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 Dardanelles.
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.

Dardanelles is a locality in Clarendon; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Dardanelles is located at 45.5606°N, 76.6528°W.
Dardanelles rests amidst the rugged rise of MacKenzies Hill, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the Canadian Shield overlooking the expansive waters of the Ottawa River. It lies 10.0 km north-north-east of Renfrew, QC (from Renfrew, QC: bearing 14°T), and is situated 13.4 km west-south-west of Shawville. The air here carries a sharp clarity, especially when the late afternoon light catches the jagged outcrops of rock, turning the stone a deep, bruised violet against the darkening timber. Beyond the immediate slopes, the presence of McCarrolls Lake offers a hidden stillness, while the distant expanse of Ottawa River Provincial Park marks the wider reach of this waterway. The terrain is marked by a persistent, stony resilience, where the wind moves through the pines with a sound like long-forgotten breath. Clarendon and the broader Pontiac region have long been shaped by the interplay between the stubborn earth and the heavy, life-giving current of the Ottawa River. Dardanelles remains defined by a history of hard work, where generations have cleared the stubborn soil and navigated the forest to sustain a life rooted in the land. Agriculture and local resourcefulness drive the economy, maintaining a pace of life that respects the heavy winters and the sudden, vibrant blooming of the spring thaw. Even today, the people manage their daily tasks with a focus that mirrors the steady, relentless flow of the river below, finding a quiet satisfaction in the persistence required to thrive in such a demanding landscape.
Dardanelles s'étire sur les pentes souples de la colline MacKenzies, là où le sol garde encore la mémoire des efforts des premiers défricheurs venus bâtir leur existence sur les rives de la rivière Ottawa. Dans ce coin de Clarendon, le vent apporte une fraîcheur constante qui fait frissonner les hautes herbes, rappelant à chacun que la terre impose ici son rythme propre, exigeant et solennel. À quelques kilomètres, le lac McCarrolls dort dans une quiétude minérale, offrant aux rares visiteurs une eau immobile qui semble absorber tout le poids du ciel. Plus loin, le parc provincial Ottawa River dessine une frontière naturelle où la forêt reprend ses droits, étouffant les échos des anciennes activités agricoles qui ont façonné les parcelles environnantes. Dardanelles observe ainsi le passage des heures, avec ses maisons qui semblent s'incliner sous l'immensité de l'horizon, tandis que la lumière déclinante du soir souligne les replis de la colline MacKenzies d'une teinte cuivrée. Les gens de la région cultivent une discrétion farouche, protégeant leurs traditions comme on préserve un héritage fragile, loin des bruits du monde, là où seule la rivière Ottawa poursuit son lent cheminement vers l'inconnu, imperturbable et souveraine sous le regard des montagnes lointaines.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
