This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Leach Lake, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. 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 Leach Lake.
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.

Leach Lake is a hamlet in Thorne; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Leach Lake is located at 45.7947°N, 76.4828°W.
Leach Lake rests within the rugged terrain of the Pontiac, a quiet basin defined by the granite bones of the Canadian Shield. It lies 20.4 km east-south-east of Fort-Coulonge, QC (from Fort-Coulonge, QC: bearing 105°T), and is situated 11.1 km north-east of Campbell's Bay. The water holds a stillness that mirrors the surrounding forest, where the light at dusk settles in heavy, amber layers against the dark silhouettes of the trees. Nearby, the Crique à Bernard traces a narrow path through the woods, while the Chutes Coulonge roar with a force that contrasts sharply with the placid surface of the lake. The land here feels ancient and patient, holding its breath under the vast, open skies that define this part of the province. The history of Leach Lake remains tied to the hard, honest labor of the logging and agricultural industries that shaped the settlement of Thorne. Local families maintain a connection to the land that persists through the changing seasons, valuing a life that favors endurance over speed. While Ottawa River Provincial Park offers a broader perspective on the region’s natural scale, the immediate surroundings of Leach Lake provide a sense of seclusion and grounded presence. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate intention, marked by the simple sounds of wind moving through the pines and the seasonal rhythms of a landscape that demands respect.
Leach Lake s'étire dans une langueur tranquille, dissimulé par les ondulations du terrain qui caractérisent cette partie du Pontiac. À l'approche du crépuscule, la lumière s'attarde sur les eaux calmes de Leach Lake, transformant la surface en un miroir d'argent mat où s'éteignent les dernières ardeurs du jour. Non loin de Button de Pois, le sol déploie ses textures rugueuses de roc et de terre sombre, rappelant la ténacité des premiers défricheurs venus bâtir une existence sur ces terres ingrates mais généreuses en silence. La vie locale suit le rythme lent des travaux agricoles et forestiers, une habitude façonnée par les éléments qui imposent leur loi aux habitants. À seize kilomètres, la Crique à Bernard serpente avec une discrétion presque furtive, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Coulonge, situées à dix-huit kilomètres, semble ponctuer la respiration profonde de la forêt. Plus loin, à vingt kilomètres, le parc provincial Ottawa River marque une limite naturelle, offrant une vaste perspective sur la puissance du fleuve. L'air y est pur, chargé de cette odeur de sapin et de terre humide propre aux matins clairs, soulignant la solitude apaisante de ces espaces où chaque arbre et chaque pierre conservent leur place immuable, loin des agitations du monde moderne.

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.
