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 Dépôt-Baskatong.
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.

Dépôt-Baskatong is a locality in Grand-Remous; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Dépôt-Baskatong is located at 46.7844°N, 75.8703°W.
Dépôt-Baskatong rests upon the quiet, expansive edge of Réservoir Baskatong, where the land holds the heavy, cool scent of pine and damp earth. It lies 38.4 km north-west of Mont-Laurier, QC (from Mont-Laurier, QC: bearing 313°T), and is situated 15.7 km south-south-west of Dépôt-de-l'Île. The air here possesses a crystalline clarity that sharpens the edges of the horizon, especially when the late afternoon light turns the surface of the reservoir into a sheet of hammered copper. While the Rivière Gatineau flows with a steady, distant purpose some 12 km away, the immediate surroundings of Dépôt-Baskatong remain defined by the stillness of the northern woods and the presence of Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain, which sits 21 km off, preserving a fragment of the wild forest in its natural state. The history of Dépôt-Baskatong is rooted in the hard-won labor of the timber trade, a legacy that lingers in the way the local economy still looks toward the forest and the water for its vitality. Residents move with the seasonal shifts of the reservoir, their daily lives shaped by the demands of forestry and the quiet pursuit of outdoor livelihoods that have persisted for generations. Even today, the wood smoke rising from a chimney on a crisp morning signals a persistence of tradition, where the work of the hands and the observation of the water remain the primary measures of a day well spent.
Dépôt-Baskatong s’étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les rives vastes du Réservoir Baskatong, où la lumière déclinante du soir teinte l’eau d’un cuivre profond. Ici, le terrain se déploie en une succession de ondulations forestières, façonnées par une longue tradition de coupe et de transport du bois qui a façonné le quotidien des habitants de Grand-Remous. À une douzaine de kilomètres, la Rivière Gatineau poursuit sa course inaltérable, apportant une fraîcheur constante qui imprègne l’air de senteurs résineuses et humides. Plus loin, à vingt et un kilomètres, la Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain préserve un sanctuaire végétal dont le calme semble envahir les environs. Dépôt-Baskatong conserve dans son atmosphère le souvenir des anciens chantiers forestiers, une mémoire qui subsiste sous la rigueur climatique de la Vallée-de-la-Gatineau. Les travailleurs, habitués aux caprices de la terre, occupent ces espaces avec une détermination sobre, loin du tumulte des cités. Le soir venu, le vent glissant sur la surface du Réservoir Baskatong apporte un souffle qui semble raconter l’histoire des gens qui ont bâti leur existence sur ces terres. Dans ce silence géographique, le rapport aux éléments demeure la mesure exacte de la vie, imposant une lenteur nécessaire à la survie de ceux qui habitent ces contrées reculées.
