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 Crystal Heights.
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.

Crystal Heights is a resort area in Rawdon; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Crystal Heights is located at 46.0639°N, 73.7208°W.
Crystal Heights occupies a rugged, elevated vantage point near the slopes of Mont Saint-Jean, where the air holds a crisp, bracing clarity throughout the changing seasons. It lies 21.9 km west-north-west of Joliette, QC (from Joliette, QC: bearing 282°T), and is situated 2.6 km north-north-west of Rawdon. The terrain here rises in firm, granite-strewn shoulders, offering views of a landscape where the light at dusk turns the pine needles to a deep, burnished bronze. Nearby, the waters of Lac Rawdon rest in a quiet basin just 2 km away, while the persistent, rhythmic tumble of Chutes Mason sounds from 3 km distant. Further out, the Rivière Blanche carves its path through the lower reaches, flowing about 6 km from the heights to anchor the surrounding geography in a steady, liquid grace. The character of Crystal Heights reflects a long history of seasonal settlement and the steady, industrious spirit common to the wider Rawdon region. While local life often turns toward the seasonal rhythms of the Matawinie wilderness, the economy remains rooted in a blend of small-scale enterprise and the enduring appeal of the region’s natural solitude. Residents maintain a pace of life that values the stillness of the woods, often finding their afternoons occupied by the maintenance of homesteads or the quiet observation of the shifting canopy. Whether the ground is locked in the white silence of winter or softened by the damp, mossy warmth of summer, Crystal Heights persists as a distinct point of focus, defined by its elevation and the proximity of the surrounding wild.
Crystal Heights s’étire sur les contreforts boisés de la Matawinie, offrant une perspective singulière où le relief semble respirer sous l'influence du Mont Saint-Jean. Dans ce territoire façonné par les soubresauts de la géologie, la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, venant caresser les crêtes avant de se perdre dans les replis du terrain. La présence du Lac Rawdon, situé à deux kilomètres à peine, apporte une humidité constante qui adoucit les soirées, tandis que le tumulte lointain des Chutes Mason scande le silence des forêts environnantes. À six kilomètres de là, la Rivière Blanche serpente entre les conifères, traçant un sillage d’argent dans la pénombre croissante. Crystal Heights conserve une identité modelée par les terres rocailleuses et les héritages agricoles qui ont jadis dicté le rythme des jours. Les résidents observent le passage des heures avec une retenue naturelle, habitués à la rigueur d’un climat qui impose sa discipline aux activités humaines. Ici, la terre ne se livre pas sans effort, et cette rudesse même constitue le socle d'une existence calme, où le souvenir des premiers défrichements subsiste dans la disposition des parcelles et la solidité des bâtisses. Chaque soir, l'air devient plus vif, rappelant à quiconque s'attarde que le paysage demeure le seul véritable maître des lieux.
