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-Noir.
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-Noir is a resort area in Saint-Jean-de-Matha; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Noir is located at 46.2731°N, 73.5500°W.
Lac-Noir rests within the rugged terrain of Le Pain de Sucre, where the land rises in quiet, forested swells above the Rivière Blanche. It lies 29.0 km north-north-west of Joliette, QC (from Joliette, QC: bearing 343°T), and is situated 14.8 km north-west of Saint-Félix-de-Valois. The water of Lac-Noir reflects the shifting moods of the sky, holding a stillness that seems to deepen as the sun dips behind the treeline. Just a short distance away, Lac de la Volière mirrors this same quietude, tucked into the surrounding woods as if guarding a secret shared only with the wind. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a cold clarity that sharpens the senses during the long transitions between the seasons. Life in Lac-Noir follows the cycle of the landscape, where the movement of the Rivière Blanche dictates the pace of the days and the character of the woods. Settlement in this corner of Matawinie grew from the necessity of the land, drawing those who sought a life shaped by the realities of the soil and the timber. The local economy maintains a steady connection to the natural bounty of the region, favoring a way of existence that values the labor of the hands and the stewardship of the forest. Traditions persist in the simple gatherings of those who reside here, honoring a history that is rooted in the quiet strength of the terrain. Even as the modern world turns, Lac-Noir keeps its own counsel, remaining a sanctuary where the weight of the day lifts with the rising mist off the water.
Lac-Noir se déploie avec une humilité tranquille dans le relief accidenté du Pain de Sucre, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous le poids des érables. La lumière du soir glisse sur les eaux sombres, révélant une quiétude que seule la Rivière Blanche vient rompre, murmurant son passage à travers les pierres moussues. À peine à un kilomètre de là, le Lac de la Volière se cache dans un repli de terrain, gardant pour lui le secret des brumes matinales qui s'attardent sur les sommets. Lac-Noir porte en lui cette rudesse bienveillante des terres de la Matawinie, façonnée par des générations qui ont appris à lire le ciel et à dompter un sol exigeant. Les activités humaines, discrètes, se sont ajustées aux caprices de la topographie locale, privilégiant une existence rythmée par les nuances changeantes de la forêt. L'air y possède une texture vive, chargée de l'odeur des résineux et de la fraîcheur humide de la Rivière Blanche, rappelant aux habitants la puissance brute de leur environnement. Ici, la vie s'écoule sans fracas, dans le respect profond de ces horizons où le Pain de Sucre impose sa présence, offrant à Lac-Noir un cadre immuable où chaque crépuscule semble un nouveau commencement.
