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 Les Boisés-Miner.
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.

Les Boisés-Miner is a residential area in Granby; La Haute-Yamaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Boisés-Miner is located at 45.3881°N, 72.7217°W.
Les Boisés-Miner rests quietly within the embrace of the landscape near the Mont Berthier, where the earth holds the cool, damp memory of the retreating ice. It lies 1.2 km south of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 178°T), and is situated 9.7 km north-west of Bromont. The terrain here gathers itself into low, rolling swells, a quiet transition between the harder stone of the heights and the lower, fertile valleys. To the northwest, the light catches the surface of Lac Boivin, which sits a mere 2 km away, acting as a polished mirror for the shifting clouds and the changing seasons. The air carries a crisp, terrestrial weight, smelling of pine needles and the damp, dark loam that defines this pocket of La Haute-Yamaska. While the Rivière Yamaska winds its path 8 km distant, the moisture it carries seems to linger in the atmosphere, softening the edges of the horizon as dusk settles over the trees. Even at a distance of 9 km, the presence of Parc national de la Yamaska exerts a subtle influence on the local character, encouraging a reverence for the wooded corridors that provide shelter to the local wildlife. The history of Les Boisés-Miner reflects the steady, industrious spirit of Granby, a place where the transition from agricultural roots to a modern economy has been marked by a deliberate, measured pace. Early settlers looked to the timber and the soil, establishing a connection to the land that persists in the way residents tend their gardens and maintain the wooded boundaries of their properties. The local economy benefits from a mix of manufacturing and service sectors, yet the daily life remains anchored by the quietude of the surrounding groves. Traditions here are often private, found in the shared work of maintaining the health of the local forest or in the quiet anticipation of the first frost. In the evenings, the stillness is absolute, save for the occasional call of a bird navigating the canopy, reminding those who live here that the wild remains a neighbor, ever present just beyond the edge of the manicured lawn.
Les Boisés-Miner s'étendent avec une sérénité paisible dans la Haute-Yamaska, là où le relief s'adoucit pour laisser place à une terre généreuse, nourrie par une histoire agricole qui a su se muer en un cadre de vie attentif à son environnement. À l'approche du crépuscule, la lumière décline sur le Mont Berthier, projetant des ombres allongées qui semblent épouser la topographie calme des lieux. À peine à deux kilomètres, le Lac Boivin attire le regard par ses eaux dormantes, tandis que la Rivière Yamaska, serpentant à huit kilomètres de là, imprègne l'air d'une fraîcheur humide que les résidents perçoivent sitôt que le vent se lève. Plus loin, à neuf kilomètres, le Parc national de la Yamaska impose sa présence forestière, offrant une toile de fond grandiose à la quiétude des environs. Les Boisés-Miner conservent cette essence tranquille, façonnée par un héritage de labeur et de respect pour les sols, loin du tumulte des grandes agglomérations. Ici, le quotidien s'écoule au rythme des arbres qui bruissent et de la terre qui respire sous les pas, offrant un refuge où le paysage, entre les reflets du lac et la silhouette lointaine du mont, demeure le témoin silencieux de chaque existence qui s'y déploie.
