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-Drolet.
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-Drolet is a municipality in Lac-Drolet; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Lac-Drolet is located at 45.7182°N, 70.8496°W.
Lac-Drolet rests within the rugged, rolling terrain of the Appalachian foothills, marked by the prominent rise of the Montagne de la Croix. It lies 16.2 km north of Lac-Mégantic, QC (from Lac-Mégantic, QC: bearing 9°T), and is situated 12.1 km west-south-west of Saint-Ludger. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often catching the amber light of late afternoon as it settles over the slopes. While the Rivière Drolet winds its way through the lower reaches some 6 km distant, the landscape remains defined by the presence of Lac Drolet, which sits roughly 3 km from the village center. Though Parc national de Frontenac exists 33 km away, the local horizon is dominated by the immediate, earthy mass of the mountain, which anchors the view and shelters the valley from the sharper edges of the wind. Life in Lac-Drolet moves with the steady, deliberate pace of a region defined by granite and timber, where the extraction and shaping of stone have long served as the bedrock of the local economy. Families here have built their homes and livelihoods around the dense, enduring character of the land, maintaining traditions that reflect a deep familiarity with the changing seasons. The community finds its identity in the quiet work of its people, who carry on their daily tasks against a backdrop of woods and rock. Even as the modern world shifts, Lac-Drolet keeps a grounded composure, valuing the simple weight of a day’s labor and the enduring stillness found in the shadow of the Montagne de la Croix.
Lac-Drolet s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les reliefs accidentés que surplombe la Montagne de la Croix, dont l’ombre portée semble veiller sur les activités humaines. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes, révélant une texture de terre où les racines de l’agriculture et de l’exploitation forestière ont façonné la ténacité des habitants. À trois kilomètres du centre, le Lac Drolet offre ses eaux calmes aux variations du ciel, tandis que la Rivière Drolet poursuit son cours discret à six kilomètres de là, irriguant une mémoire collective façonnée par le granit et le labeur. L’horizon est vaste, libéré des obstacles, invitant le regard à se perdre vers les terres plus lointaines qui mènent, après une trentaine de kilomètres, vers les étendues protégées du Parc national de Frontenac. Lac-Drolet conserve cette allure de halte paisible, une présence constante dans le paysage du Granit où le silence des forêts se mêle aux sons ténus des machines et des travaux quotidiens. Chaque maison semble installée là pour durer, portée par une fidélité aux gestes anciens et une adaptation sereine aux rigueurs du climat, transformant chaque jour en une simple continuation de l’existence dans ce cadre minéral et verdoyant.
