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 Franklin.
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.

Franklin is a municipality in Franklin; Le Haut-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Franklin is located at 45.0291°N, 73.9250°W.
Franklin sits nestled against the quiet rise of the Coteau de la Rivière La Guerre, where the air holds a cool, damp clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon. It lies 29.9 km south-south-east of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC (from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC: bearing 147°T), and is situated 12.2 km south-south-east of Ormstown. The earth here carries a heavy, fertile patience, stretching out in fields that drink the low, amber light of the setting sun until the shadows of the slopes grow long and thin. While the Rivière Châteauguay flows with a steady, deliberate pulse some distance away, the land around Franklin retains a hushed stillness, broken only by the occasional passage of wind through the tall grasses. Even the distant presence of Le Gouffre exerts a strange, gravitational pull on the imagination, grounding the local terrain in a geography of hidden depths and ancient, weathered stone. The economy of Franklin draws its strength from the cycles of the soil, with generations of families tending to the orchards and harvests that define the local character. Life in Franklin moves with the predictable, necessary motions of agricultural seasons, where the work of the hands remains the primary measure of the day. Traditions here are kept in the quiet maintenance of fences and the seasonal gathering of crops, practices that honor the endurance of those who first settled this patch of the Haut-Saint-Laurent. The people of Franklin find a deep, unspoken satisfaction in the persistence of their labor, ensuring that the identity of the land remains clear, honest, and unadorned.
Franklin déploie ses terres fertiles sous une lumière de fin de journée qui adoucit les contours du Coteau de la Rivière La Guerre, là où le sol semble conserver la mémoire des labeurs agricoles. Le relief, d'une sobriété paisible, s'étire dans une quiétude que seul interrompt le bruissement du vent dans les vergers, piliers d'une économie façonnée par les cycles de la pomme et la persévérance des familles établies. À une douzaine de kilomètres, la Rivière Châteauguay poursuit son cours immuable, tandis qu'à peine plus loin, le Gouffre ajoute une note de mystère géologique à ce paysage ordonné. Franklin cultive une identité où la rigueur du travail de la terre rencontre une élégance discrète, celle des façades qui observent le passage des heures avec une patience héritée des pionniers. Les habitants habitent ce cadre avec une simplicité qui refuse l'agitation, préférant la constance des récoltes à la vitesse du monde moderne. Chaque chemin rural rappelle une histoire de défrichement et d'attachement au terroir, dessinant une géographie humaine où le ciel, vaste et changeant, domine les champs et les vergers. Ici, la vie se mesure à la patience du fruit mûrissant, dans un équilibre préservé entre les exigences de la culture et la sérénité des espaces ouverts.

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.
