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 Lochaber.
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.

Lochaber is a township municipality in Lochaber; Papineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lochaber is located at 45.6333°N, 75.2167°W.
Lochaber rests amidst the quiet elevations of the Canadian Shield, defined by the persistent rise of Quigley Hill. It lies 44.0 km north-east of Ottawa, QC (from Ottawa, QC: bearing 41°T), and is situated 15.5 km west of Papineauville. The landscape holds a deliberate stillness, where the cool air at dusk gathers against the slopes, softening the hard edges of the rock and the dense stands of timber. Near the horizon, the Rivière de la Petite Nation moves with a steady, low-frequency hum, while the hidden surface of Lac à Duguay reflects the shifting grey of the sky. The nearby Chutes du Moulin creates a singular, constant sound that anchors the surrounding woods, providing a focal point for the wilder reaches that extend toward the protected expanse of Parc national de Plaisance. Within this terrain, the light possesses a clarity that makes the earth feel close, as if the land itself were holding its breath against the approaching evening. Lochaber carries a history rooted in the slow, diligent work of clearing the forest and establishing homesteads upon the uneven ground. The local economy persists through a quiet endurance, balancing the labor of agriculture with the seasonal rhythms of the land that have persisted for generations. Residents maintain a steady focus on the immediate tasks of the day, moving between the fields and the woodlots with an efficiency born of long familiarity. This way of life values the tangible—the strength of a fence line, the quality of a harvest, and the shared knowledge of the trails that wind through the hills. While the modern world presses inward, Lochaber retains a stubborn, distinct character, defined by those who know how to read the changing weather and the subtle shift of seasons across the ridges.
Lochaber déploie ses étendues paisibles sous une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le mouvement des heures sur les terres fertiles de Papineau. À proximité de la colline Quigley, le relief s'adoucit en ondulations douces, offrant un horizon où le ciel se mêle aux frondaisons des boisés. La vie s'organise autour de cette géographie intime, marquée par la présence proche du Lac à Duguay dont les eaux calmes captent les reflets changeants du crépuscule. Non loin, la Rivière de la Petite Nation serpente à travers le territoire, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes du Moulin souligne la vitalité naturelle de ce secteur. Le Parc national de Plaisance enrichit ces environs d'une biodiversité protégée, invitant les regards vers des espaces où la terre garde le souvenir des premiers défrichements agricoles. Lochaber conserve ainsi une sérénité particulière, portée par le souffle de l'air qui circule entre les champs et les sommets arrondis. Chaque sentier, chaque chemin de terre, dessine une trajectoire familière pour ceux qui habitent ce sol, cultivant une simplicité quotidienne loin des agitations urbaines. Le paysage se révèle avec pudeur, offrant une tranquillité qui se savoure dans la texture même des sols et dans la persistance d'un rythme agricole hérité des générations passées.
