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 Goldwin.
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.

Goldwin is a hamlet in Litchfield; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Goldwin is located at 45.7761°N, 76.6408°W.
Goldwin rests within the rugged, ancient rise of the Montagne à Chevalier, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the Canadian Shield. It lies 10.5 km south-east of Fort-Coulonge, QC (from Fort-Coulonge, QC: bearing 134°T), and is situated 11.0 km north of Bryson. The terrain here is defined by sharp granite outcrops and dense woodland, a landscape that demands a measured approach to the day. Nearby, the Crique à Bernard carves its path through the stone, providing a persistent, low-frequency hum that anchors the silence of the woods. To the north, the waters of Lac Jenny mirror the shifting grey-blue of the sky, while the distant roar of McKay Chutes serves as a reminder of the water’s relentless energy. When the light hits the valley at dusk, the shadows deepen against the slopes, turning the rock faces into silhouettes that seem to watch over the quiet activity of the region. A short distance away, the boundaries of Ottawa River Provincial Park offer a stretch of protected wilderness that dictates the pace of life, keeping the surrounding hills quiet and largely untouched by the noise of modern industry. Goldwin emerged from the hard necessity of frontier labor, shaped by those who looked at the dense timber and the stubborn soil and saw a future worth carving out. The local economy in Litchfield has long leaned into the land, drawing sustenance from forestry and small-scale agriculture that respects the seasonal temperament of the Pontiac. Life in Goldwin maintains an understated character, marked by the practical habits of people who know how to work with their hands and respect the permanence of the surrounding geography. There is a specific, bracing quality to the air here, sharpened by the proximity of the river and the cooling influence of the highlands. Traditions in the region are often informal, built around the turn of the seasons and the simple, reliable patterns of rural existence, ensuring that Goldwin remains a persistent, quiet presence amidst the vast, enduring terrain of the province.
Goldwin s'étire avec une discrétion minérale sur les hauteurs de la Montagne à Chevalier, là où le sol semble retenir la mémoire des premières occupations forestières du Pontiac. L'air y possède une netteté particulière, tranchant sur le relief accidenté, tandis que la lumière déclinante du soir enveloppe les pentes d'une teinte dorée qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. À quelques kilomètres, le murmure de la Crique à Bernard accompagne la solitude des bois, rejoignant dans cette géographie intime la présence apaisante du Lac Jenny. Non loin de ces eaux tranquilles, le grondement lointain des McKay Chutes rappelle la force indomptée de la nature, un contraste saisissant avec la quiétude des terres environnantes. Vers l'est, les limites du parc provincial Ottawa River dessinent une frontière protectrice pour cette nature sauvage qui façonne encore aujourd'hui le quotidien des habitants. Goldwin entretient un rapport singulier avec cet horizon escarpé, hérité d'une tradition de labeur où la terre et la roche dictent leur propre rythme aux activités humaines. Ici, la rudesse du climat et la fermeté du terrain forgent une identité austère et fière, laissant aux visiteurs le sentiment d'avoir pénétré dans un espace où le silence de la forêt domine les agitations du monde moderne.
