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 Norbestos.
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.

Norbestos is a locality in Saint-Rémi-de-Tingwick; Arthabaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Norbestos is located at 45.8189°N, 71.8439°W.
Norbestos rests within the quiet reach of the Butte à Tarzan, a land defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest. It lies 8.7 km east-north-east of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 58°T), and is situated 10.2 km south-east of Tingwick. The earth here holds a certain coolness, where the morning light catches the mist rising off the river to soften the sharp edges of the surrounding slopes. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain rises into elevations that offer a clear view of the changing seasons, while the distant, rushing presence of Chutes Fontainebleau occasionally carries on the wind. Lac Perkins sits further out in the quietude of the landscape, marking the periphery of a region that feels anchored to the deep, weathered stone of the Appalachian foothills. Industry once defined the pulse of Norbestos, drawing its name and purpose from the earth’s own mineral bounty. The legacy of extraction left behind a quiet, resilient character, where the architecture of work—once humming with the mechanical demands of the twentieth century—has settled into a stillness that mirrors the surrounding woods. Today, life in Saint-Rémi-de-Tingwick moves with a focus on the immediate, where the seasonal chores of the fields and the maintenance of the homestead take precedence over the rush of the modern world. Even now, the air in Norbestos retains a crisp, clean clarity, and the people carry themselves with a deliberate patience that suggests a long acquaintance with the soil and the slow, turning cycle of the year.
Norbestos déploie ses reliefs singuliers sur le Butte à Tarzan, là où la terre semble retenir le souffle des collines d'Arthabaska dans une langueur minérale. La Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest serpente à proximité, offrant à ses rives une clarté argentée qui capte les dernières lueurs du jour, tandis que l'air se rafraîchit avec une netteté presque tranchante. L'histoire de Norbestos demeure indissociable de son passé industriel, une mémoire qui persiste dans la texture même du sol et le silence qui enveloppe les vestiges de ses activités d'autrefois. À une distance de onze kilomètres, les Chutes Fontainebleau ponctuent le silence d'un murmure constant, alors que le Lac Perkins, plus lointain encore, ajoute une étendue d'ombre apaisante à cet horizon accidenté. Le quotidien se déploie ici avec la lenteur des choses qui ont trouvé leur équilibre entre la rudesse du climat et la douceur des vallons. Les habitants observent le passage des heures sous un ciel immense qui transforme la topographie en une succession de nuances changeantes, du gris sourd des matinées humides au velours sombre du crépuscule. Norbestos s'inscrit dans ce paysage avec une dignité sobre, portée par la constance d'un terrain qui refuse de s'effacer, rappelant à chaque instant la force tranquille de sa géographie unique.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
