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-Raquette.
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-Raquette is a hamlet in Lac-Etchemin; Les Etchemins, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Raquette is located at 46.3683°N, 70.5142°W.
Lac-Raquette rests in a hollow of the earth where the light seems to linger, caught between the slopes of Le Gros Morne and the quiet reach of the Rivière Famine. It lies 29.8 km north-north-east of Saint-Georges, QC (from Saint-Georges, QC: bearing 24°T), and is situated 3.2 km south-south-west of Lac-Etchemin. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, a weight of granite and pine that defines the horizon, while Lac à la Raquette waits nearby as a mirror for the shifting clouds. When the sun dips low, the water reflects a bruised violet hue, signaling the transition from the heat of the day to the sharp, cooling air that descends from the heights. The history of Lac-Raquette draws its strength from the cycles of the land and the resilient industry that has long sustained the people living along the Rivière Famine. While the Chutes du Diable exert a distant, roaring presence sixteen kilometers away, the local life near Lac-Raquette remains defined by a steady, pragmatic labor that respects the turning of the seasons. Families here carry on traditions of forestry and seasonal cultivation, their routines shaped by the demands of a landscape that provides just enough for those willing to work its edges. Even in the silence of the woods, the spirit of the place endures, marked by a quiet tenacity that echoes the enduring flow of the nearby water.
Lac-Raquette déploie ses rives sous une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde, là où les collines s'inclinent avec une gravité ancienne vers le passage tranquille de la Rivière Famine. Dans ce recoin des Etchemins, l'air porte une fraîcheur résineuse, celle qui descend des hauteurs du Gros Morne pour envelopper les terres d'une clarté argentée. À peine à un kilomètre, le Lac à la Raquette miroite dans un silence profond, gardien d'un calme que le tumulte des Chutes du Diable, situées à seize kilomètres, ne fait qu'accentuer par sa rumeur lointaine et persistante. Lac-Raquette observe ses habitants cultiver une patience héritée de la terre, un rythme quotidien réglé sur le glissement des eaux et la patience des saisons qui transforment les champs en étendues de givre ou en prairies odorantes. L'histoire s'y lit dans la persistance des boisés et la ligne immuable de l'horizon, loin des agitations urbaines, offrant aux résidents une existence sobre, presque recueillie. Chaque soir, le crépuscule dépose sur ce relief une douceur mélancolique, soulignant la rudesse des pentes et la ténacité d'une vie qui, depuis longtemps, a choisi de s'accorder au murmure constant de la Rivière Famine et à la présence immuable du Gros Morne.
