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 Hemmings Falls.
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.

Hemmings Falls is a hamlet in Drummondville; Drummond, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Hemmings Falls is located at 45.8650°N, 72.4517°W.
Hemmings Falls carves a persistent path through the terrain, where the Rivière Saint-Germain gathers its strength before tumbling over the rock. It lies 3.0 km south-east of Drummondville, QC (from Drummondville, QC: bearing 125°T), and is situated 7.7 km south of Saint-Cyrille-de-Wendover. The water moves with a low, insistent hum, folding over itself in white-frothed layers that catch the pale, silver light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate spray, the land rises toward the La Petite Montagne, where the trees lean inward as if listening to the steady, rhythmic pulse of the current. The air here holds a cool, damp weight, smelling of wet stone and the deep, dark loam that defines the riverbanks. The presence of Hemmings Falls has long dictated the flow of local industry, drawing energy from the descent to power the mills that once defined the horizon of Drummondville. While the clatter of heavy machinery has softened over the decades, the gravity of that labor persists in the solid, unadorned architecture that lines the nearby streets. Lac Woodyatt sits in quiet repose just a short distance away, offering a contrast to the kinetic energy of the river. Life in the shadow of the falls moves with a deliberate, grounded clarity, reflecting a heritage built on the mastery of the landscape and the persistent, flowing demands of the Rivière Saint-Germain.
Hemmings Falls s'étire avec une humilité tranquille près de La Petite Montagne, là où la lumière déclinante du jour caresse doucement les berges de la Rivière Saint-Germain. Le courant, nourri par les terres environnantes, imprime un mouvement perpétuel à ce paysage qui garde en mémoire les échos d'une activité industrielle jadis rythmée par la force hydraulique. À six kilomètres de là, le Lac Woodyatt repose dans une immobilité presque minérale, contrastant avec l'effervescence discrète qui anime Hemmings Falls. La terre ici porte les signes d'une ancienne vocation agricole, tandis que l'air, chargé de l'humidité propre aux rives, semble conserver une fraîcheur particulière, celle des matins où la rosée s'attarde sur les herbes hautes. Les habitants perçoivent encore le passage des générations dans le dessin des routes et la disposition des bâtisses, éléments qui structurent le quotidien loin de toute agitation inutile. Dans ce cadre où la nature et le labeur humain se croisent sans heurt, le ciel se teinte de nuances cendrées, offrant une clarté limpide aux eaux de la Rivière Saint-Germain. Chaque détail de ce relief, de la courbe du terrain aux silences qui entourent le Lac Woodyatt, définit une existence simple, tournée vers la terre et les usages persistants qui font la singularité de ce coin de pays.

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.
