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 Bouée-Gagnon.
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 Bouée-Gagnon is a locality in Montcerf-Lytton; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Bouée-Gagnon is located at 46.7433°N, 76.0097°W.
La Bouée-Gagnon rests against the quiet, expansive edge of Réservoir Baskatong, where the land meets the water in a long, deliberate embrace. It lies 41.1 km north of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 357°T), and is situated 26.9 km north of Bois-Franc. Here, the Rivière Gatineau exerts a steady influence on the character of the soil, keeping the earth damp and the air cool even as the summer sun reaches its zenith. The light at dusk settles over the water in heavy, metallic sheets, turning the surface of the reservoir into a mirror that reflects nothing but the darkening silhouettes of the treeline. About 10 km away, the protected expanse of Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain guards a different, wilder silence, standing as a stark contrast to the small, purposeful clearings where human life persists along the shore. The history of La Bouée-Gagnon is marked by the enduring presence of the timber industry and the seasonal shifts of a landscape defined by its waterways. Local life moves in alignment with the reservoir, where the economy still leans into the rhythms of forestry and the quiet influx of those who seek the solitude of the northern woods. People here carry the stillness of the trees in their movements, an inheritance from generations who learned to navigate the thick brush and the unpredictable currents of the Rivière Gatineau. Even as modern demands change the pace of the surrounding region, the daily existence in La Bouée-Gagnon retains a sharp, clear focus on the necessities of the climate and the immediate, physical demands of the terrain.
La Bouée-Gagnon s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives du Réservoir Baskatong, là où les eaux vastes et froides semblent retenir le souffle du jour déclinant. À proximité, le courant de la Rivière Gatineau dicte un rythme lent, presque impalpable, façonnant le relief de Montcerf-Lytton sous une lumière qui s'attarde volontiers sur les écorces et les roches anciennes. Non loin de là, la présence de la Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain protège un silence végétal, une densité de fougères et d'arbres qui murmurent leur indifférence aux agitations humaines. La Bouée-Gagnon conserve ce caractère des terres forestières où le labeur de la terre et la rudesse du climat ont sculpté des existences simples, tournées vers la patience des éléments plutôt que vers l'éclat des grandes cités. Il émane de ce paysage une clarté particulière, celle des aubes qui percent la brume sur le Réservoir Baskatong, révélant une étendue où le ciel et la terre se frôlent sans bruit. Les jours s'y succèdent avec une régularité apaisante, entre la mémoire des travaux sylvicoles et l'immensité de la nature sauvage qui borde chaque chemin, offrant à celui qui s'y attarde le sentiment d'une appartenance profonde à cette terre du Québec.
