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 Dégelis.
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.

Dégelis is a town in Dégelis; Témiscouata, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Dégelis is located at 47.5480°N, 68.6472°W.
Dégelis rests where the land leans toward the water, cradled by the long, reflective expanse of Lac Témiscouata and the quick, clear pulse of the Rivière aux Sapins. It lies 23.2 km south-east of Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, QC (from Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, QC: bearing 130°T), and is situated 12.4 km east-north-east of Packington. The light at dusk here often catches the surface of the lake, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that pulls the horizon close to the shore. This terrain is defined by the steep, forested slopes that rise from the water, creating a sheltered basin where the air holds the scent of balsam and cooling stone. The reach of the wilderness is never far, with the protected reaches of Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata waiting only twenty kilometers away, preserving a vast, quiet stillness that anchors the surrounding hills. The history of Dégelis flows from the necessity of the forest and the movement of logs down the waterways that once powered the local economy. For generations, the livelihood of the people was tied to the timber trade, with the Rivière aux Sapins serving as a vital artery for the mills that defined the early settlement. Today, while the industry has evolved, the connection to the land remains, with modern enterprises and local commerce sustaining the residents who maintain the steady, purposeful work of the region. The houses are positioned to catch the morning sun against the darkening backdrop of the trees, reflecting a practicality born from winters that demand resilience and a deep familiarity with the changing seasons. Cultural life in Dégelis thrives on the shared traditions of the Témiscouata region, where the identity of the people is shaped by their proximity to the water and the deep woods. Local gatherings often turn toward the lake, celebrating the natural heritage that defines the perimeter of their homes. While Dégelis is known for its modest scale, there is a distinct pride in the quiet, focused lives of its inhabitants who find beauty in the way the mist clings to the Rivière aux Sapins during the early hours of the morning. This is a life measured by the quality of the light and the changing color of the leaves, where the character of Dégelis is found in the simple, enduring gravity of the landscape itself.
Dégelis s’étire avec une patience ancienne sur les rives du Lac Témiscouata, là où les eaux sombres épousent le relief accidenté des terres. Le murmure de la Rivière aux Sapins accompagne le labeur quotidien des habitants, rappelant la rudesse des hivers et la ténacité nécessaire pour bâtir une vie sur ces plateaux forestiers. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur la surface du lac, changeant les teintes du ciel en reflets métalliques qui semblent veiller sur les maisons éparpillées. À une vingtaine de kilomètres, le Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata impose sa présence sauvage, un rappel constant de la force brute de la nature qui encadre l’existence humaine ici. L’histoire de Dégelis se lit dans le bois des structures et le rythme lent des activités industrielles qui ponctuent les journées, marquées par une fierté tranquille et une solidarité héritée des pionniers. Les vents qui descendent des hauteurs apportent une fraîcheur vive, purifiant l’air et soulignant la solitude apaisante de ce territoire. Chaque soir, la pénombre enveloppe les rives dans un silence profond, laissant le souvenir des efforts passés se confondre avec le calme des courants, tandis que Dégelis persiste sous un ciel immense, indifférent aux agitations du monde moderne.
