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 Ellard.
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.

Ellard is a locality in Messines; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ellard is located at 46.2242°N, 76.0397°W.
Ellard rests within the rugged, forested expanse of La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, where the land rises in quiet, sturdy ridges. It lies 17.3 km south-south-west of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 195°T), and is situated 6.8 km west-north-west of Bouchette. Lac Grant lies tucked into the terrain just 1 km from the heart of the settlement, its surface often mirroring the heavy, slate-colored clouds that drift over the Canadian Shield. Nearby, the Rivière Gatineau carves a path through the valley approximately 7 km away, its presence felt in the cool, damp air that settles over the trees at dusk. The light here has a way of lingering, turning the needles of spruce and pine into silhouettes against a pale, cooling sky as the day exhales its warmth. The history of Ellard finds its roots in the hard work of those who cleared the timber and broke the earth to sustain a life in the north. While Réserve écologique du Père-Louis-Marie remains a protected sanctuary some 16 km away, the surrounding land continues to support a lifestyle defined by forestry and the seasonal cycles of the woods. People in Ellard maintain a steady pace, moving with the practical knowledge of those who understand the temper of the winters and the brief, bright intensity of the summer growing season. The stillness of the morning is rarely broken, save for the distant, metallic ring of a woodstove or the low hum of machinery moving along the backroads to reach the timber stands.
Ellard s'étend dans une quiétude singulière, là où le relief façonne une terre de patience et de labeur historique. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Grant offre ses eaux sombres aux brumes matinales, miroir immobile d'un horizon sans cesse redessiné par le passage des vents forestiers. La Rivière Gatineau serpente à sept kilomètres de là, imposant son rythme lent à ce paysage façonné par une rudesse climatique qui exige des habitants une présence constante et attentive. Plus loin, la Réserve écologique du Père-Louis-Marie protège une biodiversité intacte, gardienne silencieuse de l'héritage sylvestre qui entoure Ellard. L'histoire du lieu, liée aux exploitations forestières et aux terres agricoles aux sols exigeants, transparaît dans la sobriété des structures et la persévérance des familles qui habitent ces parcelles. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse avec lenteur sur le terrain accidenté, révélant la texture minérale des affleurements rocheux et le vert profond des conifères qui dominent le regard. La vie quotidienne suit la cadence des éléments naturels, chaque geste semblant répondre aux besoins d'une terre dont la beauté austère se mérite, loin des agitations urbaines, dans le silence dense d'une nature qui reprend toujours ses droits sur les chemins tracés par les hommes.

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.
