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 Southière-sur-le-Lac.
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.

Southière-sur-le-Lac is a resort in Magog; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Southière-sur-le-Lac is located at 45.2653°N, 72.1922°W.
Southière-sur-le-Lac occupies a quiet, sheltered stretch of land along the expansive waters of Lac Memphrémagog, cradled by the natural rise of the Colline des Sorbiers. It lies 3.6 km west of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 271°T), and is situated 15.6 km north-west of Ayer's Cliff. The Rivière aux Cerises winds its way through this landscape, carrying the cool, clear mountain runoff toward the lake while the distant, mist-hung ridges of Parc national du Mont-Orford define the horizon eight kilometres away. At dusk, the light here deepens into a bruised violet, catching the ripples on the water and making the shoreline appear as if it is breathing in the cooling air. While Les Cascades remains a more rugged presence fourteen kilometres removed, Southière-sur-le-Lac maintains a modest, steady equilibrium. The local character is defined by a deep affinity for the surrounding woods and the rhythmic cycle of the seasons, where the movement of the water against the stones serves as the primary pulse of the day. The history of Southière-sur-le-Lac is tied to the deliberate preservation of its natural boundaries, keeping the pace of development subordinate to the demands of the terrain. Local economy and life revolve around a blend of seasonal recreation and the maintenance of a residential identity that values proximity to the water over industrial ambition. Residents often mark the passage of time by the changing density of the forest canopy or the clarity of the lake ice as winter approaches. There is a distinct stillness in how the morning fog clings to the slopes of the Colline des Sorbiers, a phenomenon that has long shaped the quiet, observant nature of the people who reside here. Even as the modern world encroaches, Southière-sur-le-Lac keeps its focus on the essential geography, finding purpose in the maintenance of its trails and the protection of the watershed.
Southière-sur-le-Lac s’étire avec une langueur paisible sur les rives du Lac Memphrémagog, là où la Colline des Sorbiers semble retenir le souffle du vent pour mieux envelopper les demeures. Dans ce repli du Québec, la Rivière aux Cerises serpente avec discrétion, apportant une fraîcheur qui sature l’air dès que l’ombre s’allonge sur les eaux calmes. Le regard, porté vers l’horizon, rencontre la masse imposante du Parc national du Mont-Orford à quelques lieues, tandis que Les Cascades soulignent, par leur présence lointaine, la vigueur de la topographie environnante. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui transforme chaque arbre et chaque sentier en une présence familière et silencieuse. Southière-sur-le-Lac vit au rythme de ces éléments immuables, loin des tumultes, privilégiant une existence tournée vers la contemplation du rivage et le murmure des courants. Ici, le terrain garde une mémoire ancienne, celle des terres façonnées par le travail patient des hommes qui ont su apprivoiser ce relief sans jamais en rompre l’équilibre fragile. Chaque journée s’écoule dans une clarté douce, offrant aux résidents la certitude d’un monde où la nature, par ses eaux et ses hauteurs, demeure le seul maître véritable de l’espace.
