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 Fossambault-sur-le-Lac.
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.

Fossambault-sur-le-Lac is a town in Fossambault-sur-le-Lac; La Jacques-Cartier, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Fossambault-sur-le-Lac is located at 46.8683°N, 71.6202°W.
Fossambault-sur-le-Lac rests within a sheltered basin, defined by the rise of the Colline Stony Ridge and the persistent, cool flow of the Rivière Ontaritzi. It lies 23.5 km north-north-east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 22°T), and is situated 13.6 km north-north-east of Pont-Rouge. The weight of the afternoon sun settles heavily upon the water, where the surface tension of the Rivière Ontaritzi seems to hold the sky captive until the shadows of the Colline Stony Ridge stretch long and dark across the shoreline. Beyond the immediate reach of the bank, the landscape retains a quiet, rugged endurance, with the distant Lac Jaune tucked away about 3 km from the center of the settlement. Life in Fossambault-sur-le-Lac follows the shifting temperament of the seasons, moving from the sharp, brittle clarity of winter air to the humid, insect-humming density of midsummer. Local development in Fossambault-sur-le-Lac reflects a long-standing preference for a residential life that honors the surrounding terrain rather than competing with it. The economy here remains modest and grounded, favoring the preservation of natural vistas over intensive industrial expansion. Residents often mark the passage of time by the changing light upon the woods and the seasonal cycles of the water, maintaining a lifestyle that prioritizes the stillness found at the edge of the Canadian Shield. This focus on the immediate environment keeps the character of Fossambault-sur-le-Lac distinct, as the inhabitants lean into the cooling breeze that drifts down from the higher elevations toward the lower valley reaches.
Fossambault-sur-le-Lac se déploie dans une langueur contemplative, blottie contre le relief affirmé de la Colline Stony Ridge qui semble protéger le silence des terres environnantes. La Rivière Ontaritzi serpente avec une lenteur étudiée à travers ce territoire, offrant ses reflets changeants à la lumière déclinante qui, chaque soir, dépose sur les berges une teinte ambrée presque irréelle. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Jaune ajoute une profondeur minérale à l’horizon, où les eaux calmes dialoguent avec le ciel en une immobilité parfaite. L'histoire de Fossambault-sur-le-Lac s'est construite sur cette intimité avec le milieu, transformant une vocation agricole ancienne en une villégiature où chaque demeure semble épouser les courbes du terrain naturel. L'air, souvent chargé d'une humidité légère et odorante, porte le murmure des feuillus et la fraîcheur constante des zones humides. Les habitants habitent ce paysage avec une retenue pudique, préférant la discrétion des sentiers et la contemplation des perspectives naturelles aux agitations lointaines. Ici, la vie quotidienne se règle sur le mouvement lent de la Rivière Ontaritzi, créant une atmosphère où le présent paraît s'étirer indéfiniment, loin des cadences imposées par l'ailleurs, dans une sérénité que seule la présence constante de la Colline Stony Ridge permet de mesurer.
