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-Simon.
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-Simon is a municipality in Lac-Simon; Papineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Simon is located at 45.9072°N, 75.0932°W.
Lac-Simon rests within a basin of ancient stone and shadow, defined by the steady presence of the Rivière de la Petite Nation. It lies 44.7 km west-south-west of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 239°T), and is situated 12.8 km west of Namur. The surrounding hills, marked by the slopes of the Mont Sugar Bush, cradle the basin where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of polished slate, cold and impenetrable. Nearby, Lac Pilon sits in quiet companionship, a smaller mirror reflecting the dense growth of the surrounding woods. Further out, the roar of the Chutes à Pontbrin provides a persistent, low-frequency hum that anchors the landscape, while the distant expanse of Parc national de Plaisance waits beyond the horizon, reminding the inhabitant of the vast, wild reaches of the region. The life of Lac-Simon moves in accordance with the seasonal cycles of the Rivière de la Petite Nation, which has long served as a vital artery for the region. Historically, the timber industry defined the labor of the land, leaving behind a heritage of woodcraft and resilience that still informs the local character. Today, the economy leans toward the hospitality of the land, drawing those who seek the stillness of the northern woods or the clarity of the water. Even in the height of summer, the air carries a sharp, metallic hint of the coming frost, ensuring that residents remain attentive to the shifts in the wind. Lac-Simon maintains its identity through these quiet, repetitive labors, where the movement of the seasons dictates the pace of the day far more than the ticking of a clock.
Lac-Simon déploie ses rives sous une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le mouvement des heures, là où le silence de la terre rencontre l'onde paisible. À proximité, le Mont Sugar Bush incline sa silhouette robuste sur le paysage, veillant avec une discrétion minérale sur ce territoire baigné par la Rivière de la Petite Nation. L'air y possède une texture particulière, portée par l'humidité fraîche qui s'élève des profondeurs du Lac Pilon, situé à une courte distance, tandis que le chant sourd des Chutes à Pontbrin ponctue la quiétude des bois environnants. Les jours s'écoulent en une succession de gestes simples, héritiers d'une tradition qui puise sa force dans la proximité immédiate de la nature et l'usage respectueux des ressources forestières. Si le Parc national de Plaisance prolonge l'horizon vers d'autres étendues, Lac-Simon conserve son identité propre, marquée par une relation intime avec ces eaux qui ont façonné le relief. Chaque sentier, chaque frisson de la cime des arbres sous la brise, rappelle la présence constante d'une géographie généreuse, offrant à ceux qui y résident un espace où la clarté du ciel se confond avec la sérénité des abords.
