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 Cantley.
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.

Cantley is a municipality in Cantley; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Cantley is located at 45.5510°N, 75.7834°W.
Cantley rests within the quiet reach of the Mont Fortune, where the terrain rises in rugged swells above the persistent flow of the Rivière Gatineau. It lies 14.8 km north-north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 338°T), and is situated 5.3 km north of Chelsea. The land here holds a particular quality of light at dusk, a soft amber clarity that settles over the slopes and lingers against the dark, cooling timber of the hillsides. Five kilometers distant, the still surface of Lac des Méandres mirrors the changing sky, providing a sanctuary of calm that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency pulse of the river below. Even in the middle of the day, the air carries a crisp, mineral sharpness, a reminder of the ancient stone foundations beneath the forest floor. The history of Cantley is tied to the industry of the wood and the slow clearing of the rugged earth, a labor that shaped the character of those who settled along the banks of the Rivière Gatineau. While the local economy has shifted from early extraction toward a residential life, the influence of the landscape remains, seen in the winding roads that follow the natural contours of the bedrock. Residents often find their way toward the nearby Rideau Falls, a landmark that draws the eye toward the horizon and serves as a point of reflection for the region. Daily life in Cantley follows the turn of the seasons, moving with the quiet diligence of a population that appreciates the solitude provided by the surrounding heights and the deep, flowing water.
Cantley s'étire avec une grâce tranquille le long des berges de la Rivière Gatineau, là où le relief s'incline pour épouser les flancs du Mont Fortune. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose des reflets cuivrés sur les eaux courantes, révélant une topographie accidentée qui rappelle les racines agricoles et forestières de ses premiers défricheurs. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac des Méandres offre une quiétude liquide, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Rideau, situé à quatorze kilomètres, ponctue le silence des terres environnantes. Cantley préserve ce caractère intime, fait de chemins escarpés et de vallons boisés où les habitants observent le passage des heures, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'humidité des sous-bois et de la fraîcheur minérale qui émane du sol rocailleux des Collines-de-l'Outaouais. Chaque maison, nichée contre la pente ou ouverte sur les vastes étendues, semble respirer au rythme des cycles naturels, dans une harmonie simple où la rudesse du climat sculpte les habitudes. Ce paysage, façonné par les eaux et la roche, demeure le gardien silencieux d'une existence sobre, privilégiant la contemplation des crêtes et la persistance des traditions rurales qui animent encore aujourd'hui les foyers.
