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 Stornoway.
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.

Stornoway is a municipality in Stornoway; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Stornoway is located at 45.7090°N, 71.1586°W.
Stornoway sits nestled within the quiet, rolling terrain of Le Granit, defined by the proximity of the Le Pain de Sucre and the steady, cool passage of the Rivière Legendre. It lies 24.3 km north of Franceville, QC (from Franceville, QC: bearing 8°T), and is situated 15.3 km south-south-west of Lambton. The light at dusk here possesses a particular clarity, catching the edges of the hills and casting long, sharp shadows across the fields that slope toward the water. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape broadens toward the stillness of Lac Legendre, located about 3 km away, where the air often carries a damp, mossy scent that signals the changing seasons. Further out, the vast, protected expanses of Parc national de Frontenac lie about 18 km away, anchoring the wilder character of the region. Stornoway maintains a deliberate connection to its surroundings, where the texture of the earth and the presence of the nearby river dictate the slow, focused movements of those who live and work among these hills. History in Stornoway reflects the persistence of settlers who cleared this rugged terrain, finding utility in the stone and soil that define the local economy. The architecture of the region, often heavy with the gray stone common to Le Granit, grounds the village in a sense of permanence that contrasts with the seasonal shifts of the landscape. Life here remains focused on the land, with agricultural traditions and forestry practices shaping the daily chores and seasonal cycles. The community gathers in ways that honor these roots, keeping a steady pace that reflects the endurance required to thrive in such a climate. Even as the modern world encroaches, the people of Stornoway maintain a quiet independence, finding beauty in the stark, honest lines of their horizon and the enduring flow of the Rivière Legendre.
Stornoway déploie ses terres vallonnées sur les contreforts du massif appalachien, là où le Pain de Sucre surveille l’horizon comme une sentinelle immobile sous le ciel changeant du Québec. La lumière du crépuscule s’y étire avec une langueur particulière, baignant les fermes et les boisés d’une clarté ambrée qui souligne la robustesse du terrain. À proximité, les eaux de la Rivière Legendre serpentent avec une persévérance silencieuse, rythmant le paysage de leurs méandres tandis que le Lac Legendre, situé à quelques kilomètres, conserve en son miroir une immobilité saisissante. La présence du Parc national de Frontenac, distant de dix-huit kilomètres, impose une respiration sauvage à cet environnement façonné par une longue tradition agricole. Dans la quiétude de ses chemins, Stornoway révèle une identité forgée par le labeur et la proximité des éléments, où chaque bâtisse semble porter en elle la mémoire des pionniers venus chercher une terre féconde. L’air y possède cette netteté tranchante des hauteurs, une fraîcheur qui rappelle la rudesse des hivers et la générosité des récoltes estivales, conférant à chaque journée une authenticité palpable dans le moindre mouvement de la brise sur les champs.
