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 Dufresne.
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.

Dufresne is a administrative sector in Val-David; Les Laurentides, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Dufresne is located at 46.0333°N, 74.1792°W.
Dufresne rests within the Collines Far, where the land rises in stubborn, granite-shouldered heights above the Rivière du Nord. It lies 31.7 km north-north-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 335°T), and is situated 15.4 km north of Saint-Sauveur. The water of the Rivière du Nord moves with a cold, insistent clarity, carving a path through the dense timber that defines the horizon. Just a kilometer away, Lac Amigo holds the stillness of the afternoon, its surface reflecting the deepening grey of the sky as the air begins to sharpen with the coming frost. The terrain here possesses a tactile gravity, a mixture of heavy stone and rising mist that clings to the valley floor long after the sun has retreated behind the ridges. Dufresne maintains a character shaped by the industry of those who first cleared the timber and harnessed the force of the current. The local economy relies on a quiet resilience, turning away from the frantic pace of larger centers to favor the deliberate work of craft and the seasonal demands of the landscape. Life in Dufresne follows the turning of the light, grounded in the traditions of a region that has long understood how to thrive in the shadow of the hills. People here recognize that the strength of the place lies in its refusal to be hurried, finding value in the steady, recurring tasks that mark the passing of the year.
Dufresne s’étire avec une grâce tranquille parmi les ondulations des Collines Far, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s’attarder davantage sur les feuillages. L’air y possède cette densité fraîche, presque minérale, propre aux terres qui bordent la Rivière du Nord, dont le cours sinueux sculpte le relief avec une lenteur immuable. À une courte distance, les eaux calmes du Lac Amigo ajoutent une note de silence profond au paysage, capturant le reflet des sommets boisés dans une immobilité parfaite. Le terrain, façonné par des siècles de patience géologique, invite à une contemplation silencieuse, loin de l’agitation des grandes plaines, tandis que Dufresne maintient son allure modeste, héritière d’une terre longtemps façonnée par le labeur agricole et la persévérance. Les habitations se dispersent avec une simplicité rustique, s’intégrant aux pentes boisées sans jamais les heurter, comme si le bâti lui-même respectait la géométrie naturelle de ces hauteurs québécoises. Cette présence humaine, discrète et solide, se lie étroitement à la vigueur des éléments environnants, offrant une existence rythmée par le chant des eaux et la respiration des forêts, où chaque journée s’achève sous le regard protecteur des reliefs escarpés qui enserrent ce coin de pays.

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.
