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 Bassin-du-Lièvre.
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.

Bassin-du-Lièvre is a hamlet in Gatineau; Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Bassin-du-Lièvre is located at 45.5417°N, 75.4308°W.
Bassin-du-Lièvre rests within the quiet rise of Quigley Hill, anchored by the persistent flow of the Rivière du Lièvre. It lies 25.2 km east-north-east of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 60°T), and is situated 10.4 km north-east of Orléans. The water here holds a heavy, silvered light at dusk, mirroring the way the current gathers strength before moving toward the distant Chutes Dufferin. While Baie Carpentier offers a softer, more sheltered edge to the landscape, the terrain around Bassin-du-Lièvre retains a rugged, weathered quality that defines the local character. Further afield, the expanse of Parc national de Plaisance influences the movement of birds and the shifting migration of the seasons, grounding the region in a cycle that feels both ancient and immediate. The history of Bassin-du-Lièvre draws its strength from the industrial currents of the river, which once served as a primary artery for the timber trade that shaped the livelihoods of generations. Today, the economy reflects a transition from those heavy, extraction-based roots toward a more measured pace of life, where the sound of the water remains a constant companion to the workday. People here observe the seasonal changes with a careful eye, noticing how the mist clings to the slopes of Quigley Hill long after the morning has fully arrived. This locality maintains a distinct identity, one that values the resilience of the land and the quiet, persistent pull of the river as it carves its way through the province.
Bassin-du-Lièvre s’étire avec une patience tranquille sur les pentes de la colline Quigley, là où le regard bascule naturellement vers les méandres de la Rivière du Lièvre. La lumière du soir y possède une épaisseur particulière, dorant les berges et soulignant la robustesse de ce terrain façonné par une longue mémoire forestière et agricole. À quelques kilomètres, le murmure des Chutes Dufferin rappelle la puissance indomptable de l’eau qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des hommes, tandis que la Baie Carpentier offre une halte apaisée aux reflets changeants du ciel. Plus loin, l’immensité du Parc national de Plaisance semble étendre l’horizon, invitant au silence et à l’observation des cycles sauvages qui persistent malgré l’usure des jours. Bassin-du-Lièvre conserve ce caractère sobre des terres qui ont connu le labeur du bois et la ténacité des défricheurs, une identité solide qui ne cherche jamais à se donner en spectacle. Chaque inclinaison de la colline Quigley porte en elle une simplicité dépouillée, un lien direct entre la terre ferme et le courant de la Rivière du Lièvre, offrant aux passants la sensation rare d’un monde qui s'assume dans la clarté crue de son propre paysage.
