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 Le Dépôt-l'Orignal.
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.

Le Dépôt-l'Orignal is a resort area in Lac-Nilgaut; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Dépôt-l'Orignal is located at 46.4477°N, 77.2107°W.
Le Dépôt-l'Orignal occupies a rugged stretch of the Canadian Shield, defined by the enduring presence of the Montagne des Loups. It lies 47.0 km north-north-east of Deep River, QC (from Deep River, QC: bearing 20°T), and is situated 12.8 km south of L'Alligator. The terrain here holds a stark, quiet intensity, where the light at dusk clings to the granite ridges like a cooling embers. Nearby, Lac Patry rests in a hollow of dense timber, its surface often mirroring the stillness of the surrounding canopy. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of spruce and damp earth, a reminder of the wilder reaches that extend far beyond the reach of the axe. While the Rivière Noire flows through the wider region, its course remains a distant, murmuring presence some nine kilometers away, leaving Le Dépôt-l'Orignal to its own solitude. Historically, Le Dépôt-l'Orignal functioned as a vital node for the timber industry, serving as a collection point where the labor of the forest met the logistics of the trade. The economy of the Pontiac has long been dictated by the yield of the woods, a tradition that persists in the deliberate, steady work of those who know how to manage the land. Modern life here follows the seasonal rotation of the climate, with winters that demand resilience and summers that invite a brief, intense burst of growth. The character of the locale is defined by this reliance on the forest, a quiet persistence that ignores the noise of the outside world to focus on the immediate tasks of the day.
Le Dépôt-l'Orignal s'étire dans une solitude minérale, là où la terre du Pontiac semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière de fin de journée qui étire les ombres des pins jusqu'aux lisières du Lac Patry, distant d'à peine un kilomètre. Dans ce silence, la topographie se définit par la présence proche de la Montagne des Loups, dont la masse sombre impose une gravité tranquille au paysage environnant. L'air y possède une texture dense, chargée d'une humidité qui monte des sous-bois et des zones humides, tandis que la Rivière Noire, serpentant à neuf kilomètres de là, dicte un rythme lent aux terres forestières. Le Dépôt-l'Orignal conserve cette mémoire des chantiers forestiers d'autrefois, une époque où le bois était la mesure de toute chose et où le travail occupait chaque heure de clarté. Aujourd'hui, l'activité humaine s'efface devant l'immensité du terrain, laissant place à une existence humble où le vent transporte les fragrances de résine et de terre fraîche. Les habitations se fondent dans cette rudesse naturelle, sans chercher à dompter les reliefs, préférant épouser les courbes du sol avec une discrétion qui honore l'isolement géographique de la région.
