Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Mont-Howard.
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.

Mont-Howard is a residential area in Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard; Les Pays-d'en-Haut, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Mont-Howard is located at 45.9747°N, 74.3467°W.
Mont-Howard rises from the rugged terrain of Le Calvaire as a silent sentinel of granite and hemlock. It lies 25.2 km south-east of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 129°T), and is situated 9.5 km south-south-west of Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts. The slopes of Mont-Howard catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, sharp shadows across the dense forest that slopes toward the hidden depths of Lac à la Couleuvre. Just a kilometer away, the surface of Lac à la Couleuvre holds the stillness of the high woods, reflecting the changing seasons while the Rivière du Nord continues its patient transit eleven kilometers distant. The air here holds a crisp, mineral quality, smelling of damp cedar and stone, grounding the high ground in a solitude that persists regardless of the hour. The human history of Mont-Howard follows the persistent push of settlement into the hills of Les Pays-d'en-Haut, where the land once demanded a heavy toll from those seeking to carve a life from the dense timber. Today, the economy of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard draws from the quiet resilience of its inhabitants, who maintain a lifestyle defined by the steep inclines and the seasonal cycle of the Canadian shield. Within the shadow of Mont-Howard, the pace of life favors the deliberate, whether in the maintenance of traditional wooden homes or the quiet observation of the shifting canopy. The local character draws strength from this geography, where the proximity of the wilderness ensures that the demands of the forest remain as relevant as the traditions of the village itself.
Le Mont-Howard s'élève avec une discrétion altière dans Le Calvaire, imposant sa stature rocailleuse sur un horizon où la terre semble retenir son souffle. À peine à un kilomètre de là, le Lac à la Couleuvre miroitant sous le soleil déclinant offre une surface d'argent liquide, capturant les dernières lueurs d'un jour qui refuse de s'éteindre tout à fait. La présence de la Rivière du Nord, serpentant à onze kilomètres, insuffle à l'air une fraîcheur constante qui imprègne les boisés environnants et dicte le rythme paisible des journées. Les premiers colons, attirés par la rigueur exigeante du relief, ont façonné un quotidien où le labeur se mesure à la pente et à la roche, forgeant un caractère tenace qui habite encore les lieux. Le Mont-Howard observe ce déploiement de pins et d'érables, gardien silencieux d'une mémoire que les anciens transmettent par le simple geste de regarder vers le sommet. L'économie locale, longtemps tournée vers une exploitation respectueuse des ressources forestières, se transforme aujourd'hui en un refuge pour ceux qui cherchent la profondeur du silence. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les parois escarpées, révélant une beauté dépouillée, presque sauvage, qui appartient exclusivement à ce coin de terre tourné vers le ciel.
