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 Tolsta.
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.

Tolsta is a hamlet in Stornoway; Le Granit, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Tolsta is located at 45.6572°N, 71.2208°W.
Tolsta occupies a quiet stretch of land near the Le Pain de Sucre, where the horizon holds the weight of ancient, weathered stone. It lies 18.4 km north of Franceville, QC (from Franceville, QC: bearing 355°T), and is situated 15.6 km north-north-east of Scotstown. The air here carries a crisp, mineral clarity, especially at dusk when the fading light catches the granite ridges and turns the shadows into deep pools of indigo. Petit lac Legendre sits tucked into the terrain just 3 km away, its surface often mirroring the stillness of a landscape that feels older than the roads carved through it. The land slopes toward the distant Rivière Blanche, which runs about 10 km away, moving with a persistence that defines the drainage of this rugged corner of Le Granit. The history of Tolsta leans into the strength of the earth, as the local economy has long looked to the granite beneath its feet for both livelihood and character. This industry shaped the settlement, drawing those who understood the patience required to work stone into forms that endure. Life in Tolsta moves with a sturdy, deliberate pace, mindful of the vast, protected expanses found within the Parc national de Frontenac, located 23 km away. Whether in the seasonal shift of the woods or the enduring presence of the quarries, Tolsta maintains a focus on the immediate, tangible world, where the work of the day is measured by the steady rhythm of the hand and the tools of the trade.
Tolsta s’étire sur les terres rocailleuses du Granit, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous la lumière oblique du couchant. Le relief se dessine avec une austérité noble, dominé par la silhouette familière du Pain de Sucre qui veille sur les travaux des champs. À trois kilomètres de distance, le Petit lac Legendre offre une surface d'argent immobile, captant les derniers éclats du jour avant que l'ombre ne gagne les vallons. La Rivière Blanche serpente à dix kilomètres, traçant son sillon discret à travers le territoire, tandis que les vastes étendues du Parc national de Frontenac, situées à vingt-trois kilomètres, prolongent cette sérénité sauvage dans une immensité protégée. Les habitants de Tolsta connaissent le poids du sol et la rudesse des hivers, façonnant une identité façonnée par l'effort quotidien et une patience héritée des pionniers qui ont défriché ces pentes ingrates. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une odeur de terre humide et de résineux, rappelant aux passants que le travail agricole et l'exploitation des ressources locales dictent toujours le rythme de la vie ici. Entre le silence des forêts et la patience des rochers, Tolsta maintient un lien tenace avec une terre exigeante mais généreuse pour ceux qui savent l'écouter.
