Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Pontiac.
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.

Pontiac is a municipality in Pontiac; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Pontiac is located at 45.5287°N, 76.0019°W.
Pontiac occupies a rugged stretch of land defined by the steep rise of the Escarpement d'Eardley, where the terrain shifts abruptly from low-lying fields to the granite-shouldered silence of the Canadian Shield. It lies 25.3 km west-north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 296°T), and is situated 12.9 km south-south-east of La Pêche. The air here holds a particular clarity, especially as the sun sinks behind the ridge, casting long, bruised shadows that deepen the green of the pines and sharpen the edges of the stone. Only three kilometres away, the stillness of Petit lac Lusk provides a mirror for the shifting clouds, while the Rivière Gatineau flows with a distant, steady persistence about 12 kilometres to the east. The geology of Pontiac dictates the movement of the light, trapping it against the rock face until the evening settles into a cool, blue quiet. Agriculture and forestry have long shaped the pace of life in Pontiac, grounding the local economy in the seasonal cycles of the earth and the timbered hillsides. Families here have tended to these fields for generations, balancing the demands of the land with a quiet resilience that persists through the heavy winters. The character of Pontiac emerges from this intersection of hard work and the persistent, wild presence of the Escarpement d'Eardley, which looms over the daily errands of residents like a watchful, indifferent elder. Despite the modern push of the nearby capital, the inhabitants maintain a focus on local trade and the stewardship of the woods, ensuring that the rhythm of the seasons remains the primary clock by which the day is measured.
Pontiac s’étire avec une noblesse tranquille sous la garde protectrice de l’escarpement d’Eardley, dont les parois rocheuses retiennent les dernières lueurs d’un soleil déclinant. Dans cet espace où le relief dicte sa loi, la terre semble respirer une mélancolie ancienne, celle des premiers défricheurs qui ont domestiqué ces sols pierreux. À quelques kilomètres, le silence est à peine troublé par la présence discrète du petit lac Lusk, miroir sombre niché dans le creux des collines, tandis que la rivière Gatineau poursuit sa course impérieuse vers des horizons lointains. La vie à Pontiac s’ordonne selon des gestes lents, hérités d’une tradition agricole tenace qui refuse de se laisser effacer par la modernité. Les champs, parés de teintes changeantes selon les heures, rappellent la rudesse et la beauté de ce terroir québécois où chaque pierre semble raconter l’obstination des hommes. L’air y est vif, chargé de cette fraîcheur forestière qui descend des hauteurs pour envelopper les habitations d’une caresse glacée. En observant ce paysage austère, on perçoit la force tranquille d’un lieu qui se suffit à lui-même, protégé par la barrière naturelle de l’escarpement et la proximité des eaux, affirmant une identité farouche, façonnée par une géographie exigeante.
