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 Lyster.
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.

Lyster is a municipality in Lyster; L'Érable, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Lyster is located at 46.3716°N, 71.6156°W.
Lyster rests quietly along the banks of the Rivière Bécancour, where the earth holds the deep, cool moisture of the Appalachian foothills. It lies 34.7 km south-south-east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 164°T), and is situated 12.6 km south-south-west of Dosquet. The landscape unfolds in a series of quiet shifts, defined by the steady, dark flow of the river that shapes the local horizon. To the south, the terrain holds the memory of Chutes Rouges, situated about 6 km away, where the water gains a sudden, urgent voice before settling back into the wider, slower stretches of the valley. As the sun sinks toward the western rise, a particular amber light gathers in the hollows, turning the damp fields into bronze and making the air feel heavy with the scent of pine and silt. Further out, Lac Camille lies about 14 km away, a hidden mirror tucked into the topography that anchors the surrounding silence. History in Lyster centers on the long relationship between the inhabitants and the dense, surrounding timber, which once fueled the sawmills that gave the settlement its early purpose. The economy grew from the necessity of clearing the land and managing the flow of wood down the Rivière Bécancour, leaving behind a legacy of hard-won resilience that persists in the architecture of the older dwellings. Today, the pace of life maintains a deliberate focus on the seasonal turn, where the intensity of the work shifts with the frost and the thaw. Residents go about their morning tasks with the gravity of those who understand the weight of the winter, finding a stark beauty in the way the frost clings to the riverside reeds before the morning sun can claim them. Despite the modernization of local industry, Lyster retains a grounded quality, a sense of being firmly held by the river and the reach of the distant, forested hills.
Lyster déploie ses habitations sur les terres fertiles de la municipalité régionale de comté de L'Érable, là où la Rivière Bécancour trace un sillon paisible et nécessaire à travers le relief. La lumière du couchant se dépose avec une douceur particulière sur les toitures, transformant les façades en surfaces cuivrées tandis que le vent apporte une fraîcheur humide, rappelant la proximité des Chutes Rouges dont le grondement sourd, à six kilomètres de là, accompagne les songes des habitants. L'histoire de Lyster se confond avec le labeur de ceux qui, jadis, ont façonné ces espaces agricoles, bâtissant une économie robuste portée par le travail du bois et la culture des champs. Le Lac Camille, situé à quatorze kilomètres, semble veiller sur cette étendue comme une sentinelle tranquille, préservant le calme des après-midis où le silence n'est rompu que par le passage discret d'un train ou le bruissement des feuillages. Ici, la vie s'écoule avec une lenteur volontaire, héritière d'une ténacité héritée des pionniers qui ont su domestiquer ce sol pour en faire un foyer durable. Chaque rue de Lyster porte en elle une mémoire de labeur et de fierté, un attachement profond à cette géographie que la Rivière Bécancour continue de nourrir, indifférente aux heures qui passent sous un ciel immense.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude.
