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 Val-Barrette.
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.

Val-Barrette is a administrative sector in Lac-des-Écorces; Antoine-Labelle, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Val-Barrette is located at 46.5083°N, 75.3556°W.
Val-Barrette rests within a landscape defined by the steady, persistent presence of the Rivière François and the proximity of the Mont Dutrisac. It lies 12.2 km east-south-east of Mont-Laurier, QC (from Mont-Laurier, QC: bearing 111°T), and is situated 5.4 km south of Lac-des-Écorces. The terrain holds the quiet clarity of the Canadian Shield, where the light at dusk clings to the slopes of the mountain before settling into the deep, reflective surfaces of Lac Barrette. Here, the air carries a crisp, evergreen sharpness, and the earth beneath the pines feels firm and ancient, grounding the stillness of the valley in a way that suggests the water and stone have long understood one another. History in Val-Barrette traces the lines of early forestry and the slow, deliberate expansion of life along the waterways. The local economy maintains a connection to the timber and land-based industries that first brought people to these northern reaches, though the pace of days now feels more aligned with the seasonal cycles of the woods. People move through their daily lives with an awareness of the nearby Mont Dutrisac, a landmark that provides a constant, silent orientation for those tending to the homesteads and businesses rooted here. Even as modern demands press in, the people of Val-Barrette preserve a sense of seclusion, finding value in the way the Rivière François marks the passage of time without ever rushing to reach the horizon.
Val-Barrette s’étire avec une simplicité rustique le long de la Rivière François, là où les collines ondulent sous la lumière oblique des fins de journée. Le Mont Dutrisac domine le paysage, imposant sa masse silencieuse sur les terres qui conservent encore le souvenir des anciens défrichements agricoles. À quelques pas de là, le Lac Barrette étend sa surface calme, capturant le ciel dans un miroir d'eau tranquille qui semble ralentir le rythme des heures. L’air y est vif, chargé de cette odeur résineuse propre aux forêts de la région d’Antoine-Labelle, tandis que les maisons s'alignent avec une modestie sereine, tournées vers le cours d'eau qui a autrefois dicté le mouvement des hommes et le transport du bois. Val-Barrette conserve cette âme des lieux bâtis par le labeur, où chaque recoin semble raconter une histoire de persévérance face à l'immensité forestière. La vie quotidienne y suit la course tranquille de la Rivière François, entre les ombres portées par le relief et la clarté qui finit par stagner sur les rives du Lac Barrette. Sous le regard immuable du Mont Dutrisac, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, fidèle à une humeur contemplative qui définit cet horizon du Québec.
