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 Leclair.
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.

Leclair is a hamlet in Mansfield-et-Pontefract; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Leclair is located at 45.8956°N, 76.6592°W.
Leclair occupies a quiet prominence within the Montagne Découverte, where the land rises with a rugged, weathered permanence above the surrounding terrain. It lies 8.6 km north-east of Fort-Coulonge, QC (from Fort-Coulonge, QC: bearing 45°T), and is situated 23.7 km north-east of Beachburg. The Rivière Coulonge defines the character of Leclair, carving a path through the landscape that dictates the slow, deliberate movement of the seasons. Nearby, the Chutes Coulonge roar with a persistent energy that carries across the woods, while the stillness of Lac à Adam offers a stark, reflective contrast to the river's rush. As dusk settles, the light clings to the ridges of the Montagne Découverte, casting long shadows that emphasize the rough texture of the rocky ground. Even the air here feels sharpened by the proximity of such deep, ancient water, grounding the surroundings in a cold, clear clarity. The history of Leclair remains tied to the timber industry, a legacy of log drives that once dominated the Rivière Coulonge and shaped the local way of life. While the clamor of the early milling days has faded, the influence of the forest industry persists in the sturdy architecture and the quiet, industrious spirit of those who call the place home. Further afield, the Réserve écologique de la Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay stands as a protected reminder of the region’s natural heritage, preserving a wildness that exists just beyond the reach of modern expansion. Life in Leclair maintains a focus on the essential, where the demands of the terrain and the influence of the river continue to guide the daily habits of its residents.
Leclair s’étire avec une langueur tranquille sous la garde protectrice de la Montagne Découverte, là où les terres du Pontiac rencontrent la puissance ancienne de la Rivière Coulonge. Dans la lumière basse du crépuscule, l’air se charge d’une humidité subtile montant des eaux, enveloppant les demeures et les champs d’une clarté presque laiteuse. La vie à Leclair suit le rythme lent des courants, héritière d’une mémoire forestière où le bois et le labeur ont façonné le caractère des hommes. Non loin, le Lac à Adam repose dans un calme minéral, tandis que le grondement sourd des Chutes Coulonge rappelle aux habitants la force indomptable qui sculpte les roches depuis des siècles. Le silence de la Réserve écologique de la Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay, située à quelques kilomètres, souligne cette solitude choisie par ceux qui ont trouvé ici une terre de refuge. Les saisons marquent le sol d’une patine changeante, transformant les couleurs des feuillages en reflets cuivrés sur la surface des cours d’eau. Rien ici ne presse, tout s’accorde à la géographie rigoureuse du terrain, offrant une existence dépouillée de l’artifice des grandes villes pour ne garder que l’essentiel : le ciel, la pierre et l’eau.
