Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Lauréat.
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.

Lauréat is a hamlet in Otter Lake; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lauréat is located at 45.9128°N, 76.3756°W.
Lauréat rests within the rugged reach of the Collines Polish, where the land rises in quiet, stony swells that catch the amber light of the waning day. It lies 29.2 km east-north-east of Fort-Coulonge, QC (from Fort-Coulonge, QC: bearing 74°T), and is situated 30.8 km south-west of Gracefield. The air here holds a crisp, earthen weight, smelling of pine needles and damp granite, while the silence is broken only by the occasional rustle of cedar boughs. Near the tranquil surface of Lac à Roger, the shadows lengthen against the forest edge, marking a landscape defined by its proximity to the wilder, hidden corners of the Pontiac. Even as the sun dips behind the ridges, the terrain maintains a steady, watchful presence, ancient and unyielding beneath the vast, cooling sky. The history of Lauréat is marked by the persistent endurance of those who settled among the hills, carving a life from a frontier that demanded both labor and patience. Local industry has long relied on the bounty of the woods, with the economy turning on the cycles of forestry and seasonal work that align with the shifting seasons. While the Rivière Dumont flows steadily through the broader region, the inhabitants of Lauréat continue to find their focus in the immediate, intimate details of their surroundings, far from the distant bustle of the Ottawa River Provincial Park. Daily life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that values its solitude, where the collective memory of the people persists as clearly as the cold, clear water found in the nearby basins.
Lauréat s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres accidentées du Pontiac, où le sol granitique rencontre la douceur des vallons. À l’approche du crépuscule, une lumière dorée, presque liquide, vient lécher les contreforts des Collines Polish, révélant la texture brute d’une terre façonnée par le labeur agricole et le silence des forêts boréales. Le Lac à Roger, niché à peine à deux kilomètres de distance, offre un miroir immobile où les cieux se délavent dans des nuances de violet et de cendre. La vie à Lauréat suit le rythme lent des travaux de la terre, une existence dictée par la rudesse climatique et la fidélité aux racines locales qui imprègnent chaque rangée de culture et chaque sentier boisé. À treize kilomètres, la Rivière Dumont serpente dans un murmure discret, charriant les échos d’un passé lié à l’exploitation sylvicole qui a jadis dicté l’essor de la région. Plus loin, vers le sud, le parc provincial Ottawa River marque une frontière naturelle avec l’immensité, mais ici, le regard préfère s’attarder sur les détails familiers du quotidien, le craquement du givre sur les clôtures ou l’odeur de la résine portée par le vent du nord. Cette étendue sauvage, loin des agitations urbaines, conserve une dignité austère, propre aux paysages qui exigent de ceux qui les habitent une patience infinie et un respect profond pour le silence.

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.
