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 Linton.
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.

Linton is a locality in Linton; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Linton is located at 47.2594°N, 72.2447°W.
Linton rests quietly along the banks of the Rivière Batiscan, where the water carries a constant, low-frequency hum against the stones. It lies 29.5 km south-west of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 225°T), and is situated 45.2 km east-south-east of La Tuque. The Rivière Batiscan dictates the pace of existence here, its dark current pulling the eye toward the horizon as the light fades into a bruised, violet dusk. Only a kilometer away, the stillness of Lac Bélinda offers a sharp contrast to the moving river, its surface acting as a silver mirror for the surrounding timber. The air in Linton tastes of pine needles and damp earth, a scent that clings to the lungs long after the sun has retreated behind the trees. Life in Linton grew from the necessity of navigating the rugged terrain and the demands of the timber industry that once defined the regional economy. While the heavy work of the mills has shifted, the character of the people remains rooted in the practical demands of a landscape that does not yield easily to human ambition. Traditions here are kept in the quiet maintenance of homes and the seasonal patterns of the woods, where the arrival of winter brings a profound, heavy silence. Lac Bélinda and the Rivière Batiscan serve as the primary landmarks of a geography that demands respect, ensuring that the daily lives of those in Linton remain closely attuned to the shifting moods of the water and the encroaching forest.
Linton déploie ses modestes habitations le long des méandres vigoureux de la Rivière Batiscan, là où le courant dessine une frontière naturelle entre la forêt dense et les terres travaillées par les générations. L'air y possède une fraîcheur singulière, chargée de l'humidité qui monte du sol et du murmure constant de l'eau contre les roches moussues. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, le Lac Bélinda offre une étendue d'une immobilité profonde, miroir sombre où le ciel du soir vient déposer ses teintes de cuivre et de violet. Linton conserve une allure de quiétude laborieuse, héritée des temps où l'exploitation forestière dictait le rythme des jours, imposant une discipline rigoureuse au milieu de cette nature sauvage. Les demeures, dispersées avec une sobriété toute pratique, semblent attendre le retour des hommes qui connaissent chaque pli du terrain et chaque caprice du climat local. Le soir, quand la lumière décline sur les rives de la Rivière Batiscan, le silence s'installe, interrompu seulement par le bruissement du vent dans les conifères. Ici, le quotidien s'accorde aux exigences d'une terre exigeante, exigeant une patience que seule la proximité du Lac Bélinda permet de cultiver.
