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 Lac-Bois-Franc.
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.

Lac-Bois-Franc is a resort area in Déléage; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Bois-Franc is located at 46.3306°N, 75.8597°W.
Lac-Bois-Franc rests with a quiet weight upon the shore of Lac des Trente et Un Milles, where the stillness of the water mirrors the rugged incline of the nearby Montagne des Pères. It lies 10.6 km east-south-east of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 117°T), and is situated 8.0 km south-east of Déléage. The terrain here holds a particular, sharp clarity, especially as the late-day sun catches the granite slopes, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the water’s edge. Beyond the immediate rise of the land, the air carries a crisp, pine-scented chill that seems to intensify as the light fades, grounding the senses in the raw, unadorned geography of the Canadian Shield. The history of Lac-Bois-Franc reflects a long-standing relationship with the surrounding timber and the deep, cold reaches of the region, where life moves according to the demands of the seasons and the land. While the Rivière Gatineau flows six kilometers to the west, its presence defines the broader watershed that has shaped the local way of life for generations. Residents maintain a connection to the wilder stretches of the landscape, including the protected expanse of the Réserve écologique Louis-Zéphirin-Rousseau located eight kilometers away. In the daily routine of those who call this place home, the focus remains on the interplay between the forest and the water, a persistence that defines the character of the settlement more than any industry or modern convenience.
Lac-Bois-Franc s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives apaisées du Lac des Trente et Un Milles, là où le relief se plie aux caprices de la Montagne des Pères. La lumière du soir s'attarde sur les eaux, révélant une clarté limpide qui semble suspendre le souffle du vent dans les pins. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière Gatineau trace un sillage silencieux à travers les terres, tandis que la Réserve écologique Louis-Zéphirin-Rousseau préserve, non loin, le murmure des forêts sauvages. La terre ici garde le souvenir des hommes qui ont appris à lire les saisons dans la rugosité du bois et la patience des récoltes, bâtissant une vie humble entre les escarpements rocheux et les vastes étendues liquides. Dans cette portion de la Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, chaque geste quotidien s'ajuste au rythme lent des marées intérieures du Lac des Trente et Un Milles, perpétuant une tradition de présence discrète face à l'immensité du bois. Lac-Bois-Franc habite ce silence avec une dignité sobre, offrant aux passants la texture d'un sol ancien où l'histoire se raconte par le simple froissement des feuilles et le ressac léger contre les rives, loin de toute agitation artificielle.

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.
