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 Pointe-Fortune.
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.

Pointe-Fortune is a municipality in Pointe-Fortune; Vaudreuil-Soulanges, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pointe-Fortune is located at 45.5618°N, 74.3813°W.
Pointe-Fortune rests upon the quiet margins of the Rivière des Outaouais, where the earth yields to the expansive presence of Lac des Deux Montagnes. It lies 11.0 km south-south-west of Lachute, QC (from Lachute, QC: bearing 198°T), and is situated 12.9 km south of Brownsburg-Chatham. The land around Pointe-Fortune rises toward the rugged silhouette of Mont Oscar, grounding the village in a landscape defined by water and stone. As dusk settles, a singular, cool light clings to the surface of the river, softening the edges of the shoreline where the current pulls steadily toward the horizon. The air here holds the damp, metallic scent of the deep water, a persistent reminder of the vast basin that stretches eastward. Those who linger near the banks witness the sky turning a bruised violet, reflecting off the Rivière des Outaouais until the water and the heavens become indistinguishable in the fading glow. The history of Pointe-Fortune lingers in the modest architecture of its older homes, which stand as quiet observers of a transition between the rural interior and the bustling corridors of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region. While the local economy has shifted from its early reliance on the river as a vital artery for transport, the life of the village stays aligned with the seasonal cycles of the landscape. Residents maintain a pace that follows the turn of the seasons, often looking toward the distant silhouette of Parc national d'Oka when the wind shifts from the east. Despite the proximity to larger centres, Pointe-Fortune keeps a guarded, solitary character, defined by the stark beauty of the river and the imposing, silent mass of Mont Oscar standing watch over the valley.
Pointe-Fortune s'étire avec une patience minérale le long des rives de la Rivière des Outaouais, là où le courant semble ralentir pour épouser la courbe du terrain. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les eaux du Lac des Deux Montagnes, baignant les façades anciennes d'une clarté nacrée qui souligne le relief discret du Mont Oscar. Autrefois carrefour de transit où les marchandises et les hommes transitaient par le traversier, Pointe-Fortune conserve aujourd'hui une quiétude héritée de son passé de port de passage, ses terres agricoles se déployant avec une régularité paisible sous un ciel vaste. Le souffle du vent, chargé d'une humidité douce, rappelle la proximité de la Rivière des Outaouais, dont les méandres ont façonné l'identité de ce site frontalier depuis sa fondation. À mesure que l'ombre s'allonge depuis le Mont Oscar, le silence s'installe, interrompu seulement par le clapotis contre les quais vieillissants. Les résidents observent ce paysage inchangé, cette étendue d'eau qui s'ouvre vers l'horizon, offrant une perspective sur le Parc national d'Oka niché dans le lointain. Ici, la géographie dicte le rythme des journées, imposant une présence constante de l'élément liquide qui délimite et définit chaque parcelle de ce territoire singulier.
