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 Hillhurst.
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.

Hillhurst is a hamlet in Compton; Coaticook, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Hillhurst is located at 45.2022°N, 71.8311°W.
Hillhurst rests with a quiet permanence near the slopes of the Colline Butternut, where the land gathers itself into soft, rising folds of earth. It lies 7.8 km north-north-west of Coaticook, QC (from Coaticook, QC: bearing 345°T), and is situated 9.6 km south-south-east of Waterville. The Rivière Coaticook winds through the lower reaches, its current carrying the brisk, clear scent of stone and cold mountain runoff as it pulls toward the horizon. In the late afternoon, the light settles heavily upon the valley, turning the grasses to a pale, burnished gold that seems to hold the warmth of the day long after the sun has dipped behind the rising ground. While the vastness of Parc national du Mont-Orford waits some distance away, the immediate horizon here feels intimate and contained, defined by the steady presence of the Colline Butternut and the persistent, low song of the river moving over its bed. The history of Hillhurst remains anchored to the agricultural vitality of the surrounding territory, where generations have worked the soil to sustain a life tied to the changing seasons. Local industry finds its expression in these fields and woodlots, maintaining a focus on the land that has defined the character of the inhabitants for decades. Beyond the immediate farms, the broader geography offers a sense of scale, with Lac Cotnoir resting eight kilometers away and the distant, rushing movement of Les Cascades located fifteen kilometers from the heart of the settlement. Life in Hillhurst follows the seasonal turning of the frost and the thaw, characterized by a deliberate, focused attention to the tasks at hand, whether tending to the harvest or preparing for the long, quiet stillness of winter.
Hillhurst s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres fertiles de Compton, là où la lumière déclinante du soir enveloppe la Colline Butternut d’une teinte d’ocre velouté. Les eaux de la Rivière Coaticook serpentent à travers ce relief vallonné, façonnant une topographie que les premiers défricheurs ont marquée de leur labeur persévérant, transformant les forêts denses en pâturages généreux. À mesure que le crépuscule s’installe, l’air frais descend des hauteurs pour se nicher dans les vallées, rappelant la proximité du Lac Cotnoir, dont la présence invisible semble apaiser le souffle du vent. Loin des tumultes, Hillhurst préserve une cadence de vie dictée par la terre et le rythme des récoltes, tandis que le regard porte au loin vers les cimes du Parc national du Mont-Orford, dont la silhouette bleutée se dessine contre l’horizon. Si l’on s’aventure vers les sentiers escarpés menant vers Les Cascades, le tumulte cristallin de l’eau rappelle la force brute d’une nature indomptée qui, depuis des générations, soutient l’économie agricole de la région. Cette terre porte en elle une dignité simple, faite de fermes éparpillées et de chemins de terre qui conservent la mémoire des ancêtres, offrant aux passants le silence profond d’un paysage qui se suffit à lui-même.
