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 Jarnac.
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.

Jarnac is a hamlet in Mulgrave-et-Derry; Papineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Jarnac is located at 45.7836°N, 75.2339°W.
Jarnac rests quietly against the rugged slopes of the Colline Avery, a landscape defined by deep woods and the patient endurance of the Canadian Shield. It lies 52.8 km west-north-west of Hawkesbury, QC (from Hawkesbury, QC: bearing 292°T), and is situated 15.0 km west-north-west of Saint-André-Avellin. The air here holds a crisp, mineral edge, especially as evening light settles over the nearby Lac de la Perchaude, turning the surface into a mirror for the surrounding spruce and pine. While the Rivière d'Inlet winds its way through the lower reaches some 7 km distant, the terrain remains dominated by the granite bones of the earth, rising and falling in sharp, silent gestures. Further out, the roar of the Chutes à Joubert echoes through the valley 11 km away, providing a constant, low-frequency pulse to the wilder reaches of the region. Even at a distance of 22 km, the presence of Parc national de Plaisance influences the local atmosphere, drawing the eye toward the horizon where the land softens and opens toward the water. Life in Jarnac turns on the quiet labor of those who know how to work with stone, timber, and the seasonal shifts of the Papineau woods. Historical patterns of settlement here focused on the extraction of resources and the slow clearing of homesteads, leaving behind a character that values self-reliance and the simple weight of a day’s work. The economy remains rooted in these traditional rhythms, where the community maintains a steady, deliberate pace that ignores the frantic speed of the urban world. Neighbors acknowledge one another with a brief nod or a wave, a custom born from years of sharing the same narrow roads and the same unpredictable winters. In the stillness of the morning, Jarnac feels like a place that has reached a comfortable understanding with its environment, existing not in opposition to the wilderness but as a small, sturdy participant in its long, slow life.
Jarnac s'étire sur les terres accidentées de Mulgrave-et-Derry, où la lumière du crépuscule accroche les reliefs de la Colline Avery pour y déposer une lueur cuivrée. La topographie impose ici un rythme lent, dicté par le voisinage immédiat du Lac de la Perchaude, dont les eaux calmes semblent absorber le silence des bois environnants. Plus loin, à quelques lieues, le courant de la Rivière d'Inlet sculpte le sol, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes à Joubert ponctue l'horizon de cette contrée. L'histoire de Jarnac demeure liée à la rudesse du terrain et aux efforts des défrichements anciens, une économie façonnée par l'exploitation forestière et une agriculture patiente, forcée de composer avec les roches et les pentes. À mesure que l'ombre s'allonge vers le Parc national de Plaisance, les habitants perçoivent la respiration du paysage qui se refroidit. La vie quotidienne y suit une cadence intérieure, héritée de ceux qui ont su apprivoiser ce sol exigeant, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. Chaque sentier, chaque clairière porte la marque de cette ténacité silencieuse, offrant aux regards une beauté austère, presque minérale, qui définit la solitude sereine de ce territoire 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.
