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 Lapointe.
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.

Lapointe is a hamlet in Dégelis; Témiscouata, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lapointe is located at 47.5217°N, 68.6917°W.
Lapointe rests within the shadowed embrace of the Monts Notre-Dame, where the land rises in quiet, forested swells above the Rivière aux Sapins. It lies 4.4 km south-west of Dégelis, QC (from Dégelis, QC: bearing 229°T), and is situated 8.1 km east-north-east of Packington. The water of the river moves with a persistent, cold clarity, carving a path through the terrain that defines the physical limits of the valley. Here, the air holds a sharpness that lingers even as the afternoon light shifts toward the indigo hues of dusk, casting long, thin silhouettes across the rugged ground. Lac Martin sits nestled in the nearby folds of the earth, its surface often catching the sudden, fleeting stillness that descends upon the hills before nightfall. The history of Lapointe remains anchored to the timber and the slow, deliberate work of those who first cleared these slopes. Life in Lapointe moves in alignment with the seasons, following a cadence set by the demands of the forest and the enduring presence of the landscape. While Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata draws those seeking the vast, protected reaches of the wilderness further afield, the daily existence here retains a focused, local character. The woods provide a constant backdrop to the industry and domesticity of the residents, who maintain a quiet connection to the geography that separates them from the wider world.
Lapointe s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière aux Sapins, là où le relief se fait plus exigeant sous l'ombre portée des Monts Notre-Dame. Ce secteur du Témiscouata, façonné par les soubresauts de la terre et la persévérance des familles pionnières, conserve une intimité que seule la proximité des grands espaces peut offrir. À quelques kilomètres, les eaux du Lac Martin captent les derniers éclats d'un soleil déclinant, prolongeant la clarté sur les champs qui s'inclinent doucement vers le cours d'eau. La vie à Lapointe s'écoule au rythme des terres cultivées et d'une industrie forestière qui a longtemps dicté le pas des jours, tout en maintenant une relation étroite avec les zones sauvages environnantes. À peine à vingt et un kilomètres, le Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata impose sa présence silencieuse, rappelant aux habitants la puissance brute d'une nature qui ne se laisse jamais totalement apprivoiser. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur particulière, chargée d'odeurs de résineux et de terre humide, tandis que le ciel immense semble descendre pour embrasser le sommet des collines. Dans cet équilibre fragile entre le labeur quotidien et la solitude des étendues boisées, le paysage devient une confidence que l'on garde pour soi, loin du tumulte, dans une permanence qui ne demande aucun artifice.
