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 Charteris.
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.

Charteris is a hamlet in Clarendon; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Charteris is located at 45.6828°N, 76.4397°W.
Charteris sits nestled within the Rocher d'Alex, a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Canadian Shield. It lies 9.7 km north-north-east of Shawville, QC (from Shawville, QC: bearing 25°T), and is situated 14.2 km east of Bryson. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, where the air at dusk thickens with the scent of pine and damp earth, turning the horizon into a soft, bruised purple. While the Ottawa River flows through the wider region some 19 km away, the immediate surroundings of Charteris are characterized by a rugged, forested seclusion that feels far removed from the press of deeper waters. Small, hidden pockets of moisture collect in the lowlands, such as Lac McCord, which lies a mere 2 km away, offering a glassy mirror to the changing sky. The economy of Charteris has long mirrored the cycles of the land, rooted in the steady, demanding labor of agriculture and forestry that defines the Pontiac. Families here maintain a connection to the soil that values endurance over haste, mirroring the resilience of the settlers who first cleared these rocky clearings. Life in Charteris moves with the turning seasons, punctuated by the seasonal shift from the intense, bright green of spring to the muted, golden exhaustion of autumn. Though Ottawa River Provincial Park remains a distant 22 km away, the local character is defined by a fierce, private independence, reflecting a history of making a home in the granite-ribbed gaps of the earth.
Charteris s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres du Rocher d'Alex, où la terre arable rencontre une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le souffle des champs. L'air y est empreint d'une fraîcheur héritée des terres hautes, tandis que la proximité du Lac McCord, situé à peine à deux kilomètres, impose une présence liquide et apaisante sur le relief environnant. À dix-neuf kilomètres de distance, la rivière Ottawa charrie les échos d'une histoire forestière et agricole qui a façonné les fondations de ce secteur du Pontiac, là où le travail des hommes a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours. Le paysage s'organise autour d'une ruralité persistante, une géographie de labours et de boisés dont la sérénité n'est troublée que par le passage des vents venant du parc provincial Ottawa River, distant de vingt-deux kilomètres. Charteris conserve cette dignité des lieux qui ne cherchent pas à se faire remarquer, préférant offrir la texture rugueuse de ses chemins et la clarté de son ciel boréal. Chaque soir, le crépuscule descend sur les rangs avec une lenteur solennelle, soulignant la rudesse bienveillante d'un sol qui, depuis des générations, demande aux habitants une persévérance sans faille pour transformer la terre en subsistance.
