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 Poltimore.
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.

Poltimore is a village in Val-des-Monts; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Poltimore is located at 45.7850°N, 75.7069°W.
Poltimore rests within the rugged, forested terrain of Val-des-Monts, defined by the enduring presence of the Montagne du Lac de l'Île. It lies 39.7 km north of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 0°T), and is situated 13.5 km north of Val-des-Monts. The land surrounding Poltimore rises in rocky folds, where the light at dusk catches the sharp edges of granite, turning the horizon a bruised, metallic purple. Lac McGarry sits quietly just a kilometer away, its dark surface reflecting the dense canopy of trees that press against the water’s edge. While the Rivière du Lièvre flows steadily seven kilometers from the heart of the settlement, the weight of the landscape feels centered on the silence of the woods and the hidden hollows between the slopes. Even when the air turns crisp and carries the scent of damp pine, the geography remains a steadfast companion to those who walk its paths. The history of Poltimore is rooted in the hard labor of those who cleared these hills, relying on the timber trade and the slow, demanding work of small-scale agriculture. Life here moves according to the seasons, with residents accustomed to the demands of a climate that shifts abruptly from the thaw of spring to the deep freeze of winter. Beyond the immediate clearing, the distant roar of Les Grandes Chutes, located eight kilometers away, provides a constant, low-frequency pulse that underscores the stillness of the surrounding bush. Poltimore retains a character forged by isolation and self-reliance, where the daily routines of the people are as predictable as the pull of the seasons against the enduring stone of the Montagne du Lac de l'Île.
Poltimore s'étend sur les terres hautes des Collines-de-l'Outaouais, là où le relief accidenté dicte une vie attentive aux nuances du terrain. À l'approche du crépuscule, la lumière décline avec une lenteur particulière sur la Montagne du Lac de l'Île, baignant les fermes et les boisés d'une teinte cuivrée qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. La proximité du Lac McGarry, situé à peine à un kilomètre, imprègne l'air d'une fraîcheur humide, tandis que le grondement lointain des Grandes Chutes, à huit kilomètres, impose un rythme sourd à la quiétude environnante. Plus loin, la Rivière du Lièvre serpente à travers le paysage, dessinant une frontière naturelle qui a longtemps guidé les pas des premiers colons et les échanges de bois. Poltimore conserve cette humilité des terres agricoles où le travail de la terre demeure une réalité tangible, loin des agitations urbaines. Ici, la vie s'organise selon les exigences du climat et des saisons, dans un silence rompu seulement par le vent qui caresse les sommets. Cette contrée, par sa géographie austère et ses eaux calmes, maintient une existence discrète, préservant une identité façonnée par les éléments et le labeur quotidien des habitants qui ont choisi de bâtir leur foyer sous ce ciel changeant.
