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-des-Aulnes.
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-des-Aulnes is a hamlet in Saint-Donat; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-des-Aulnes is located at 46.3667°N, 74.1903°W.
Lac-des-Aulnes sits nestled within the rugged, forested terrain of the Laurentian Highlands, where the land rises sharply toward the slopes of Mont Nixon. It lies 41.9 km north-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 49°T), and is situated 5.9 km north-north-east of Saint-Donat-de-Montcalm. The air here holds a crisp, resinous quality that seems to sharpen the edges of the surrounding pines, especially as the late afternoon light turns the surface of Lac des Aulnes into a sheet of hammered copper. While the Rivière L'Assomption winds its course through the broader valley some 8 km away, the immediate surroundings of Lac-des-Aulnes are defined by a quieter, enclosed intimacy, sheltered from the wider movements of the world. The landscape retains a stillness that feels ancient, suggesting a geography that has long provided a sanctuary for those seeking to observe the slow, deliberate transition of the seasons. The historical character of the region reflects the enduring influence of forestry and seasonal land use, which shaped the development of Saint-Donat and the Matawinie territory. Residents of Lac-des-Aulnes often look toward the broader expanse of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, located 14 km away, as a reflection of the wilderness that defines their own backyard. The local economy persists in a delicate balance between the legacy of timber extraction and a modern preference for quiet recreation, keeping the pace of life measured and observant. In the evenings, the cooling temperature brings a familiar, damp scent of earth and birch bark, reminding anyone present that the rhythm of the day is dictated more by the rising and setting of the sun against the silhouette of Mont Nixon than by any external clock.
Lac-des-Aulnes s’éveille sous une lumière minérale, là où les pentes du Mont Nixon imposent leur présence silencieuse au-dessus des vallées de la Matawinie. La terre ici se souvient de l’effort des premiers colons, ces familles ayant défriché le sol rocailleux pour y établir une subsistance modeste, loin des agitations urbaines. Le paysage se définit par cette proximité immédiate avec le Lac-des-Aulnes, dont les rives absorbent les derniers reflets cuivrés du jour, offrant une quiétude que seul le souffle du vent vient troubler. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière L’Assomption chemine avec une lenteur tranquille, rappelant aux habitants la force nourricière des eaux qui irriguent cette contrée sauvage. Plus loin, le Parc national du Mont-Tremblant dessine une ligne d’horizon protectrice, veillant sur cet espace où la nature demeure la principale autorité. Lac-des-Aulnes porte en lui une rigueur héritée des hivers longs, une endurance qui forge le caractère de ceux qui choisissent d’y établir leur demeure. Entre les roches anciennes et les forêts denses, le quotidien s’ordonne selon le rythme des éléments, loin des artifices, préservant une identité farouchement rattachée à la terre et aux bois qui entourent chaque foyer.
