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 Joy Hill.
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.

Joy Hill is a locality in Frelighsburg; Brome-Missisquoi, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Joy Hill is located at 45.0461°N, 72.8139°W.
Joy Hill rises with a quiet, unassuming prominence above the fertile lowlands of Frelighsburg. It lies 39.8 km south of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 190°T), and is situated 16.0 km east-south-east of Bedford. The terrain here is shaped by the proximity of the Colline Spruce, which catches the first amber light of morning before it spills across the slopes. Below, the Rivière aux Brochets moves through the valley with a persistent, low-voiced clarity, carving a path that has long defined the local topography. At dusk, the air grows heavy and cool, settling into the hollows with a stillness that makes the distant, rhythmic rush of Chutes Hunter sound like a deep, singular breath. The history of Joy Hill mirrors the agricultural endurance of the Brome-Missisquoi region, where the land has been shaped by generations of settlers who favored the valley’s rich, dark soil. While Étang Pell remains a secluded, glassy anchor for local wildlife in the surrounding woods, the economy of the immediate vicinity stays rooted in small-scale cultivation and the seasonal cycles of the harvest. Life in Joy Hill maintains a sturdy, practical character, reflecting a heritage defined more by the labor of the seasons than by the fleeting pace of modernity. Even now, the sound of the wind through the trees near the Rivière aux Brochets carries a sense of permanence, marking the days as they pass over the fields.
Joy Hill se dresse avec une humilité certaine sur les terres vallonnées de Brome-Missisquoi, là où la lumière déclinante du soir caresse les ondulations du relief avec une douceur presque palpable. À proximité, les eaux de la Rivière aux Brochets poursuivent leur course tranquille, rythmant le quotidien de ce secteur agricole où le silence semble habiter chaque repli du terrain. La silhouette de la Colline Spruce domine les environs, offrant un repère immuable aux habitations qui s'éparpillent dans les champs alentour. À quelques kilomètres, le murmure des Chutes Hunter vient troubler la quiétude de l'air, tandis que l'Étang Pell dissimule ses reflets sombres sous le couvert végétal. L'histoire de Joy Hill se lit dans la texture même du sol et dans la persistance de ces fermes qui, depuis des générations, cultivent une relation étroite avec les cycles naturels. L'atmosphère y demeure empreinte d'une sérénité particulière, portée par le vent qui circule librement entre les hauteurs et les passages d'eau. Les habitants de Joy Hill connaissent le poids de ces terres fertiles, façonnées par une longue tradition de labeur qui se perpétue, discrète et solide, loin de l'agitation des grands centres.
