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-Îlets.
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-Îlets is a resort area in Saint-Félix-d'Otis; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-des-Îlets is located at 48.2508°N, 70.6461°W.
Lac-des-Îlets rests in a quiet fold of the landscape, defined by the resilient stone and dense boreal growth that characterize the terrain near the Côte à François. It lies 36.5 km east-south-east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 123°T), and is situated 16.0 km south-south-west of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord. The water of Lac-des-Îlets holds the sky in a mirror of deep, dark blue, catching the sharp light of a northern dusk that lingers longer than the sun seems to warrant. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the rugged geography asserts itself, with the Rivière Éternité flowing through the wider region some 10 km away, while the distant, mist-laden expanse of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay anchors the horizon 27 km to the north. In the cooler months, the air feels thin and crystalline, carrying the scent of damp pine needles and the stillness of a land that has seen the slow, patient passage of glaciers. Even the hidden cascades of Chutes à Bianca, located 8 km from the water’s edge, contribute to a sense of seclusion, as if the land itself prefers to keep its secrets tucked away behind the ridges. Life around Lac-des-Îlets operates with a deliberate, steady focus, shaped by the historical necessity of working the timber and managing the harsh, beautiful shifts of the seasons. Local families have long understood the demands of this terrain, finding their livelihood in a landscape that offers little to those who do not respect its limits. The daily movement here reflects a pragmatic grace, where the work of maintenance and small-scale cultivation follows the turning of the earth rather than the pressure of the clock. On quiet afternoons, the wind carries a low, hollow sound through the trees, a reminder of the vast, unpopulated stretches that surround the small clearings of Saint-Félix-d'Otis. Visitors often find that the stillness of the place demands a different kind of attention, one that values the texture of the lichen on the rocks and the way the shadows lengthen against the timber-framed structures that define the local architecture.
Lac-des-Îlets s’étire dans une lumière déclinante qui transforme les reliefs de la Côte à François en une paroi de bronze sombre, veillant sur les eaux paisibles du Lac des Îlets. Ici, le silence se fragmente parfois sous le souffle du vent qui descend vers la Rivière Éternité, rappelant la rudesse des terres que les premiers défricheurs ont patiemment façonnées par le travail acharné du bois. La rudesse du climat forge une existence simple, où la proximité du Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay impose une majesté sauvage qui domine les activités quotidiennes. À quelques lieues, les Chutes à Bianca chantent une mélodie constante, marquant le rythme des journées dans ce secteur où la nature dicte ses propres limites. Lac-des-Îlets préserve une identité façonnée par l’isolement géographique et une ténacité héritée de ceux qui ont choisi de s’établir face à l’immensité des roches et des forêts. Les habitants perçoivent le changement des jours par le déplacement des ombres sur les versants escarpés, trouvant dans cette solitude une force renouvelée. La terre, bien que difficile, offre une quiétude rare dans le tumulte moderne, maintenant une présence humaine humble au sein d’un décor minéral où chaque sentier raconte une patience séculaire.

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.
