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 Old Chelsea.
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.

Old Chelsea is a village in Chelsea; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Old Chelsea is located at 45.5033°N, 75.8125°W.
Old Chelsea rests within the rise of the Mont Fortune, a shoulder of land that holds the evening light long after the shadows have claimed the lower ground. It lies 11.5 km north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 317°T), and is situated 5.8 km south-south-west of Cantley. The air here carries a crisp, mineral clarity, sharpening the edges of the stone foundations and the timber frames that define the village. A short distance away, the waters of Lac Kingsmere mirror the shifting moods of the sky, while the distant, insistent pull of the Rivière Gatineau shapes the broader reach of the horizon. As the sun dips, the light turns a bruised gold, clinging to the slopes of the Mont Fortune and highlighting the persistent, quiet endurance of the architecture against the encroaching wild. Settled by pioneers who sought purchase on these rocky heights, Old Chelsea grew through the labor of those who cleared the timber and worked the land long before the modern turn. The local economy persists in the interplay between those who serve the passing traveler and those who maintain the quiet industry of the hills. Tradition lingers in the simple, sturdy hearths of the older homes, where the warmth of a wood fire remains the primary defense against the bite of the northern seasons. Near to the thunderous, mist-heavy descent of Rideau Falls, the village holds to its own pace, a steady accumulation of days marked by the turning of the seasons and the slow, deliberate work of those who call these heights home.
Old Chelsea s’étire avec une grâce tranquille sur les pentes du Mont Fortune, là où la terre semble retenir le souffle des premiers colons qui ont défriché ces reliefs escarpés. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les parois rocheuses, illuminant les demeures historiques dont l'architecture raconte une persévérance silencieuse face aux hivers rigoureux de la Rivière Gatineau. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Kingsmere offre une étendue d'eau dormante, miroir sombre des frondaisons qui ceinturent les sentiers fréquentés par les marcheurs en quête de silence. L'économie locale, autrefois nourrie par les travaux des champs et le labeur forestier, s'est transformée en un espace d'accueil où les saveurs artisanales et les galeries ponctuent la vie quotidienne. L'air y est vif, chargé des effluves de pins et d'une humidité légère montant du cours d'eau voisin, rappelant que la nature impose ici son rythme propre, loin de l'agitation des grandes cités. Old Chelsea préserve ce caractère singulier, une harmonie discrète entre les sommets du Mont Fortune et les plaines plus basses, tandis que les chutes Rideau, bien qu'éloignées, murmurent à l'imaginaire des voyageurs la puissance indomptable des eaux environnantes. Dans ce cadre, chaque pas sur le sol rocailleux résonne avec une dignité ancienne, celle d'une terre façonnée par le labeur et le respect des saisons.
