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 Fairfax.
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.

Fairfax is a hamlet in Stanstead-Est; Coaticook, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Fairfax is located at 45.0889°N, 72.0228°W.
Fairfax rests within the quiet, rolling contours of the Eastern Townships, anchored by the presence of the Colline Pinkham. It lies 17.8 km west-south-west of Coaticook, QC (from Coaticook, QC: bearing 254°T), and is situated 8.9 km south-south-east of Ayer's Cliff. The landscape here holds a stillness that deepens as the sun dips behind the rise, casting long, bruised-purple shadows across the fields that stretch toward Étang Peasley. In the cool air of the morning, the light catches the dew on the tall grasses, turning the meadows into a vast, shimmering mirror of the sky. The nearby Rivière Niger pulls the eye toward the horizon, while the distant, rushing energy of Chutes Burroughs serves as a constant, low-frequency hum beneath the silence of the woods. The history of Fairfax is marked by the deliberate, steady persistence of those who first cleared these slopes for pasture and farm. While Parc national du Mont-Orford looms as a reminder of the wilder, protected reaches of the region, Fairfax retains a character defined by its agricultural roots and the modest, sturdy architecture of its homesteads. Life here follows the seasons, moving with the patient cycle of planting and harvest that has long sustained the local economy. On quiet afternoons, the smell of damp earth and woodsmoke drifts through the air, carrying the weight of a heritage that values endurance over haste. Even as the seasons turn and the frost hardens the ground, the people of Fairfax maintain their connection to the land, finding beauty in the stark, honest lines of a landscape that asks for nothing more than respect.
Fairfax s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres de Stanstead-Est, là où la lumière déclinante du jour caresse doucement les pentes souples entourant la Colline Pinkham. Le terrain, façonné par une agriculture patiente, semble retenir le silence des collines environnantes, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une fraîcheur qui annonce souvent le soir, descend des hauteurs pour envelopper les champs. À quelques kilomètres, l'eau calme de l'Étang Peasley miroite sous un ciel immense, offrant un contraste de quiétude face au tumulte lointain des Chutes Burroughs qui grondent avec une persistance minérale. La Rivière Niger, en sinuant paisiblement à travers le relief, trace une frontière naturelle qui guide le regard vers l'horizon où le Parc national du Mont-Orford dessine une silhouette familière, protectrice. Fairfax porte en lui une mémoire faite de labeur agricole et de gestes répétés, une existence liée aux rythmes lents de la terre et des récoltes. Les résidents y cultivent une discrétion presque religieuse, héritière d'une histoire forgée dans le défrichement et la patience des saisons. Chaque sentier, chaque chemin de terre semble murmurer le passé de ces lieux, invitant le voyageur à s'arrêter pour contempler la beauté austère d'un horizon qui ne cherche jamais à se donner en spectacle, mais qui s'impose par sa simple et pure présence.
