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-Vingt-Sous.
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-Vingt-Sous is a hamlet in Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-Vingt-Sous is located at 45.9497°N, 74.3694°W.
Lac-Vingt-Sous rests within the rugged, forested terrain of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard, where the elevation rises to meet the sharp, cooling air of the high ground near Le Calvaire. It lies 25.8 km south-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 136°T), and is situated 12.7 km south-south-west of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts. The light here possesses a peculiar, silver clarity, catching the surface of Lac Vingt Sous until the water looks like polished slate reflecting the encroaching hemlocks. This landscape remains dominated by the granite bones of the earth and the dense, dark green of the conifers that stand guard along the shorelines. Even at the height of summer, the shadows cast by the surrounding hills provide a brief, cool respite, grounding the spirit in the quiet gravity of the Canadian Shield. The history of Lac-Vingt-Sous is marked by the slow, persistent labor of those who cleared the timber and settled the narrow valleys of Les Pays-d'en-Haut. While the distant, steady pulse of the Rivière du Nord defines the flow of the wider region, life here turns inward toward the lake, where the economy has long transitioned from the raw extraction of resources to the seasonal stewardship of the land. Visitors occasionally venture toward the Chutes de Lakeview, yet the primary character of the vicinity remains defined by a domestic stillness that persists long after the visitors depart. Daily existence reflects a deep familiarity with the changing seasons, where the preparation for winter serves as the silent, cyclical heartbeat of the locality.
Lac-Vingt-Sous s’étire dans la clarté déclinante, là où la roche et la forêt s’apprivoisent sous une lumière de fin d’après-midi, douce et dense. À proximité du Calvaire, la topographie des Pays-d’en-Haut impose son relief accidenté, forçant le regard à suivre les courbes d’un terrain façonné par une rudesse ancienne. Le paysage se déploie dans un silence que seule interrompt, à quelques kilomètres de distance, la Rivière du Nord, serpentant avec une persistance minérale dans ce secteur marqué par la ténacité des bâtisseurs. La présence de Lac-Vingt-Sous se définit par cette eau immobile qui capte les reflets cuivrés du crépuscule, tandis que la fraîcheur monte des bois environnants pour envelopper les habitations isolées. Plus loin, les Chutes de Lakeview ajoutent une note de mouvement sourd au rythme de la contrée, rappelant combien l’eau, dans toutes ses formes, dicte la marche de ces lieux. La vie quotidienne ici se compose de gestes sobres, hérités d'une économie forestière qui a lentement cédé le pas à une villégiature discrète, laissant les résidents partager une solitude choisie. Chaque sentier qui s'enfonce dans la terre sombre semble porter la mémoire des premières clairières défrichées, maintenant apaisées par le passage des années et la quiétude immuable du climat boréal.
