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 Hemison.
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.

Hemison is a hamlet in Saint-Malachie; Bellechasse, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Hemison is located at 46.5114°N, 70.7411°W.
Hemison rests quietly within the undulating terrain of Saint-Malachie, defined by the persistent presence of the Rivière Etchemin. It lies 22.9 km east-north-east of Sainte-Marie, QC (from Sainte-Marie, QC: bearing 69°T), and is situated 14.4 km south-south-west of Saint-Damien-de-Buckland. The landscape near Hemison is characterized by a rugged, wooded character that feels ancient, particularly as the evening light catches the dark, mineral-rich earth near the Pic Rond. Beyond the immediate banks of the Rivière Etchemin, the geography opens toward the wider region where Lac à Dion sits nestled in the greenery some 4 kilometers distant. Further afield, the landscape reveals the power of moving water at Chutes Rouillard, located 20 kilometers away, while the protected expanse of the Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon lies within a 25-kilometer radius. Hemison maintains a stillness that reflects the surrounding hills, where the air often carries the crisp, damp scent of spruce and stone. The history of Hemison is rooted in the hard-won efforts of those who cleared the timber to establish a foothold in the Bellechasse region. Life here has long been dictated by the seasonal demands of the land, with an economy traditionally supported by forestry and small-scale agriculture that persists in the quiet corners of the valley. Local traditions remain modest and private, centering on the seasonal harvests and the maintenance of the homesteads that dot the landscape. In the quiet hours of the morning, Hemison reveals a distinct clarity of atmosphere, where the silence is broken only by the shifting of wind through the trees or the distant, steady rush of the Rivière Etchemin.
Hemison se déploie avec une retenue silencieuse sur les terres hautes de Bellechasse, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur particulière sur les pentes de Pic Rond. La Rivière Etchemin trace son sillage parmi les champs, imposant une cadence ancienne au relief qui s'incline doucement vers ses rives. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Dion conserve une immobilité minérale sous le ciel changeant, tandis que la présence plus lointaine des Chutes Rouillard et de la Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon souligne l'étendue sauvage qui ceinture ces espaces habités. Les résidents de Hemison connaissent bien cette terre froide, façonnée par les cycles agricoles et la rudesse du climat qui exige une vigilance constante. L'air y possède une texture dense, chargée d'une humidité qui monte des eaux courantes pour envelopper les structures en bois et les chemins de terre. Ici, le quotidien s'ajuste aux variations du terrain, les journées se succédant dans une sobriété qui rappelle les racines tenaces de ceux qui ont défriché ces lopins. Dans cet isolement bienveillant, chaque foyer maintient un lien tacite avec la géographie immédiate, acceptant que la nature domine les ambitions humaines. Hemison demeure ainsi, suspendu dans son propre temps, entre les replis sombres du paysage et la persistance tranquille de ses horizons.
