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 L'Alligator.
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.

L'Alligator is a locality in Lac-Nilgaut; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. L'Alligator is located at 46.5617°N, 77.2328°W.
L'Alligator rests in a rugged, sequestered corner of Pontiac, where the land rises in stubborn, granite-heavy swells toward the shadow of the Montagne des Loups. It lies 58.6 km north-north-east of Deep River, QC (from Deep River, QC: bearing 14°T), and is situated 39.0 km east-north-east of Board Dam. The earth here holds a sharp, resinous scent, especially when the light of dusk catches the needles of spruce and pine, turning the horizon a deep, bruised violet. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Gagnon offers a mirror to the sky, its surface rarely broken except by the sudden, silver strike of a rising fish. While the Rivière Noire carves its path some eight kilometers away, the immediate terrain around L'Alligator feels compressed and watchful, defined by the slow endurance of rock and the persistence of the northern forest. Life in L'Alligator moves with the seasonal demands of the bush, a quiet persistence that has defined this territory for generations. The economy remains bound to the cycles of timber and the careful harvest of the woods, echoing older traditions of survival in the Lac-Nilgaut backlands. Residents carry the habits of the interior, favoring a steady, functional approach to the landscape where the work of the day leaves little room for pretense. Even now, the cold carries a specific, metallic weight, reminding those who stay that L'Alligator exists on its own terms, far from the reach of urban sprawl.
L'Alligator s'étire avec une patience minérale sous le ciel changeant du Pontiac, là où la lumière du soir se dépose sur les roches anciennes avec une douceur presque liquide. À proximité, le Lac Gagnon étend sa surface miroitante, capturant les dernières lueurs orangées qui semblent suspendre le mouvement du monde, tandis que la présence tutélaire de la Montagne des Loups impose un silence grave à l'horizon. L'air, chargé d'une fraîcheur qui descend des hauteurs, porte en lui le souvenir des forêts denses et le murmure lointain de la Rivière Noire, laquelle serpente à travers le terrain accidenté pour rejoindre les terres basses. Dans ce cadre où la terre se fait rude et sauvage, L'Alligator maintient une existence discrète, liée aux rythmes lents de la nature et à la solidité des sols granitiques. Les rares sentiers qui sillonnent ces reliefs racontent une histoire faite de labeur et d'adaptation aux rigueurs climatiques, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. Chaque pierre, chaque ombre portée par les pins à la tombée du jour, souligne la solitude fière de ce territoire où le regard se perd, sans entrave, dans l'immensité sereine de l'arrière-pays 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.
Location data for L'Alligator is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
