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-Saint-François-Xavier.
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-Saint-François-Xavier is a hamlet in Wentworth-Nord; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Saint-François-Xavier is located at 45.8817°N, 74.3647°W.
Lac-Saint-François-Xavier rests within the rugged terrain of the Cap Napoléon, where the dense Canadian Shield forest meets the clarity of still, cold water. It lies 25.2 km north of Lachute, QC (from Lachute, QC: bearing 355°T), and is situated 10.1 km south-south-west of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard. The air here holds a sharp, resinous weight, particularly when the low sun catches the granite outcroppings that define the horizon. Just a kilometer away, Lac Thurson mirrors the sky with a mirror-glass stillness, creating a quiet continuity between the two basins. While the Rivière Perdue flows some 17 km distant, its presence is felt in the way the local mist clings to the valleys, and the distant, thunderous resonance of Chutes de Lakeview, located 16 km away, serves as a faint, rhythmic reminder of the region’s shifting, hydrological power. Life in Wentworth-Nord, Les Pays-d'en-Haut, maintains a focus on the immediate, tangible elements of the wilderness that surrounds Lac-Saint-François-Xavier. The local economy and daily patterns reflect a long history of stewardship over the timbered slopes and the seasonal cycles that dictate the movement of the residents. Wood smoke often hangs in the crisp evening air, marking the transition from the labor of the day to the hearth-side stillness of the night. Traditions here are kept close, grounded in a respect for the land’s quiet demands, where the passage of the seasons is measured by the hardening of the ground and the return of the ice.
Le Lac-Saint-François-Xavier s'étire dans le Cap Napoléon comme une promesse de silence déposée sur les roches anciennes de Wentworth-Nord. Ici, l’air froid descend des collines pour embrasser la surface immobile, tandis que la lumière déclinante transforme les rives en une matière sombre et veloutée. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, le Lac Thurson semble répondre à cet appel par un miroitement discret, prolongeant la quiétude qui définit ces terres des Pays-d'en-Haut. La Rivière Perdue, située à dix-sept kilomètres, charrie dans son sillage une mélancolie sauvage, rappelant que la nature impose ici son rythme propre, bien loin des agitations du monde. Plus loin, à seize kilomètres, les Chutes de Lakeview ponctuent le silence d'un grondement sourd, rappelant la force vive qui coule sous la terre. Le Lac-Saint-François-Xavier se vit dans la patience des gestes quotidiens, une humble permanence qui traverse les âges sans chercher à se faire remarquer. Les habitants y cultivent une existence sobre, en harmonie avec le relief accidenté et les boisés denses qui protègent le secret de ces étendues. Chaque battement de paupière sur ce paysage révèle une beauté dépouillée, une vérité brute où l'eau et la pierre ne font plus qu'un sous un ciel immense.

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.
