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 Orford-sur-le-Lac.
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.

Orford-sur-le-Lac is a hamlet in Eastman; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Orford-sur-le-Lac is located at 45.3031°N, 72.2761°W.
Orford-sur-le-Lac rests tucked within the Colline aux Adrets, a reach of land where the horizon settles into deep, forested ridges. It lies 11.0 km west-north-west of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 293°T), and is situated 2.5 km east-south-east of Eastman. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity that sharpens the edges of the hardwoods, especially as the light leans long and amber against the slopes at day’s end. While Lac Orford sits a mere 1 km away, offering a quiet mirror to the sky, the landscape feels anchored by the presence of larger reaches nearby, such as Parc national du Mont-Orford located 6 km from the heart of the settlement. Further out, the Rivière aux Cerises winds its way through the lower terrain about 9 km distant, carving a path through the earth that has long defined the flow of the valley. Life in Orford-sur-le-Lac emerged from the slow clearing of thick timber, a process that transformed dense, rocky hillsides into a patchwork of homesteads and small-scale timber works. The economy has shifted from those early days of extraction toward a quiet, seasonal existence where the pace of the day is governed by the turning of the woods and the cold snap of the winters. Residents maintain a closeness to the land that feels deliberate, preferring the stillness of the Colline aux Adrets to the clamour of busier districts. Even now, the character of Orford-sur-le-Lac persists as a private retreat, a collection of homes gathered in the lee of the hills where the primary tradition remains the simple, steady observation of the passing seasons.
Orford-sur-le-Lac déploie ses habitations paisibles au sein de la Colline aux Adrets, là où le relief ondule avec une douceur qui semble retenir le souffle du vent. À seulement un kilomètre, le Lac Orford offre une nappe d'eau miroitante, captant les derniers éclats d'un soleil qui s'étire avant de sombrer derrière les sommets. La lumière, d'une limpidité rare, baigne les sentiers de cette contrée, tandis que la Rivière aux Cerises serpente à une distance mesurée, apportant une fraîcheur discrète dans le murmure de la végétation. Plus loin, à six kilomètres, le Parc national du Mont-Orford impose sa présence sylvestre, rappelant le caractère indompté des terres environnantes. Dans le quotidien d'Orford-sur-le-Lac, la vie suit une cadence dictée par la course des ombres sur les pentes et le changement de texture du sol sous les pas, alternant entre le gel et la terre grasse selon le rythme des mois. Le paysage, façonné par les glaces anciennes et la patience des cultivateurs, préserve une simplicité robuste qui définit l'identité du secteur de Eastman et Memphrémagog. Ici, la nature ne se contemple pas comme un décor figé, elle impose une respiration lente, invitant chacun à habiter le silence des vallons avec une humilité renouvelée chaque matin.
