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 Ditchfield.
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.

Ditchfield is a locality in Frontenac; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ditchfield is located at 45.5497°N, 70.8319°W.
Ditchfield rests within the rugged folds of the Montagne de la Croix, where the land rises in quiet defiance against the horizon. It lies 4.8 km south-east of Lac-Mégantic, QC (from Lac-Mégantic, QC: bearing 125°T), and is situated 29.4 km east-north-east of Franceville. The Rivière Chaudière cuts a persistent path through this terrain, its waters reflecting the bruised purples and deep indigos that settle over the valley as the sun retreats behind the heights. In the crisp air of late afternoon, the light clings to the slopes, sharpening the contours of the earth until the forest seems to exhale a cool, damp breath across the stones. This solitude is punctuated only by the movement of the river, which carries the weight of the high country downward, carving a singular identity for Ditchfield amidst the enduring silence of the hills. The history of Ditchfield draws its strength from the resourcefulness of those who turned the granite-rich earth of Le Granit to their purpose. While the nearby Parc national du Mont-Mégantic offers a vast expanse of protected wilderness, the life of Ditchfield remains anchored to the immediate demands of the landscape and the steady pulse of local industry. Families here have long navigated the seasons, their traditions shaped by the proximity of Lac Dubuc, which sits like a glass eye six kilometers away, holding the stillness of the region. Whether tending to the land or managing the timber that once defined the economic backbone of these hills, the people of Ditchfield carry a grounded perspective, finding beauty in the stark reliability of the seasons and the unwavering presence of the Rivière Chaudière as it flows toward the sea.
Ditchfield se déploie avec une discrétion minérale sur les flancs de la Montagne de la Croix, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de plonger vers les eaux froides de la Rivière Chaudière. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes, changeant la texture des champs en une étoffe changeante dont la rugosité rappelle le labeur des premiers défricheurs ayant tracé les limites de ce territoire accidenté. À quelques lieues de là, la présence silencieuse du Lac Dubuc influence la fraîcheur des soirées, tandis que l’horizon, marqué par les silhouettes lointaines du Parc national du Mont-Mégantic, confère au paysage une immensité qui domine les humbles habitations. Ditchfield conserve une allure de terre de patience, où chaque sentier semble porter la mémoire des cycles agricoles et des travaux forestiers qui ont façonné cette vallée. Le vent qui descend des hauteurs vient tempérer les ardeurs du jour, balayant les vallons avec une régularité qui rythme les gestes simples de ceux qui habitent ces terres. Ici, la géographie dicte une existence sobre, une harmonie lente entre la rudesse des reliefs et l’intimité des rives, offrant à Ditchfield une identité façonnée par la roche et le courant ininterrompu de la rivière.
