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 Patterson.
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.

Patterson is a hamlet in Chelsea; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Patterson is located at 45.5961°N, 75.8822°W.
Patterson emerges from the rugged terrain of Chelsea as a quiet inflection in the landscape, tucked near the slopes of Mont Fortune. It lies 23.0 km north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 325°T), and is situated 9.2 km west-north-west of Cantley. The land here holds the cool, damp breath of the Rivière Gatineau, which carves a deliberate path through the valley, drawing the eye toward the horizon where the light turns thin and silver as dusk settles. Nearby, the presence of Lac Cascades introduces a sudden stillness, its surface mirroring the heavy, ancient quiet that clings to the surrounding timber and stone. Patterson shares in the legacy of Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, a region shaped by the persistent labor of those who once moved timber down the Rivière Gatineau to feed the industry of the growing capital. Today, the economy of Patterson reflects a transition toward a residential character, where the pace of life follows the seasonal shift of the trees rather than the frantic demands of the city. Residents find a particular beauty in the way the morning mist lingers against the rising ground of Mont Fortune, a sight that defines the daily experience of living close to the water and the woods. This corner of the world persists as a place of deliberate pauses, where the cold, clear air carries the weight of a long, settled history.
Patterson se déploie avec une retenue silencieuse sous le regard protecteur du Mont Fortune, là où les terres s'inclinent doucement vers les eaux sombres de la Rivière Gatineau. Ce territoire conserve la mémoire des anciens arpenteurs et des familles qui, par leur labeur, ont su apprivoiser le sol rocailleux des Collines-de-l'Outaouais. À quelques pas de là, le miroir du Lac Cascades capte les dernières lueurs d'un jour déclinant, prolongeant une clarté diaphane sur les crêtes environnantes. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de la fraîcheur humide qui remonte du courant, enveloppant les habitations d'une quiétude presque minérale. Patterson maintient un rythme de vie fidèle à ses origines rurales, où le travail de la terre a longtemps dicté le pas des journées, laissant aujourd'hui place à une harmonie discrète entre les demeures et la forêt dense. Les chemins serpentent le long des pentes, offrant des échappées visuelles sur les replis du relief qui modulent la lumière selon une géométrie naturelle. Ce coin de pays, loin des agitations, respire par le souffle lent de la Rivière Gatineau et la présence immuable du Mont Fortune, cultivant une identité singulière forgée par la proximité immédiate de ces éléments géographiques essentiels.

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.
