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 Nation.
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 Nation is a hamlet in Saint-André-Avellin; Papineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Nation is located at 45.7872°N, 75.0694°W.
La Nation rests quietly beneath the shadow of Colline Avery, where the land gathers itself into slopes that soften the transition between earth and sky. It lies 41.4 km west-north-west of Hawkesbury, QC (from Hawkesbury, QC: bearing 299°T), and is situated 7.8 km north of Saint-André-Avellin. The Rivière de la Petite Nation winds through this terrain, its currents carrying the cool, persistent breath of the forest toward the distant reaches of the Ottawa Valley. Near the water, the air holds a particular clarity at dusk, turning the surface of Lac des Quatre Chemins into a mirror for the fading light. A few kilometers away, the Chutes à Joubert tumble over stone with a steady, percussive grace, marking the pulse of a landscape that values the quiet persistence of its waterways. Beyond these immediate heights and hollows, the expansive reach of Parc national de Plaisance waits as a reminder of the vast, protected wild that defines the character of the region. The history of La Nation is rooted in the labor of those who cleared these woods and worked the stubborn, fertile soil, leaving a legacy of small-scale agriculture and timber that persists in the shape of the fields today. Daily life here maintains a deliberate focus, with the economy turning on the needs of the land and the modest commerce of the surrounding Saint-André-Avellin. Traditions remain tied to the changing seasons, seen in the way the architecture of the farms stands against the long winters and the sudden, vivid green of spring. Visitors often find that the stillness of the afternoon allows for a deeper appreciation of the geography, where the simple act of walking along the banks of the Rivière de la Petite Nation reveals the enduring strength of the local character.
La Nation déploie ses terres à proximité immédiate de la Colline Avery, là où le relief s’incline doucement vers les eaux de la Rivière de la Petite Nation. Dans cet espace où la lumière décline avec une lenteur particulière, les reflets argentés du Lac des Quatre Chemins, situé à peine à un kilomètre, semblent absorber le silence des après-midis d'été. La terre, nourrie par une tradition agricole tenace, porte encore les traces d'un labeur ancien, tandis que le bruissement des Chutes à Joubert se fait entendre à deux kilomètres, rythmant la course paisible des courants. À une distance de vingt et un kilomètres, le Parc national de Plaisance étend ses horizons, rappelant aux habitants de La Nation la proximité constante d'une nature vaste et préservée. Les journées s'écoulent selon un tempo régi par les cycles de la terre et le passage des vents qui descendent des hauteurs. Entre les parois rocheuses et les vallées verdoyantes, La Nation conserve une identité singulière, forgée par le respect de ses propres limites géographiques et par une fidélité aux paysages qui l'entourent. Ici, le quotidien s'inscrit dans la simplicité des gestes répétés, une existence discrète qui trouve son équilibre dans la permanence des éléments naturels et la quiétude des environs.
