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 Rectory Hill.
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.

Rectory Hill is a locality in Inverness; L'Érable, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rectory Hill is located at 46.3203°N, 71.5194°W.
Rectory Hill rises with a quiet, steady resolve above the surrounding Inverness landscape, anchored by the shifting moods of the nearby Rivière Bécancour. It lies 30.7 km north-north-west of Thetford Mines, QC (from Thetford Mines, QC: bearing 327°T), and is situated 11.0 km east-north-east of Laurierville. The terrain here holds a stubborn, granite-edged grace, where the light at dusk catches the slopes of the Colline Harvey and turns the fields into muted shades of copper and bruised plum. Beyond the immediate rise, the land leans toward the sound of the Chutes Rouges, whose constant, low-frequency pulse provides a heartbeat for the valley. Even the air here feels seasoned, carrying the crisp, damp scent of deep soil and moving water that defines the character of this elevation. Rectory Hill maintains a connection to the cycles of the earth, its history rooted in the grit of those who first cleared the timber to make way for homesteads and hard-won harvests. While Lac McRea rests in the distance, the local economy continues to draw its strength from the surrounding fields and the enduring utility of the land. Life in Rectory Hill follows the turning of the seasons with a deliberate focus, valuing the permanence of stone walls and the steady work of the day. There is a distinct, unadorned beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the lower reaches of the slopes, reminding those who live here that the land remains the primary architect of their days.
Rectory Hill se déploie avec une discrétion altière sur les terres hautes de la municipalité d’Inverness, là où le relief ondule pour saluer la proximité de la Colline Harvey. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une texture particulière, une clarté dorée qui s’attarde sur les champs et les boisés avant de glisser vers les méandres de la Rivière Bécancour, dont le cours scande le rythme tranquille du paysage. À quelques kilomètres, le murmure des Chutes Rouges compose une présence sonore constante, tandis que les eaux plus calmes du Lac McRea, situé à environ huit kilomètres, semblent retenir le silence des collines environnantes. L’histoire de Rectory Hill demeure liée à la ténacité des premiers défricheurs ayant façonné ces sols, laissant derrière eux une architecture sobre qui s’intègre aux pentes douces. L’économie locale, longtemps nourrie par le labeur agricole et les ressources de la terre, conserve ce caractère humble et robuste, propre à ceux qui habitent les hauteurs. Les résidents observent le passage des heures avec une patience héritée des anciens, habitués à la rigueur climatique des Appalaches. Rectory Hill s’offre ainsi au regard comme une ligne de crête où le ciel semble plus proche, offrant aux voyageurs une halte privilégiée pour contempler l’immensité paisible de cette contrée québécoise.
