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-Laurel.
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-Laurel is a hamlet in Lac-des-Seize-Îles; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Laurel is located at 45.8742°N, 74.4742°W.
Lac-Laurel rests within a secluded basin, its waters holding the stillness of an undisturbed mirror beneath the looming presence of the Cap Napoléon. It lies 26.5 km north-north-west of Lachute, QC (from Lachute, QC: bearing 337°T), and is situated 15.1 km south-west of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard. The low light of late afternoon clings to the dense treeline, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the surface of the lake and reach toward the nearby Lac Laurel, which sits solitary just a kilometer away. A hushed quality hangs in the air, distinct from the distant, rushing energy of the Chutes de Lakeview some seven kilometers off, or the persistent, hidden movement of the Rivière Perdue flowing nine kilometers across the rugged terrain. Lac-Laurel defines the character of this district in Les Pays-d'en-Haut, where the land rises in sharp, granite-strewn ridges that demand a deliberate pace from those who traverse them. Historical settlement here grew from the quiet necessity of timber and the slow clearing of rocky hillsides, forming a life centered on the resilience of the seasons. Local industry long ago shifted from the extraction of resources to a quieter existence, one where the morning mist serves as the primary clock for the inhabitants of Lac-Laurel. The traditions of the region are held in the maintenance of wooden dwellings and the careful stewardship of the surrounding woods, ensuring the landscape retains its austere, northern integrity. Life proceeds without fanfare, guided by the cold, crisp clarity of the air and the knowledge that the mountains offer no easy paths, only the satisfaction of a day earned through steady, quiet labor.
Lac-Laurel déploie ses rives sous une lumière oblique, là où la topographie accidentée des Pays-d'en-Haut dessine des courbes serrées entre les sommets et les dépressions. À proximité, Cap Napoléon domine les environs de sa masse imposante, imposant un calme minéral à l'étendue aquatique qui borde le secteur. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d'une humidité boisée qui semble s'étirer depuis la Rivière Perdue, laquelle serpente à une distance de neuf kilomètres. Le Lac Laurel, situé à peine à un kilomètre, entretient avec son homonyme une parenté silencieuse, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de Lakeview, à sept kilomètres, scande le rythme tranquille de la contrée. L'histoire de Lac-Laurel s'est construite sur une patience paysanne, celle des familles ayant défriché ces terres difficiles pour y établir une vie austère mais féconde, loin du tumulte des grands centres. Les gestes quotidiens des résidents s'accordent à la lenteur des cycles naturels, dans une géographie où chaque colline et chaque repli de terrain raconte une persévérance silencieuse. Ici, le paysage impose sa propre mesure, une présence constante qui définit l'identité des lieux par sa rudesse et sa beauté dépouillée, préservant une sérénité que les vents du nord viennent parfois bousculer sans jamais altérer l'âme profonde de Lac-Laurel.

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.
