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-Fées.
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-Fées is a residential area in Gatineau; Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-des-Fées is located at 45.4397°N, 75.7475°W.
Lac-des-Fées rests within the quiet elevation of the Mont Bleu, cradled by the land as if the earth itself had folded to hold the water. It lies 3.1 km west-north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 295°T), and is situated 12.7 km south-south-east of Cantley. The light at dusk settles heavily here, pooling in the basin of the terrain to create a stillness that softens the edges of the surrounding slopes. While the rush of the Rivière Gatineau marks the broader flow of the region, the immediate presence of Lac-des-Fées remains singular and contained, its surface mirroring the sky with a clarity that seems to sharpen the evening air. Only three kilometers away, the power of Chaudière Falls exerts a distant, gravitational pull on the imagination, yet the immediate horizon of Lac-des-Fées stays defined by the intimate, sheltered contour of its own basin. The history of Lac-des-Fées lingers in the transition between the dense, older growth of the Mont Bleu and the encroaching development of the modern cityscape. Once a site of pastoral quietude, the locality now balances this legacy against the steady pulse of suburban life, where the movement of residents defines the daily passage of hours. People walk the perimeter, their footsteps marking a familiar cadence against the stones and the low-hanging branches that reach toward the water. This proximity to the larger urban core has shifted the character of the land, yet the name Lac-des-Fées survives as a reminder of a wilder, more elusive origin that continues to shape the way light and shadow play across the ground.
Lac-des-Fées déploie son existence tranquille sur les pentes du Mont Bleu, là où la terre s'incline doucement vers les rives de la Rivière Gatineau. Ce secteur garde le souvenir d'un passé agricole, une époque où les familles labouraient ce sol fertile avant que l'expansion urbaine ne transforme les champs en sentiers familiers. Aujourd'hui, les résidents habitent ce relief avec une simplicité qui ignore les grands fracas, privilégiant le silence des matins brumeux qui s'élèvent du Lac des Fées. La proximité des chutes Chaudière, situées à seulement trois kilomètres, insuffle à l'air une fraîcheur constante, un murmure aquatique qui rappelle la puissance sauvage de la nature environnante. Dans le quotidien de Lac-des-Fées, le rythme des jours suit la lumière qui glisse sur les arbres, révélant la texture minérale du paysage et la solidité des maisons nichées contre la colline. Entre les arbres du Mont Bleu et la silhouette lointaine de la Rivière Gatineau, la vie s'écoule sans artifice, portée par une mémoire collective qui se transmet autant par le regard que par les gestes simples de ceux qui ont choisi d'habiter ces hauteurs. Le soir venu, le ciel se teinte de nuances changeantes au-dessus du Lac des Fées, marquant une pause dans le labeur des heures passées.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
