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 Butternut Flat.
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.

Butternut Flat is a locality in Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Butternut Flat is located at 45.1953°N, 72.0417°W.
Butternut Flat sits low against the earth, cradled by the quiet inclines of the Colline Butternut. It lies 11.3 km south-east of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 133°T), and is situated 15.0 km south-west of Waterville. The Rivière Tomifobia curls past the banks here, its dark, insistent current carrying the chill of the highlands toward the broader waters of Lac Massawippi. The air in Butternut Flat holds a particular weight at dusk, a cool dampness that rises from the riverbed to settle among the trees, turning the light a bruised, metallic violet before the stars emerge. Beyond the immediate rise of the hills, the terrain shifts toward the rugged profile of Parc national du Mont-Orford, which marks the horizon with its distant, serrated spine. One might follow the water a short way to hear the heavy, percussive rush of Chutes Burroughs, where the river collapses over stone in a constant, foaming agitation that defines the soundscape of the valley. Life in Butternut Flat moves in alignment with the demands of the soil and the seasonal turning of the woods. The economy has long favored the small-scale cultivation of the slopes, where the stubborn, stony ground requires a patient hand to yield its harvest. Local traditions remain tied to the cycles of the forest and the river, reflecting a history of settling in the shelter of the Colline Butternut to avoid the harshest winds. Residents move through their days with a quiet competence, their routines dictated by the sudden, sharp frosts of autumn and the spring thaw that swells the Rivière Tomifobia until it threatens the low-lying grass. There is a spare, functional beauty in the way the barns and farmhouses cling to the land, their weathered boards silvering under the pressure of the weather until they seem like natural outcroppings of the hillside itself.
Butternut Flat se déploie avec une humilité tranquille sur les pentes de la Colline Butternut, là où le souffle du vent semble s'attarder pour épouser les courbures du terrain. Les eaux de la Rivière Tomifobia serpentent à proximité, traçant un sillon argenté qui rythme le labeur et le repos de ceux qui cultivent cette terre fertile depuis des générations. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Massawippi étend sa nappe paisible, tandis que les Chutes Burroughs murmurent une plainte éternelle contre les rocs, rappelant la puissance indomptée des forces naturelles qui façonnent la région. Plus loin, les reliefs imposants du Parc national du Mont-Orford dessinent une ligne sombre et protectrice contre l'horizon, offrant un rempart majestueux aux habitants de Butternut Flat. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule s'étire en longues traînées dorées sur les champs, révélant la texture brute d'un sol façonné par l'agriculture et le passage des saisons. Chaque sentier, chaque recoin de cette topographie vallonnée porte la mémoire des travailleurs qui ont su apprivoiser ce paysage exigeant. La rudesse du climat n'altère en rien la quiétude de ces espaces, où la terre, le cours d'eau et les sommets proches composent une harmonie austère et singulière, propre à cette contrée de Memphrémagog.
