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-Foin.
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-Foin is a hamlet in Notre-Dame-de-Pontmain; Antoine-Labelle, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-à-Foin is located at 46.1775°N, 75.6894°W.
Lac-à-Foin rests within the quiet expanse of the Antoine-Labelle region, defined by the steady presence of the Rivière du Lièvre. It lies 31.4 km south-east of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 134°T), and is situated 11.2 km north-north-west of Notre-Dame-du-Laus. The water near La Petite Loge holds a stillness that mirrors the dense canopy, catching the amber light of dusk until the surface turns to polished bronze. Only three kilometers away, Premier lac à Richer maintains its own secluded watch, keeping the landscape anchored in a geography of deep woods and slow-moving currents. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and pine needles, a cold, clean weight that settles over the low ground as the sun retreats behind the treeline. Life around Lac-à-Foin follows the seasonal shifts of the watershed, where the legacy of timber harvest and the quiet trade of the backcountry continue to shape the day. Families who have long tended these lands understand the temperament of the Rivière du Lièvre, knowing how the river swells and retreats against the banks. The local identity remains tied to the hard-won practicalities of the forest and the water, far removed from the clamor of the wider world. In the evenings, the distant, rhythmic call of a loon across the water marks the closing of another day, grounding Lac-à-Foin in a cycle that feels both ancient and entirely present.
Lac-à-Foin s’étire avec une patience minérale le long des ondulations forestières qui bordent la Rivière du Lièvre, là où le courant semble suspendre sa course pour épouser la courbe des rives. À proximité de La Petite Loge, le sol garde le souvenir des premiers défrichements, ces labours anciens qui ont façonné le relief en douces pentes habitées par le silence et la sève des bois. Le Premier lac à Richer, distant de quelques lieues, renvoie une clarté argentée sous le ciel changeant de Notre-Dame-de-Pontmain, tandis que l’air, chargé d’une humidité vive, porte en lui la respiration des épinettes et le murmure constant de l’eau. Les journées à Lac-à-Foin suivent le rythme lent des ombres qui s’allongent sur les berges à l’heure où le soleil s’efface, révélant une terre où la rudesse du climat a fini par polir les caractères. Ici, le travail des hommes demeure lié à la générosité simple des eaux et aux terres qui, malgré leur austérité, offrent une subsistance patiente. Le paysage, dépouillé de tout artifice, révèle sa noblesse dans la manière dont la lumière décline sur les roches sombres, installant une quiétude qui semble suspendre le monde à la clarté pure de la Rivière du Lièvre.
