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-Seize-Îles.
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-Seize-Îles is a municipality in Lac-des-Seize-Îles; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-des-Seize-Îles is located at 45.9247°N, 74.4708°W.
Lac-des-Seize-Îles rests within a landscape defined by the rugged elevation of Mont Buck, where the terrain rises to frame a horizon of dense, shadowed timber. It lies 23.7 km south-south-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 155°T), and is situated 11.6 km west-south-west of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard. The water surface acts as a dark, polished mirror for the surrounding heights, catching the sharp, fleeting violet of the evening light before the stars settle over the stillness. Nearby, Lac du Grand Héron shares this quiet basin, while the distant, rushing energy of the Rivière Perdue provides a subtle, persistent counterpoint to the hush of the woods. Further afield, the cooling spray of Chutes de Lakeview marks the edge of this domain, where the air grows heavy with the scent of damp moss and cooling stone. The character of Lac-des-Seize-Îles emerged from the ambition of early settlers who sought a life carved from the steep, demanding slopes of Les Pays-d'en-Haut. While the local economy long relied on the quiet extraction of forest resources, Lac-des-Seize-Îles now thrives as a retreat where the pace of life follows the seasonal shift of the sun across the ridgeline. Traditional wooden architecture clings to the shoreline, standing as a humble presence against the weight of the Canadian shield. Daily existence here retains a deliberate clarity, defined by the sound of oars against water and the long, blue shadows that stretch across the land as the day recedes into the deep, cooling mountain air.
Lac-des-Seize-Îles s’étire sous la garde silencieuse du Mont Buck, offrant une géographie où l’eau et la terre se fragmentent en une multitude de promontoires boisés. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur la surface du Lac du Grand Héron, dont les eaux calmes épousent les contours imprévisibles de rives escarpées, créant une atmosphère de recueillement propre aux terres hautes. À une distance de treize kilomètres, le cours capricieux de la Rivière Perdue trace un sillage frais dans le relief accidenté, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de Lakeview, situées à neuf kilomètres, ponctue le silence des forêts environnantes. L’histoire de Lac-des-Seize-Îles s’est bâtie sur la rudesse du sol et l’isolement protecteur des collines, forgeant un caractère tenace chez ceux qui ont apprivoisé ce terrain escarpé. Ici, le rythme de la vie quotidienne se règle sur la persistance des essences feuillues et la clarté d’un air vif qui descend des sommets. Les résidents conservent une relation étroite avec cet horizon morcelé, où chaque îlot semble flotter dans une solitude apaisante, loin de l’agitation des plaines, affirmant une identité façonnée par la roche, le bois et l’omniprésence de l’eau qui définit chaque perspective.
