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 Foster.
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.

Foster is a village in Lac-Brome; Brome-Missisquoi, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Foster is located at 45.2897°N, 72.4944°W.
Foster sits tucked within the quiet embrace of the Eastern Townships, where the land yields to the gentle pull of the Rivière Yamaska. It lies 21.5 km south-east of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 124°T), and is situated 12.3 km east-south-east of Bromont. The air here holds a particular clarity at dusk, when the light turns thin and cool, catching the edges of the fields that stretch toward the Colline Methodist. While Lac Brome rests only 5 km away and the vast expanse of Parc national de la Yamaska lies 18 km distant, the immediate horizon of Foster is defined by the steady, persistent flow of the river and the modest rise of the surrounding terrain. It is a landscape that demands a patient eye, where the changing seasons dictate the turning of the soil and the slow darkening of the woods. The history of Foster is tied to the movement of water and the necessity of industry, having long served as a junction where the labor of the land met the reach of the rail. Today, the economy of Foster maintains a quiet dignity, balancing the remnants of its agricultural past with the steady persistence of its local residents. Life in Foster flows with the gravity of the nearby river, a place where the daily chores of maintenance and harvest take precedence over the rush of the modern world. The presence of the Colline Methodist serves as a silent anchor, reminding all who pass that the character of the place is built upon continuity and the slow, deliberate work of generations.
Foster s'éveille sous une lumière oblique, là où les pentes de la Colline Methodist descendent doucement vers les méandres de la Rivière Yamaska. Ce secteur, autrefois marqué par l'effervescence des gares et le labeur agricole, conserve une dignité tranquille dans le mouvement lent de ses eaux. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Brome étend son miroir immobile, tandis que le Parc national de la Yamaska demeure une présence lointaine, offrant une respiration sauvage à l'horizon. L'air y possède cette densité particulière des terres basses, un souffle humide qui accompagne le passage des heures sur les chemins de Foster. Les anciennes structures industrielles et les demeures héritées d'une époque de prospérité ferroviaire composent une architecture sobre, presque austère, rappelant la ténacité des bâtisseurs face aux rigueurs du climat. Ici, le quotidien s'écoule avec la précision d'un geste répété, une fidélité aux horizons familiers que seule une terre façonnée par la patience peut engendrer. Entre la terre ferme et le courant de la rivière, Foster préserve une identité singulière, une persistance qui se lit dans la pierre des fondations et dans le silence qui s'installe lorsque le soleil décline derrière les ondulations du relief.

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.
