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 Schwartz.
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.

Schwartz is a hamlet in Thorne; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Schwartz is located at 45.8067°N, 76.3647°W.
Schwartz rests upon a rugged expanse of the Canadian Shield, defined by the quiet presence of Lac Schwartz which sits at the heart of the terrain. It lies 24.7 km north-north-east of Shawville, QC (from Shawville, QC: bearing 24°T), and is situated 29.2 km east of Fort-Coulonge. The landscape surrounding Schwartz is marked by the nearby Button de Pois, where the earth rises in firm, ancient ridges that catch the long, golden light of late afternoon. While the Rivière Coulonge flows through the wider region some 26 km away, the immediate environment remains anchored by the stillness of the water and the dense, stoic woodlands that define the Pontiac. Life in Schwartz moves with the seasons, reflecting a history rooted in the timber trade and the persistent, quiet labor of those who cleared the bush to claim a life on this rocky ground. Though Ottawa River Provincial Park lies 29 km away, the local character is defined less by distant landmarks and more by the intimacy of the surrounding forest and the deep, enduring silence that settles over the land when the wind dies down.
Schwartz s'étire dans le Pontiac, là où la terre du Québec semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière qui, à l'heure où le soleil décline, teinte les bois d'une nuance cuivrée. La topographie ici, marquée par une rudesse élégante, se déploie autour du Lac Schwartz dont les eaux immobiles recueillent le silence des hautes terres. À proximité, le secteur de Button de Pois impose sa présence familière, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une fraîcheur sylvestre, circule avec une lenteur ancienne entre les arbres qui bordent les chemins. À quelques lieues, la Rivière Coulonge poursuit sa marche souveraine vers le sud, rappelant l'influence des eaux sur le destin de ces contrées, bien avant que le parc provincial Ottawa River ne devienne, à une distance respectable, le gardien des horizons lointains. L'activité humaine, modeste et tenace, se concentre dans les travaux de la terre et la gestion des vastes espaces forestiers qui définissent l'identité de Schwartz. Les habitations se fondent dans ce décor dépouillé, habitées par une sagesse que seule la solitude des grands espaces procure à ceux qui ont choisi d'y bâtir leur demeure. La vie s'y écoule selon un rythme lent, dicté par les variations de la clarté et le murmure du vent sur les étendues sauvages.

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.
