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 McNeil's Crossing.
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.

McNeil's Crossing is a locality in Potton; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. McNeil's Crossing is located at 45.1083°N, 72.3731°W.
McNeil's Crossing rests in a quiet fold of the land near the Mont Hawk, where the air holds a cool, persistent clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the surrounding timber and stone. It lies 24.9 km south-west of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 226°T), and is situated 6.6 km north-north-east of Mansonville. The terrain here rises with a deliberate strength, marked by the presence of the Mont Hawk which watches over the passage as if holding the silence of the valley in its grip. To the east, the landscape draws moisture toward the Rivière Missisquoi Nord, which winds its way through the lower reaches about 10 km from the crossing, while the still, dark surface of Étang Johnson waits about 8 km away, reflecting the grey-blue hues of an approaching dusk. The light at this hour lingers on the hillsides, catching the high ridges and leaving the hollows in a deep, velvet shadow that defines the character of the soil. The history of McNeil's Crossing resides in the stubborn persistence of those who first cleared these slopes, finding a living in the timber and the thin, productive earth that defines the region. While the grander scale of Parc national du Mont-Orford lies about 28 km away, the local economy here maintains a smaller, more intimate scale, rooted in the seasonal cycles of the woods and the careful tending of the fields. Daily life carries the weight of a long-standing solitude, where the sound of the wind through the branches serves as the primary gauge of the passing hours. Residents move through their tasks with a steady, practiced motion, acknowledging the enduring influence of the geography that dictates the boundaries of their work and the quiet reach of their homes.
McNeil's Crossing déploie ses terres vallonnées sous le regard protecteur du Mont Hawk, offrant une quiétude que seul le passage des heures vient altérer. Dans ce secteur de Potton, le sol garde la mémoire des labeurs agricoles d'autrefois, lorsque les familles pionnières défrichaient les pentes pour y établir leurs modestes foyers. À quelques lieues, la Rivière Missisquoi Nord serpente avec une lenteur réfléchie, tandis que l'Étang Johnson recueille les premières lueurs du crépuscule, transformant la surface de l'eau en un miroir d'argent sombre. La lumière oblique, typique de cette latitude, caresse les reliefs accidentés et souligne la texture rugueuse des écorces qui bordent les chemins de terre. Bien que le Parc national du Mont-Orford impose sa présence majestueuse à une certaine distance, McNeil's Crossing conserve une identité propre, façonnée par l'isolement bienveillant de la vallée et le rythme immuable des travaux des champs. Ici, l'air porte souvent le parfum des foins coupés ou l'humidité fraîche des boisés proches. Le paysage ne cherche pas à séduire par des artifices, mais s'impose par une vérité brute, celle d'une terre exigeante où le ciel bas semble vouloir toucher les cimes, invitant les habitants à une vigilance silencieuse face à la nature sauvage qui les entoure.
