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 Iron Gate.
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.

Iron Gate is a locality in Clarendon; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Iron Gate is located at 45.6919°N, 76.4664°W.
Iron Gate stands as a quiet, rugged prominence within the Rocher d'Alex, defined by the stark, ancient stone that defines this portion of the Pontiac. It lies 10.0 km north-north-east of Shawville, QC (from Shawville, QC: bearing 11°T), and is situated 12.2 km east of Bryson. The terrain here catches the low, amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the uneven ground where Lac McCord rests against the base of the rock. Air at this elevation feels thin and sharp, carrying the scent of damp moss and cooling granite, while the silence of the surrounding woods is broken only by the occasional shift of wind through the dense tree line. Settlement in this corner of Clarendon has long been defined by the stubborn persistence required to work the land and navigate the rocky outcrops. While the Ottawa River remains a distant presence some 18 km away, the local life of Iron Gate stays focused on the immediate, tangible reality of the forest and the small, hidden basins like Lac McCord. The nearby Ottawa River Provincial Park serves as a reminder of the vast, protected wilderness that frames the region, yet the daily existence here remains centered on the modest, practical demands of rural life. Whether through the seasonal cycles of the timber harvest or the quiet maintenance of homesteads, the people of Iron Gate maintain a relationship with the land that is as resilient as the stone itself.
Iron Gate se dessine avec une sobriété minérale au sein du Rocher d'Alex, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle dans le silence des hautes terres du Pontiac. Le Lac McCord borde presque immédiatement les limites de cette enclave, ses eaux paisibles offrant un miroir immobile au ciel changeant de la région. À une distance de dix-huit kilomètres, la rivière Ottawa poursuit son cheminement immuable, tandis que le parc provincial Ottawa River s'étend à vingt kilomètres, ajoutant une vaste étendue sauvage à cet horizon dégagé. L'histoire de Iron Gate s'est construite sur la rudesse du sol et la persévérance des premiers colons, dont le labeur a façonné une identité marquée par une relation directe avec les éléments. Ici, le crépuscule dépose une lumière ambrée sur les reliefs accidentés, soulignant la texture brute de la roche et la densité des boisés environnants. Les traditions locales, transmises par les familles qui occupent ces terres depuis des générations, se perçoivent dans la discrétion des gestes quotidiens et une économie qui respecte le rythme lent des cycles naturels. La présence de Iron Gate demeure un repère singulier pour quiconque parcourt ce terrain exigeant, où la géographie dicte les limites du possible et où chaque sentier révèle une fidélité inébranlable à la rudesse du paysage québécois.

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.
