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 Paugan Falls.
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.

Paugan Falls is a hamlet in Low; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Paugan Falls is located at 45.8069°N, 75.9344°W.
Paugan Falls commands a stretch of the Rivière Gatineau where the water gathers its weight against the rugged terrain of the Montagne du Lac de l'Île. It lies 45.6 km north-north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 338°T), and is situated 1.6 km south-east of Low. The air here holds a distinct, metallic sharpness at dusk, carrying the cold clarity of the current as it spills over the rock. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Grace offers a quiet counterpoint to the persistent, low-frequency hum of the river, which shapes the physical boundaries of the land. In the transition between seasons, the light flattens against the dark stone, revealing the stark, unadorned geometry of the shoreline where the forest meets the water’s edge. Paugan Falls carries the industrial legacy of the Rivière Gatineau, where the harnessing of water power defined the growth of the region. The economy has long been anchored by the utility of this flow, grounding the daily lives of those who work near the river in the mechanics of generation and the maintenance of essential infrastructure. Life in Low proceeds with a deliberate focus on the practicalities of the landscape, where the seasonal cycles of the woods and the water dictate the pace of the day. Even now, the presence of the water remains the primary force, a constant, moving neighbor that defines the character of Paugan Falls and the surrounding valley.
Paugan Falls s'impose sur les rives de la Rivière Gatineau avec une présence qui impose le respect, là où l'eau sculpte le paysage dans un mouvement perpétuel. La lumière décline doucement sur la Montagne du Lac de l'Île, étirant des ombres longues sur les terrains accidentés qui définissent le caractère de la région. À peine à deux kilomètres de là, le Lac Grace offre une quiétude minérale, agissant comme un miroir immobile pour le ciel changeant. L'histoire de Paugan Falls demeure indissociable de la force motrice de la Rivière Gatineau, dont le débit a longtemps dicté le rythme des travaux et la subsistance des habitants. Ici, le travail et la terre se rencontrent dans une simplicité brute, loin des agitations urbaines, dans une zone où le climat imprime sa marque sur les bois et les affleurements rocheux. Les journées s'écoulent selon une logique dictée par la géographie escarpée et la proximité immédiate de ces eaux sombres et puissantes. Ceux qui habitent les abords de la Rivière Gatineau connaissent le poids de cette force naturelle qui a façonné le développement industriel du secteur. La sérénité qui émane du Lac Grace, combinée à l'imposante stature de la Montagne du Lac de l'Île, confère à Paugan Falls une identité singulière, marquée par une relation directe et sans artifice avec les éléments sauvages qui composent son environnement quotidien.

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.
