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 Le Radar.
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 Radar is a hamlet in Saint-Sylvestre; Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Radar is located at 46.3272°N, 71.1531°W.
Le Radar stands as a solitary sentinel atop the high ground near the Colline Harvey, where the air thins and sharpens against the steep slopes of the Appalachian foothills. It lies 16.0 km south-west of Sainte-Marie, QC (from Sainte-Marie, QC: bearing 219°T), and is situated 12.6 km north-north-west of East Broughton. The landscape surrounding Le Radar is defined by the proximity of Lac du Radar, a body of water that mirrors the vast, shifting sky of Saint-Sylvestre, while the Rivière Filkars carves a path through the lower terrain, its cold currents hummed along by the persistent wind. At dusk, the light here loses its weight, washing the hills in a pale, bruised violet that clings to the crests long after the sun has slipped behind the horizon. The history of Le Radar is rooted in the strategic necessity of the mid-twentieth century, when the site served as a vital node in the defense of the continent. Today, the economy of the surrounding Lotbinière region relies on the quiet endurance of agriculture and local industry, which proceed with a steady, pragmatic focus. The presence of Le Radar continues to mark the skyline, acting as a structural anchor that draws the eye toward the horizon, where the land meets the sky in a stark, unadorned line. Even as the seasons turn the fields from gold to the brittle, frozen grey of winter, the character of the site remains defined by its elevation and the enduring silence that settles over the Colline Harvey.
Le Radar domine les hauteurs de Saint-Sylvestre avec la prestance d'un gardien silencieux surveillant l'horizon de Lotbinière. Dressé à proximité immédiate de la Colline Harvey, cet édifice marque le paysage par sa silhouette singulière, héritage d'une époque où le ciel devenait un espace de vigilance constante. Les eaux de la Rivière Filkars s'écoulent dans les environs, dessinant un tracé calme qui semble ignorer l'agitation technique du passé. Au pied de ces reliefs, le Lac du Radar recueille les lueurs déclinantes du jour, offrant une surface immobile où se reflètent les changements subtils de l'atmosphère. L'air y est vif, chargé de cette fraîcheur particulière aux terres élevées qui surplombent la vallée. Ici, le travail agricole a façonné les pentes douces, alternant entre les champs ouverts et les zones où la forêt reprend ses droits avec une lenteur obstinée. Le Radar demeure une présence imposante, une sentinelle dont la fonction initiale s'est estompée pour laisser place à une curiosité historique, invitant les visiteurs à contempler la rudesse et la beauté de ce relief québécois. La rigueur du climat dicte le rythme des journées, imposant aux habitants une patience héritée des anciens, tandis que la lumière crépusculaire enveloppe la Colline Harvey d'une teinte dorée qui semble suspendre le monde dans une quiétude absolue.

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.
