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-à-Dave.
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-à-Dave is a locality in Saint-Théophile; Beauce-Sartigan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-à-Dave is located at 45.9522°N, 70.4442°W.
Lac-à-Dave rests within the rugged, rolling expanse of Saint-Théophile, where the earth holds the chill of the highlands beneath a cover of dense, dark timber. It lies 25.8 km south-east of Saint-Georges, QC (from Saint-Georges, QC: bearing 137°T), and is situated 13.9 km south-south-east of Saint-Côme–Linière. The water of the lake remains still and deep, gathering the silver light of the northern sky as it presses against the rising ground near the Le Cap. Nearby, the Rivière du Portage carves its path through the terrain, its current providing a steady, low hum that persists through the changing seasons. The air here carries the scent of damp stone and pine needles, a crisp weight that settles over the landscape long before the sun dips behind the treeline. Just a short distance away, Lac à Jos-Vallée mirrors the quiet solitude of the surrounding hills, reinforcing the sense of isolation that defines this corner of Beauce-Sartigan. Life in the vicinity of Lac-à-Dave reflects the quiet persistence of those who work the land and the timbered slopes that define the regional economy. Generations have moved through these woods, their presence marked by the slow expansion of clearings and the maintenance of backroads that wind through the hills. The character of the land demands a certain stoicism, an awareness of the frost that arrives early and stays late, influencing everything from the architecture of local farmsteads to the daily habits of the people. While the modern world presses in from the south, the rhythm of existence here stays aligned with the shifting shadows on the water and the seasonal cycles of the forest. Every morning, the mist rises from the Rivière du Portage to cling to the hillsides, grounding the inhabitants in a landscape that values patience above all else.
Lac-à-Dave s'étire avec une humilité tranquille dans le relief accidenté de la Beauce-Sartigan, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière de fin de journée qui nimbe les pins d’un éclat cuivré. Ce territoire, façonné par les rigueurs du climat et le labeur des bâtisseurs, s'articule autour de la Rivière du Portage qui serpente entre les collines boisées. À proximité du Cap, les silhouettes des arbres se découpent contre un ciel délavé, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une humidité légère, porte le murmure constant de l'eau. Le Lac à Jos-Vallée, situé à un kilomètre de distance, ajoute une note de silence immobile à cette étendue sauvage. La vie à Lac-à-Dave se déploie dans une patience héritée des anciennes familles de colonisation, où le bois et le sol dictent les rythmes quotidiens. Ici, chaque sentier qui longe la Rivière du Portage raconte une persévérance silencieuse contre les vents du nord, une existence tournée vers les forces élémentaires de la nature. La géographie singulière de ce secteur, marquée par la proximité immédiate du Cap, confère aux habitants un sentiment de retrait protecteur face à l'immensité forestière qui cerne chaque propriété, isolant les demeures dans une quiétude profonde et minérale.
