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-Shefford.
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-Shefford is a locality in Roxton Pond; La Haute-Yamaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Val-Shefford is located at 45.4147°N, 72.6264°W.
Val-Shefford rests within the quiet reach of the landscape near the Mont Berthier, where the land holds a stillness that defines the horizon. It lies 7.7 km east-north-east of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 76°T), and is situated 10.7 km north of Bromont. The earth here possesses a sturdy, grounded weight, marked by the proximity of Réservoir Choinière and the nearby expanse of Parc national de la Yamaska, which temper the air with a cooling, damp clarity. At dusk, the light catches the low-lying terrain with a thin, pale gold that seems to pause over the fields before the evening chill settles in. While the Rivière Yamaska flows some distance away, its presence is felt in the moisture that clings to the valley, supporting a cycle of growth that has long defined the character of the region. Val-Shefford maintains a relationship with these surroundings that is both practical and observant, grounding its identity in the physical reality of the earth rather than the noise of the outside world. Economic life in Val-Shefford draws from the traditions of the La Haute-Yamaska region, where the labor of the day follows the turning of the seasons. The local industry thrives on a legacy of careful stewardship, balancing the modest demands of rural enterprise with the natural features that shape the borders of the territory, such as the distant Chutes de Roxton Falls. Residents carry themselves with a deliberate focus, moving through the tasks of the day with an efficiency born of long experience and a deep familiarity with the soil. There is a particular beauty in the way the local structures sit against the backdrop of the Mont Berthier, appearing less as an imposition upon the land and more as a natural extension of its enduring, quiet history.
Val-Shefford déploie ses terres fertiles sous la garde immuable du Mont Berthier, là où le relief s'adoucit dans une quiétude propice aux travaux de la terre et à la persévérance des familles. La lumière du couchant se dépose avec une douceur particulière sur les champs, révélant une topographie travaillée par des générations d'agriculteurs dont le labeur a façonné l'identité de ce territoire. À proximité immédiate, le Réservoir Choinière et le Parc national de la Yamaska offrent leurs étendues paisibles, invitant le regard à se perdre dans une nature généreuse et préservée. Non loin de là, les eaux de la Rivière Yamaska poursuivent leur cheminement tranquille, tandis que les Chutes de Roxton Falls ponctuent le paysage d'un murmure constant qui rappelle la vigueur de la terre environnante. Dans cette partie de la Haute-Yamaska, Val-Shefford conserve une allure sobre, marquée par une architecture simple et des chemins qui serpentent entre les cultures et les boisés. La vie quotidienne s'y écoule avec la lenteur des saisons, portée par le souffle d'un vent pur venant des hauteurs. Chaque habitant entretient un lien tangible avec ce sol riche, cultivant les traditions héritées des premiers défricheurs qui ont su lire, dans la pierre et l'humus, les promesses d'un avenir durable.
