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 Kingsmere.
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.

Kingsmere is a resort area in Chelsea; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Kingsmere is located at 45.4908°N, 75.8419°W.
Kingsmere sits nestled within the rugged, quiet embrace of the Mont Fortune, where the earth rises in firm, ancient ridges to meet the sky. It lies 12.4 km north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 304°T), and is situated 8.1 km south-west of Cantley. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp cedar and cooling stone as the light at dusk turns the shadows of the hills into deep, bruised purples. Though the Rivière Gatineau flows six kilometers away and the waters of Lac Kingsmere rest nearby at a distance of one kilometer, the land itself feels anchored by the stillness of the surrounding forest. The terrain climbs with a persistent, stubborn grace, shaping a landscape that feels less like a map and more like a breath held in anticipation. History clings to the slopes of Kingsmere, where the echoes of past summers linger in the cool breeze that rolls down from the higher ground. People here move with a deliberate purpose, balancing the quiet demands of a rural life against the memory of those who once sought refuge in these hills to escape the noise of the capital. While Chaudière Falls thunders twelve kilometers away, the sound of that distant water never reaches this sheltered pocket, leaving the local atmosphere defined by the soft crunch of pine needles and the rustle of leaves. Life in Kingsmere remains defined by the changing seasons, a cycle of cold winters and vibrant, green growth that demands a sturdy patience from those who call these slopes home.
Kingsmere s’étire avec une discrétion presque minérale sur les hauteurs du Mont Fortune, là où le relief sculpte des replis de terre propices à la contemplation. À cette latitude, la lumière décline avec une lenteur particulière, venant caresser les crêtes avant de plonger vers les terres basses. Le Lac Kingsmere, situé à seulement un kilomètre, retient le ciel dans ses eaux calmes, offrant un miroir immobile aux arbres qui ponctuent les environs. Bien que la Rivière Gatineau coule à environ six kilomètres, son souffle semble porter jusqu’ici une fraîcheur végétale, tandis que le grondement lointain des chutes Chaudière, distantes de douze kilomètres, se devine parfois dans la vibration du vent. Kingsmere conserve une allure de refuge, portée par une histoire faite de labeur agricole et de villégiature estivale, où les demeures se nichent contre le flanc des collines comme pour mieux écouter le silence. Le terrain, accidenté et généreux, dicte une cadence de vie apaisée aux habitants. Ici, le quotidien suit le rythme des ombres qui s’allongent sur les sentiers, rappelant que chaque pierre et chaque courbe du terrain possèdent leur propre mémoire, une présence silencieuse qui définit la singularité de ce paysage québécois.
