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 Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu.
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.

Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu is a locality in Litchfield; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu is located at 45.6364°N, 76.6831°W.
Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu asserts its presence within the rugged heights of the Montagne Corriveau, where the land rises sharply above the turbulent currents of the Ottawa River. It lies 15.3 km west-north-west of Shawville, QC (from Shawville, QC: bearing 284°T), and is situated 15.5 km east of Cobden. The water here moves with a restless, muscular energy, pressing against the stone banks with a sound that shifts from a low, insistent hum to a sharp roar depending on the season’s melt. Close by, the still, dark surface of Lac du Rocher-Fendu offers a stark contrast to the churning rapids, holding the reflection of the clouds in a quiet, glass-like stillness. The light at dusk settles heavily on the granite outcrops, turning the grey rock into a deep, bruised violet that feels as ancient as the river itself. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the terrain remains wild and demanding, holding a character that is defined more by the persistence of the forest than the reach of human industry. Life in Litchfield and the broader Pontiac region carries the weight of a history built upon the timber trade and the seasonal pulse of the Ottawa River. While the McKay Chutes sit fifteen kilometers away as a reminder of the river’s power, the local economy continues to find its footing among the hills and the scattered reaches of the countryside. Residents often look toward the Ottawa River Provincial Park, located nine kilometers away, as a point of contact with the natural world that dominates their daily horizon. The air here holds a crisp, biting clarity, smelling faintly of pine needles and damp stone, a scent that remains unchanged even as the years pass. In Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu, the days are measured by the shifting intensity of the current and the way the shadows lengthen across the Montagne Corriveau, marking a quiet existence that asks little more from the world than what the land provides.
Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu déploie son existence singulière sur les flancs escarpés de la Montagne Corriveau, là où l’air se charge d’une humidité vive provenant de la rivière Ottawa. Les eaux tumultueuses sculptent le lit minéral avec une persistance ancienne, tandis que le Lac du Rocher-Fendu, voisin immédiat, offre un miroir immobile à la lumière déclinante du soir. À quinze kilomètres de là, le fracas lointain des McKay Chutes semble rythmer le labeur des terres agricoles avoisinantes, rappelant aux habitants la force indomptable de ce terrain accidenté du Pontiac. Les résidents observent le passage des jours avec une sobriété qui rappelle la rudesse des hivers, profitant de la proximité du parc provincial Ottawa River pour goûter à une nature restée sauvage et indomptée. L’héritage de Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu se transmet par le travail acharné sur ces sols ingrats, une fidélité aux cycles de la terre qui façonne le caractère de ses occupants. Dans la quiétude crépusculaire, le relief de la Montagne Corriveau se découpe contre un horizon infini, affirmant la présence discrète mais indéniable de Rapides-du-Rocher-Fendu dans ce paysage où chaque rocher semble raconter une histoire de patience et de résistance face au courant incessant.
