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 Fassett.
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.

Fassett is a municipality in Fassett; Papineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Fassett is located at 45.6458°N, 74.8695°W.
Fassett rests in a quiet fold of the land, defined by the steady, dark presence of the Colline Avery and the persistent currents of the Rivière Saumon. It lies 21.2 km west-north-west of Hawkesbury, QC (from Hawkesbury, QC: bearing 281°T), and is situated 5.5 km east of Montebello. The air here holds a particular weight, carrying the damp, metallic scent of the river as it moves toward the horizon, while the light at dusk clings to the slopes of the Colline Avery, turning the shadows into deep pools of indigo. Beyond the immediate reach of the houses, the terrain shifts toward the stillness of Lac Côté, tucked away a few kilometers into the rising ground, and the hidden rush of the Chutes à Pesant, where the water breaks against the stone in a constant, low-frequency hum. Even the wider region feels distant, with the expansive Parc national de Plaisance sitting far enough away to leave Fassett to its own sheltered gravity. Life in Fassett has long been shaped by the intersection of forest and field, where the industry of the past—logging and the movement of timber along the waterways—left a quiet imprint on the way the houses are spaced and the roads are laid. The economy maintains a modest, self-reliant character, favoring the slow accumulation of seasonal work and land stewardship over the frantic pace of larger hubs. Residents often find themselves listening for the seasonal shifts in the Rivière Saumon, which dictates the pulse of the village as surely as the coming of winter. There is a distinct, grounded satisfaction in the local habit of watching the weather move across the hills, a practice that anchors the day in the physical realities of the terrain rather than the abstraction of the clock.
Fassett s’étire avec une humilité tranquille le long des berges de la Rivière Saumon, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous l’ombre bienveillante de la Colline Avery. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose une patine dorée, révélant les aspérités d’un relief façonné par des générations qui ont appris à lire le sol et les courants. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Côté miroite dans un silence minéral, tandis que le murmure des Chutes à Pesant ponctue la quiétude des terres environnantes. L’histoire de Fassett se lit dans la persistance des labours et la silhouette des bâtiments qui ont vu passer les rigueurs du climat, gardant en mémoire l’élan des pionniers qui ont bâti sur ce terreau fertile. L’air y est chargé d’une humidité fine, une promesse de fraîcheur qui descend des hauteurs pour envelopper les champs et les bois. Bien que le Parc national de Plaisance se situe à une distance plus éloignée, son influence sur la biodiversité imprègne les horizons, rappelant la proximité des grands espaces. Chaque journée à Fassett se déroule selon un rythme lent, calqué sur la course du soleil et la patience des eaux, offrant à ceux qui l’habitent une existence simple, où la rudesse du travail côtoie une beauté austère, presque secrète, qui ne demande qu’à être reconnue.

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.
