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 Philémon.
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.

Philémon is a hamlet in Grand-Remous; La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Philémon is located at 46.6561°N, 75.8508°W.
Philémon rests upon the rugged, enduring shore of Réservoir Baskatong, where the water often holds a slate-grey stillness that mirrors the heavy clouds of the Canadian Shield. It lies 29.1 km west-north-west of Mont-Laurier, QC (from Mont-Laurier, QC: bearing 294°T), and is situated 30.7 km west of Ferme-Neuve. The light at dusk here possesses a sharp, clean quality, clarifying the edges of the spruce and pine that crowd the waterline. While the Rivière Gatineau flows with a purposeful coldness about 6 km away, the local horizon remains defined by the vast, quiet presence of the reservoir. Further out, the Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain guards its own wild silence about 18 km away, preserving a landscape that has shifted little since the first footsteps pressed into the pine needles. Philémon serves as a quiet anchor within the broader reach of Grand-Remous and La Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, where the economy leans into the natural cycles of the forest and the seasonal movements of those drawn to the water. Life in Philémon follows the grain of the seasons, moving between the intense, short-lived warmth of summer and the deep, hushed endurance of winter. The land here does not demand attention; it simply exists, offering a space where the wind off the reservoir carries the scent of damp stone and ancient growth.
Philémon s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes du Réservoir Baskatong, là où les eaux sombres captent les derniers éclats d'un soleil déclinant pour les transformer en plaques d'argent liquide. Dans cet espace de Grand-Remous, le vent porte une humidité fraîche qui semble remonter des profondeurs de la terre, rappelant aux habitants la puissance silencieuse de ce bassin immense. À peine à six kilomètres, le courant discret de la Rivière Gatineau murmure son passage éternel, tandis que plus loin, vers les terres protégées de la Réserve écologique Rolland-Germain distante de dix-huit kilomètres, le silence des bois impose une sagesse ancienne. Philémon vit au rythme de cette étendue d'eau qui définit chaque horizon, influençant le quotidien de ceux qui habitent ces parages depuis que les forêts furent défrichées pour les besoins de l'exploitation forestière. Le sol, rocailleux et fier, soutient des structures simples qui semblent s'incliner devant la rudesse du climat, mais les gens conservent une chaleur humaine capable de défier les gelées précoces. La lumière, lorsqu'elle glisse sur la surface du Réservoir Baskatong, donne à Philémon une allure de halte suspendue entre le ciel et les tourbières, un espace de solitude choisie où chaque geste humain se mesure à l'immensité du paysage boréal.

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.
