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-Desmarais.
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-Desmarais is a hamlet in Mont-Tremblant; Les Laurentides, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Desmarais is located at 46.1769°N, 74.6392°W.
Lac-Desmarais rests within the rugged terrain of Le Pain de Sucre, defined by the quiet currents of the Rivière du Diable. It lies 7.2 km north-north-west of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 335°T), and is situated 13.6 km south-south-east of Labelle. The basin holds a stillness that lingers long after the sun dips behind the rising slopes, casting long, bruised shadows across the water. Nearby, Lac de la Barbotte sits in quiet proximity, mirroring the dense canopy that defines this stretch of the landscape. The air here carries a sharp, resinous scent of pine and damp earth, a reminder of the persistent weight of the woods that press against the water’s edge. The history of Lac-Desmarais reflects the slow, deliberate work of those who first navigated the Rivière du Diable to harvest the timber and settle the fertile pockets of the valley. While the economy has shifted toward the seasonal transitions of the Laurentians, the local character remains defined by a respectful distance from the busier trails of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant. Life here follows the light, moving in accordance with the turning seasons rather than the ticking clock. Residents find their footing in the solitude of the woods, maintaining a quiet existence that values the integrity of the land over the clamor of modern development.
Lac-Desmarais s’étire avec une patience minérale sous la silhouette du Pain de Sucre, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de plonger vers les eaux sombres. La Rivière du Diable serpente à proximité, imposant un rythme lent à ce paysage où les reflets du soir viennent mourir sur les berges, transformant chaque onde en une fine pellicule d’argent. À peine plus loin, le Lac de la Barbotte dissimule ses eaux dans le silence des bois, offrant un refuge paisible à ceux qui cherchent la solitude des terres hautes. Bien que le Parc national du Mont-Tremblant s’étende au loin, Lac-Desmarais conserve une intimité farouche, marquée par la rudesse bienveillante d’un climat qui sculpte les tempéraments autant que les reliefs. L’air y possède une texture de roche et de résine, une pureté qui semble descendre directement des sommets pour envelopper les habitations. Ici, le travail des hommes s’est longtemps plié à la volonté du terrain, façonnant une identité faite de persévérance et d’une lecture attentive des cycles naturels. La lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, étirant les ombres jusqu’à ce que le monde se confonde avec l’horizon, laissant Lac-Desmarais dans une quiétude profonde, presque sacrée, où le moindre murmure du vent dans les pins suffit à raconter tout un héritage.

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.
