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 Shefford.
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.

Nearby, the stillness of Lac Enchanté, positioned 2 km from the center, offers a mirror for the changing seasons, while the expansive horizon toward the 10 km distant Parc national de la Yamaska suggests the scale of the wilderness that presses against the edges of the settled land. The history of Shefford reflects the labor of those who cleared the timber to make way for the agricultural holdings that still define the local economy. Beyond the farms, the daily life of Shefford maintains a focus on the land, where the scent of damp earth and cooling stone lingers in the air after a rain.

Le Lac Enchanté scintille à une courte distance, ses eaux calmes captant les teintes changeantes du ciel, tandis que la Rivière Yamaska serpente à six kilomètres, traçant son sillon discret à travers la topographie locale. Plus loin, à dix kilomètres, le Parc national de la Yamaska impose sa présence sauvage, rappelant aux habitants de Shefford l’ampleur des boisés qui ceinturent leur horizon. L’économie de la région, longtemps nourrie par la fertilité de son sol, se transforme sans renier ses origines, conservant une authenticité qui se lit dans les façades des demeures et le rythme régulier de la vie quotidienne.
