par le passage des machines et la vie simple des habitants qui habitent ces espaces vastes. La présence de la Réserve écologique André-Michaux, située à vingt-trois kilomètres, rappelle la rigueur d'une nature sauvage que les hommes ont apprivoisée sans jamais chercher à la dompter tout à fait. Alleyn-et-Cawood conserve cette allure de frontière tranquille, un équilibre fragile entre le travail quotidien et le repos que réclame ce sol rocailleux, invitant à une contemplation sobre sous la clarté des crépuscules qui prolongent les ombres sur le chemin.
