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 Minton.
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.

Minton is a hamlet in Hatley; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Minton is located at 45.2919°N, 71.9847°W.
Minton rests quietly against the rise of the Colline Haskell, a landscape defined by the persistent, cooling influence of the nearby elevations. It lies 13.0 km east-north-east of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 77°T), and is situated 14.4 km south-south-west of Sherbrooke. The air here holds a distinct crispness, especially as the late afternoon light deepens the shadows along the slopes, turning the surrounding greenery into a study of muted earth tones. While the Rivière Coaticook winds its way through the lower reaches some 6 km distant, the terrain around Minton maintains a sturdy, terrestrial character, anchored by the presence of Lac Magog only 5 km away. The distant silhouette of Parc national du Mont-Orford, visible 19 km off on the horizon, provides a grand, permanent backdrop to the modest, rolling fields that define the immediate view. The history of Minton remains tied to the agricultural rhythms of Hatley, where the land has long dictated the pace of work and the habits of those who dwell upon it. The local economy relies on these fertile stretches and the careful stewardship of the soil, a tradition that has persisted even as the nearby Les Cascades, situated 6 km away, continues to draw those seeking a moment of natural stillness. Life in Minton moves with a deliberate, quiet grace, preferring the steady cycles of the seasons over the haste of larger centers. Whether it is the seasonal harvest or the maintenance of the homesteads, Minton preserves a sense of autonomy, standing as a quiet participant in the broader life of Memphrémagog.
Minton s'étire sur les terres vallonnées de Hatley, là où la lumière déclinante du soir accroche les reliefs pour révéler la topographie singulière de la Colline Haskell. Dans ce secteur du Québec, le paysage se déploie avec une retenue silencieuse, façonnant un quotidien rythmé par la terre et le travail agricole qui définit depuis longtemps le caractère de ces arpents. À quelques encablures, la Rivière Coaticook poursuit son cours paisible, tandis que les eaux du Lac Magog conservent une fraîcheur minérale sous le ciel changeant. La proximité des Cascades apporte une ponctuation sonore à la quiétude environnante, rappelant la présence constante d'une nature sauvage mais familière, adoucie par l'éloignement relatif du Parc national du Mont-Orford qui ferme l'horizon de sa masse imposante. Minton préserve une identité façonnée par cette géographie discrète, où chaque rangée de culture et chaque sentier tracé sur le sol rappellent les efforts de ceux qui ont défriché ces espaces. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de l'humidité des vallées et du souffle qui descend des hauteurs boisées, invitant à une contemplation simple des horizons ouverts. Ici, la vie se mesure à la patience du climat et à la persistance des saisons, liant Minton à son sol avec une fidélité qui ignore les agitations des grands centres.
