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 Lawrence Colony.
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.

Lawrence Colony is a hamlet in Newport; Le Haut-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lawrence Colony is located at 45.4172°N, 71.4156°W.
Lawrence Colony rests within the folds of a quiet, rolling landscape dominated by the prominent rise of Le Pain de Sucre. It lies 18.7 km west-south-west of Secteur de Franceville, QC (from Secteur de Franceville, QC: bearing 247°T), and is situated 9.1 km south-east of Bury. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, especially as the late afternoon light deepens the shadows against the rising slopes, casting a golden hue over the fields that transition into denser woodland. While the Rivière Eaton Nord courses through the lower ground some 7 km away, the terrain maintains a steady, elevated composure that defines the character of the land. Further out, the presence of Lac Batley at 14 km and the expansive reaches of Parc national du Mont-Mégantic at 20 km provide a sense of vast, protected space that anchors the horizon. Life in Lawrence Colony persists with a focus on the land and the endurance of its seasons. The economy remains rooted in the traditional rhythms of agriculture and forestry, pursuits that have sustained families in Newport and Le Haut-Saint-François for generations. Evenings in Lawrence Colony are marked by the cooling of the earth, a time when the hum of machinery fades and the stillness of the surrounding hills settles over the homesteads. The local traditions carry the weight of a quiet resilience, observed in the methodical care given to the orchards and the careful stewardship of the timber lots that define the edges of the property lines.
Lawrence Colony s’étire sur les terres vallonnées de Newport, là où la lumière déclinante du soir accroche les reliefs du Pain de Sucre pour y déposer une lueur cuivrée, presque minérale. Dans ce repli du Haut-Saint-François, le sol garde le souvenir d'une vocation agricole tenace, façonnée par des générations qui ont su lire la topographie avec une patience silencieuse. La Rivière Eaton Nord serpente à quelque distance, apportant une fraîcheur constante aux vallées encaissées, tandis que plus loin, le Lac Batley attend dans un calme absolu, miroir sombre reflétant les cimes boisées. L’horizon est dominé par la silhouette imposante du Parc national du Mont-Mégantic, dont la masse protectrice semble veiller sur le rythme lent et mesuré des travaux de la terre. À Lawrence Colony, la vie quotidienne se règle sur le souffle des vents descendant des hauteurs, une existence dépouillée de tout artifice où le travail manuel conserve sa dignité ancienne. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'odeur des terres labourées et de la résine des bois environnants, créant une atmosphère singulière qui lie les habitants à leur territoire. Ici, l’espace ne se mesure pas en distances, mais en moments de solitude partagée face à l'immensité naturelle qui entoure chaque demeure.
