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 Eccles Hill.
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.

Eccles Hill is a hamlet in Frelighsburg; Brome-Missisquoi, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Eccles Hill is located at 45.0172°N, 72.9058°W.
Eccles Hill rises with a quiet, stubborn prominence above the rolling fields of Frelighsburg in Brome-Missisquoi. It lies 42.1 km south-east of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC (from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC: bearing 139°T), and is situated 13.2 km south-south-east of Bedford. The land here holds a particular stillness, a weight of earth that seems to accumulate in the hollows as the long shadows of late afternoon climb the slopes. Nearby, the Rivière aux Brochets traces a deliberate path through the lowlands some 5 km away, its movement a constant, hidden pulse against the stillness of the fields. Further out, the terrain shifts toward the proximity of Chutes Hunter, which lie 6 km distant, and the distant, reflective surface of Étang Pell, resting 11 km from the base of the rise. The air across Eccles Hill carries a crisp, lingering dampness that clings to the grasses long after the dew has vanished, marking the seasons with a slow, exacting precision. History clings to the slopes of Eccles Hill, recalling the days when the borderlands were marked by shifting loyalties and the sudden necessity of defense. The local economy persists in the quiet labor of the soil, where orchards and small-scale farms define the daily movement of the people, turning the cycle of harvest into a way of life. Life in this corner of Quebec follows the turn of the light, favoring the steady, predictable demands of the seasons over the haste of the wider world. Whether looking toward the hidden course of the Rivière aux Brochets or observing the way the autumn frost settles upon the high ground, the character of the region is defined by a sense of permanence that outlasts the brief intensity of any single generation.
Eccles Hill s'élève avec une discrétion altière au-dessus des terres fertiles de Brome-Missisquoi, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder plus longuement sur les pentes de la Colline Fox. Le relief se déploie dans une patience minérale, offrant aux regards la ligne de crête où, jadis, l'histoire a laissé ses traces lors d'escarmouches frontalières, transformant cette élévation en un témoin silencieux des tensions d'autrefois. La vie domestique s'organise ici selon le rythme des travaux agricoles, tandis que le souffle de l'air transporte les échos lointains de la Rivière aux Brochets qui serpente à quelques lieues de là. La topographie est marquée par une géologie ancienne, façonnée par les glaciations qui ont creusé les vallées avoisinantes, incluant la proximité des Chutes Hunter dont le fracas se devine par temps calme. Les habitants veillent sur ces espaces avec une ferveur simple, observant les reflets changeants sur la surface immobile de l'Étang Pell qui ponctue le paysage un peu plus loin dans la vallée. Eccles Hill demeure ainsi une terre de contrastes, où le travail de la terre rencontre une mémoire collective qui refuse de s'effacer, portée par le vent qui balaie les champs et les vergers de cette région singulière.

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.
