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 Pointes-à-Émile.
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 Pointes-à-Émile is a locality in Stornoway; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Pointes-à-Émile is located at 45.7364°N, 71.1328°W.
Les Pointes-à-Émile rests amidst the rugged granite-hewn terrain of Stornoway, where the land rises to meet the Colline Brousseau. It lies 26.5 km north-west of Lac-Mégantic, QC (from Lac-Mégantic, QC: bearing 313°T), and is situated 11.7 km south-south-west of Lambton. The Rivière Legendre carves a persistent path through the earth here, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of a sky that seems to press closer to the hills at dusk. Beyond the immediate rise of the terrain, the landscape holds a stillness that defines the region, characterized by thin soil and the persistent, quiet growth of boreal timber. To the north, Lac Legendre sits as a reflective anchor in the terrain, while the broader reaches of Parc national de Frontenac provide a vast, protected backdrop to the local geography. The economy of Les Pointes-à-Émile draws its character from the hard-won traditions of the Eastern Townships, where agriculture and forest management have long dictated the pace of human activity. Families here maintain a connection to the land that is measured in the seasonal clearing of stone and the tending of hardy crops, a practice that has persisted through generations of shifting industry. While the presence of major institutions remains absent, the cultural identity of the area is found in the small, deliberate actions of its inhabitants, who navigate the slopes and riverbanks with an ingrained familiarity. Life follows the cooling of the air and the lengthening shadows cast by the Colline Brousseau, ensuring that the daily experience of Les Pointes-à-Émile stays rooted in the physical demands of the terrain.
Les Pointes-à-Émile s’étirent dans la lumière basse de Stornoway, là où le sol du Granit conserve une rugosité minérale héritée des âges. Le regard se porte naturellement vers la Colline Brousseau, dont la masse calme domine les terres agricoles et les boisés environnants, veillant sur le cours tranquille de la Rivière Legendre. Les eaux de cette rivière serpentent avec une constance patiente, offrant aux habitants une présence fluide qui rythme les travaux des champs et les silences du crépuscule. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Legendre attend, miroir immobile sous un ciel souvent changeant, tandis que plus loin, le Parc national de Frontenac dessine une frontière naturelle de forêts denses et de reliefs protégés. Les Pointes-à-Émile vivent de cette terre austère et généreuse, une contrée où l’air semble plus pur à mesure que le soleil décline derrière les ondulations du terrain. Ici, la vie s’ordonne selon la rudesse des hivers et la brièveté des étés, perpétuant une habitude de labeur et de respect pour les éléments. Rien ne presse dans ce paysage aux nuances de granit et de terre sombre, où chaque détour de chemin révèle la ténacité de ceux qui ont choisi d’habiter ces marges, entre le murmure de la Rivière Legendre et la silhouette immuable de la Colline Brousseau.
