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-Ombreuse.
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-Ombreuse is a hamlet in Notre-Dame-du-Laus; Antoine-Labelle, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Val-Ombreuse is located at 46.0011°N, 75.5936°W.
Val-Ombreuse occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises to meet the persistent, dark currents of the Rivière du Lièvre. It lies 51.2 km south-east of Maniwaki, QC (from Maniwaki, QC: bearing 144°T), and is situated 9.9 km south-south-east of Notre-Dame-du-Laus. The weight of the water defines the horizon, pulling the eye toward the La Petite Loge as the current carries the scent of damp stone and pine needles. Nearby, the stillness of Lac du Brochet offers a stark contrast to the moving river, its surface holding the sky like a polished mirror that turns slate-grey under the approach of dusk. Further out, the rugged character of the terrain sharpens toward Les Grandes Chutes, where the land drops away in a display of raw, kinetic force. The air here carries a crisp, lingering chill, even in the height of summer, as if the shadows of the surrounding trees hold onto the memory of the long winters. Val-Ombreuse exists as a consequence of the timber and settlement cycles that once pushed deep into the interior, leaving behind a heritage of endurance and hard labor. The local economy shifted from the heavy extraction of wood to a quieter reliance on the land, where the presence of the Rivière du Lièvre continues to dictate the flow of daily life. Generations have moved along these banks, their work dictated by the seasonal rise and fall of the water and the shifting needs of the forest. Today, the pace of life reflects the steady, persistent movement of the river, marked by a sense of permanence that settles over the landscape once the sun dips below the tree line.
Val-Ombreuse s’étire avec une lenteur recueillie sur les rives de la Rivière du Lièvre, là où le courant murmure des secrets oubliés aux bois environnants. Près de La Petite Loge, la lumière du soir se dépose sur les reliefs avec une douceur presque palpable, dorant les essences qui bordent les terres travaillées par des générations de mains laborieuses. À seulement deux kilomètres, le Lac du Brochet offre un miroir immobile au ciel, tandis que le fracas lointain des Grandes Chutes, situées à dix-huit kilomètres, semble ponctuer le silence des hautes terres. L’existence à Val-Ombreuse suit le rythme des cycles naturels, portée par une mémoire qui se transmet dans le secret des maisons de bois, loin des agitations du monde. Ici, l’industrie forestière et l’agriculture ont façonné une identité robuste, exigeant une patience que seule la proximité des éléments peut enseigner. Les habitants observent les variations de la brume et les caprices de la Rivière du Lièvre, sachant que la terre impose ses propres exigences. Cette terre, marquée par une histoire de labeur et de ténacité, conserve une dignité austère que le promeneur attentif perçoit dans la texture même du sol et la droiture des pins, invitant à une contemplation simple devant la permanence de ce paysage québécois.
