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-Brun.
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-Brun is a resort area in L'Ascension-de-Notre-Seigneur; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Brun is located at 48.7325°N, 71.7219°W.
Lac-Brun rests in a quiet embrace of boreal earth near the Côte du Côtoyage, where the water mirrors the shifting moods of the sky. It lies 20.9 km north-north-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 346°T), and is situated 11.2 km north of Saint-Cœur-de-Marie. The stillness of Lac-Brun finds its counterpoint in the nearby Rivière Péribonka, which pulls steadily toward the horizon, carving a path through the ancient, resistant stone. When the afternoon light slants low, the surface of the water thickens with a golden, metallic luster, turning the surrounding timber into dark silhouettes that stand watch over the basin. Life near Lac-Brun maintains a sturdy connection to the land, shaped by the cyclical demands of a climate that knows both the biting grip of winter and the sudden, verdant rush of spring. Residents look toward the distant Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon as a reminder of the vast, protected wilderness that defines the regional character. The economy here remains rooted in the resilience of the forest and the pull of the currents, drawing strength from a heritage that values endurance over haste. Even as the modern world turns elsewhere, the quietude of the shoreline holds the attention of those who live within the reach of the Rivière Péribonka, finding beauty in the stark, honest clarity of the north.
Lac-Brun se déploie dans une quiétude minérale, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière boréale qui s'étire en longueurs d'ambre sur les rives de la Rivière Péribonka. À proximité immédiate de la Côte du Côtoyage, les eaux calmes de Lac-Brun captent les reflets d'un ciel vaste, offrant une sérénité que seul le bruissement du vent dans les conifères vient parfois troubler. La topographie des environs, marquée par une rudesse élégante, rappelle la persévérance des hommes qui ont su apprivoiser ces sols, transformant les abords sauvages en terres cultivées par une obstination silencieuse. À une distance mesurée, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon étend ses horizons, rappelant aux visiteurs la grandeur d'une nature qui ne se laisse jamais totalement dompter par l'activité humaine. L'air y est vif, chargé de cette fraîcheur particulière qui précède les crépuscules prolongés, enveloppant chaque demeure d'une atmosphère feutrée. En observant le mouvement lent de la Rivière Péribonka, on devine le rythme immuable d'une vie rythmée par les travaux agricoles et le respect profond pour ce cadre naturel qui définit l'identité même de Lac-Brun, une entité géographique dont la beauté discrète demeure la signature la plus fidèle.
