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 Poularies.
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.

Poularies is a municipality in Poularies; Abitibi-Ouest, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Poularies is located at 48.6627°N, 78.9848°W.
Poularies sits quietly tucked amidst the rugged rise of the Collines Destor, where the land holds the steady, patient weight of the Abitibi-Ouest region. It lies 22.7 km south-east of La Sarre, QC (from La Sarre, QC: bearing 135°T), and is situated 10.3 km south of Macamic. The Rivière Maheux winds through this terrain, its dark, cool currents reflecting the spruce and alder that crowd the banks. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the water in a way that makes the shadows of the nearby Collines Destor seem to lengthen and reach across the fields. While Lac Fabiola remains a hidden pocket of stillness ten kilometers away, the broader horizon feels dominated by the vast, deep-rooted boreal presence that defines the northern limit of the settled landscape. Even the air here carries a crisp, sharpened clarity, as if the distance to the distant Parc national d'Aiguebelle, twenty-five kilometers removed, allows the wind to arrive clean and unburdened by the clamor of the south. The history of Poularies draws its strength from the settlers who cleared the stubborn clay soil to establish a life defined by agriculture and the steady harvest of the forest. This local economy persists as a quiet practice of self-reliance, with farmsteads and timber interests anchoring the daily movements of those who live within the reach of the Rivière Maheux. There is a distinct, understated pride in the way the residents maintain their properties, keeping the machinery and fences in a state of constant, functional readiness against the encroaching wild. During the harvest months, the scent of turned earth and dry hay rises to meet the cool evenings, grounding the people in a cycle that demands both endurance and a keen eye for the changing seasons. Life in Poularies moves with the pragmatic focus of a place that values the work done by hand, holding fast to the traditions established when the first roads were carved through the dense, unrelenting timber.
Poularies s'étire avec une patience minérale sous le ciel changeant de l'Abitibi-Ouest, là où le sol garde encore le souvenir des défricheurs venus bâtir une existence sur la rudesse de ces terres. À l'approche du soir, la lumière décline sur les Collines Destor pour baigner les champs de cette clarté dorée qui semble suspendre le souffle des bois. La Rivière Maheux serpente à travers le relief, traçant un chemin d'eau vive qui accompagne le quotidien des habitants, ces gens dont le labeur a forgé la persévérance agricole propre à ce secteur. À une dizaine de kilomètres, le Lac Fabiola offre ses eaux calmes aux reflets changeants, tandis que le Parc national d'Aiguebelle, situé à environ vingt-cinq kilomètres, impose sa présence sauvage sur l'horizon. Poularies conserve ce caractère humble des lieux bâtis par l'effort, où le silence n'est jamais vide, mais chargé de l'histoire des familles qui ont su apprivoiser cette géographie austère. L'air y est pur, souvent vif, portant en lui les effluves de la terre noire et de la forêt boréale, rappelant sans cesse la proximité immédiate de la nature. Chaque façade, chaque rangée d'arbres raconte une vie simple, tournée vers la terre et les saisons, loin de l'agitation des métropoles, dans une quiétude qui appartient en propre à ce coin de pays.
