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 Laval-Nord.
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.

Laval-Nord is a residential area in Nantes; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Laval-Nord is located at 45.5975°N, 70.9200°W.
Laval-Nord occupies a rugged stretch of the Eastern Townships where the earth rises toward the prominence of the Montagne de la Croix. It lies 3.9 km north-west of Lac-Mégantic, QC (from Lac-Mégantic, QC: bearing 311°T), and is situated 14.5 km south-south-west of Lac-Drolet. The Rivière Chaudière cuts a persistent path through the terrain here, its currents mirroring the shifting light that gathers against the hillsides at dusk. Nearby, the stillness of Lac de l'Orignal offers a quiet counterpoint to the movement of the river, while the distant, shadowed silhouette of Parc national du Mont-Mégantic defines the horizon. The soil holds a stubborn, rocky character, demanding a certain tenacity from those who work the land beneath the vast, cooling Quebec sky. History in Laval-Nord gathers around the industry of stone and the slow expansion of agricultural life in Le Granit. Locals maintain a connection to the granite-rich bedrock that once powered the regional economy, a legacy visible in the heavy, enduring foundations of older structures. The pace of daily life follows the seasonal shift, moving from the sharp, clear cold of winter to the sudden, verdant intensity of spring. People here carry a quiet independence, shaped by the proximity of the wilderness and the persistent, low-frequency hum of the Rivière Chaudière that never quite leaves the ear.
Laval-Nord déploie ses habitations modestes sur les flancs vallonnés qui s’inclinent doucement vers les eaux sombres de la Rivière Chaudière. Sous la lumière oblique du crépuscule, le relief se creuse, révélant la silhouette familière de la Montagne de la Croix qui surveille les activités quotidiennes avec une vigilance minérale. Ici, le travail du sol et l’héritage des familles pionnières imprègnent chaque parcelle de terre, tandis que les vents chargés d’humidité remontent le cours d’eau pour rafraîchir les vergers et les terres en friche. À quelques encablures, le Lac de l’Orignal demeure un miroir paisible où le silence ne cède que devant le vol des oiseaux migrateurs. L’horizon est marqué par la présence lointaine, mais imposante, du Parc national du Mont-Mégantic, dont les crêtes bleutées dessinent une limite austère au ciel du soir. Laval-Nord cultive une existence rythmée par la rudesse du climat continental, exigeant de ses habitants une endurance calme et une attention minutieuse aux caprices du terrain. La vie s’écoule selon les cycles de la terre, dans une solitude préservée par les boisés environnants, loin de l’agitation des grandes plaines, offrant une rudesse élégante à ceux qui choisissent de s’établir sur ces rives escarpées du Granit.

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.
