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 Rooney.
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.

Rooney is a locality in Thorne; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rooney is located at 45.7889°N, 76.4481°W.
Rooney sits nestled within the rugged, pine-shadowed terrain of Thorne, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the Canadian Shield. It lies 20.9 km north of Shawville, QC (from Shawville, QC: bearing 9°T), and is situated 13.0 km east-north-east of Campbell's Bay. The air here carries a sharp, resinous clarity, especially near the Button de Pois, where the rocky outcrops catch the low, bruising light of late afternoon. Lac Woods sits just a kilometer away, its surface often mirroring the stillness of a sky that seems to press closer to the earth here than elsewhere. The landscape is defined by these small, hidden basins and the ancient, stubborn stone that dictates the slow movement of the water. Even when the wind rises, Rooney remains anchored by the dense, silent presence of the surrounding forest, which guards the perimeter of the township with a watchful, evergreen indifference. The history of Rooney is tied to the hard labor of clearing a life from the dense Pontiac bush, a legacy of settlement that lingers in the way the local roads skirt the stubborn granite. While the economy has shifted away from the intensive logging that once defined the region, the character of the place persists in the wood-smoke scent of autumn mornings and the practical, spare architecture of the homesteads. The Crique à Bernard traces a winding path through the deeper brush some nineteen kilometers away, a reminder of the water’s persistent work in carving the land. Though the bustle of the Ottawa River Provincial Park lies twenty-three kilometers distant, Rooney prefers the seclusion of its own quiet perimeter, where the pace is measured by the changing shadows on the rock rather than the turning of a clock.
Rooney s’étire sur les terres hautes de Thorne, là où le sol semble retenir la mémoire des défricheurs venus dompter une nature austère et silencieuse. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Woods miroite sous un ciel immense, ses eaux tranquilles offrant un repos nécessaire aux bois environnants. Le paysage, marqué par la proximité de Button de Pois, exhale une odeur de terre humide et de résineux, tandis que la Crique à Bernard serpente à travers les replis du terrain, dessinant une frontière naturelle qui rythme le pas des habitants. À quelques kilomètres, le parc provincial Ottawa River impose sa présence majestueuse, influençant la clarté de l’air qui descend vers Rooney avec une fraîcheur limpide. Les journées s’écoulent dans une simplicité rigoureuse, dictées par le travail des champs et le cycle immuable des récoltes qui ont façonné l’identité de ce secteur du Pontiac. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde sur les granges anciennes et les chemins de terre, révélant une solitude paisible qui n’appartient qu’à ces espaces vastes. L’existence humaine se déploie avec une retenue pudique, respectant la rudesse du climat et la beauté austère d’un relief qui ne demande rien d’autre que d’être contemplé.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
