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 Frontenac.
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.

Frontenac is a municipality in Frontenac; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Frontenac is located at 45.5721°N, 70.8303°W.
Frontenac rests deep within the rolling reach of the Montagne de la Croix, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the highlands. It lies 4.1 km east of Lac-Mégantic, QC (from Lac-Mégantic, QC: bearing 93°T), and is situated 30.1 km east-north-east of Franceville. The Rivière Chaudière carves a steady path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, thinning light that descends over the ridges as evening approaches. Nearby, the stillness of Lac de la Belle Saison offers a mirror to the surrounding woods, while the distant, imposing presence of Parc national du Mont-Mégantic defines the horizon line. In the cooling air of late autumn, the earth here smells of damp stone and fallen needles, a scent that seems to rise from the very bones of the hills. The history of Frontenac is marked by the persistent labor of those who cleared the timber to make room for fields and homesteads. Local life remains tied to the cycles of the seasons, with the economy drawing its strength from the productivity of the soil and the careful management of the surrounding timberlands. People here move with a deliberate, grounded purpose, their days organized by the demands of a landscape that does not yield easily to change. Even as the modern world pushes against these borders, Frontenac maintains a character shaped by the endurance of its people and the solitude of the high ground they inhabit.
Frontenac s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les pentes de la Montagne de la Croix, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous la lumière oblique du crépuscule. La Rivière Chaudière serpente à travers ce relief accidenté, dessinant des courbes sombres qui marquent la géographie intime de la région. L'air y possède une fraîcheur singulière, chargée de l'humidité des forêts environnantes et du calme minéral propre aux terres du Granit. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac de la Belle Saison offre un miroir immobile aux arbres qui se courbent vers ses rives, tandis qu’au loin, la silhouette imposante du Parc national du Mont-Mégantic domine l’horizon comme une sentinelle silencieuse. Frontenac conserve la mémoire de ses premiers défricheurs dans la rigueur de ses sols et la ténacité de ses habitants qui, par-delà les aléas climatiques, continuent de lire dans ces vallons une promesse de pérennité. La vie se déploie ici selon un rythme mesuré, dicté par la nature des roches et le passage des eaux, sans autre artifice que la sincérité des saisons. Chaque chemin qui s'enfonce dans le bois rappelle l'attachement viscéral de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence dans le prolongement direct de cette terre rugueuse et généreuse.

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.
