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 La Babiche.
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.

La Babiche is a locality in Notre-Dame-de-Pontmain; Antoine-Labelle, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Babiche is located at 46.2511°N, 75.7028°W.
La Babiche rests quietly within the embrace of Notre-Dame-de-Pontmain, anchored by the persistent, dark flow of the Rivière du Lièvre. It lies 25.5 km east-south-east of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 123°T), and is situated 20.3 km east-north-east of Bouchette. The terrain here holds a heavy, damp stillness, where the low light of late afternoon catches the reeds lining the water’s edge, turning the current into a ribbon of hammered silver. Only a kilometer away, the stillness deepens at Lac Babiche, a body of water that mirrors the sky with a clarity that seems to sharpen the senses. To the north, the Réserve écologique Louis-Zéphirin-Rousseau guards a wilder, more ancient silence, its protected woods standing as a sentinel over the shifting seasons of Antoine-Labelle. The character of La Babiche draws its strength from the proximity of the Rivière du Lièvre, a waterway that once served as the primary vein for the timber trade that defined the early life of the region. Families here maintain a quiet connection to the land, moving through their days with a focus on the seasonal shifts that dictate the harvest and the freeze. Near La Petite Loge, the landscape retains a sense of seclusion, where the history of the settlers remains visible in the endurance of the local homesteads and the clearings carved from the dense forest. Life in La Babiche follows the steady pulse of the river, a place where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of pine and the cold promise of the coming winter.
La Babiche s’étire avec une humble persistance le long des méandres de la Rivière du Lièvre, là où le terrain s’incline doucement sous une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le souffle des pins. Non loin, les eaux calmes du Lac Babiche retiennent les reflets d’un ciel changeant, tandis que la terre, façonnée par des générations de labeur forestier et agricole, conserve la rugosité de ses origines. À quelques lieues de là, la Réserve écologique Louis-Zéphirin-Rousseau veille sur un silence ancien, protégeant des essences fragiles contre l’oubli. La Babiche occupe cet espace frontalier entre la rigueur du bouclier et la souplesse des plaines cultivées, où le vent apporte parfois le parfum résineux des forêts voisines et le murmure des courants. Près de La Petite Loge, les bâtisses rappellent une époque où la patience était la règle, et où chaque famille construisait son existence sur la résilience face aux hivers prolongés. La vie s’y déploie dans une sobriété dépouillée de tout artifice, portée par le rythme lent des eaux qui descendent vers le sud. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas au premier regard mais se mérite par une attention soutenue, dévoilant sa beauté dans l’épure d’un crépuscule qui embrase les rives.
