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 Valcourt.
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.

Valcourt is a town in Valcourt; Le Val-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Valcourt is located at 45.4923°N, 72.3145°W.
Valcourt rests within a landscape defined by the steady presence of the Colline Davidson, where the ground rises with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 28.5 km north-north-west of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 333°T), and is situated 8.8 km north-north-east of Lawrenceville. The waters of the Rivière Noire carve a path through the terrain, holding the reflected light of the sky in a channel that shapes the local horizon. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the surrounding environment feels vast and elemental, with Lac des Français situated nine kilometers away and the Chutes de Roxton Falls marking the land nineteen kilometers distant. While the expansive reach of Parc national du Mont-Orford lies nineteen kilometers from the center, the immediate vicinity of Valcourt retains a grounded, singular character, where the air at dusk grows thin and clear, cooling rapidly as it settles over the low-lying fields. The history of Valcourt remains tied to the ingenuity of those who transformed local industry, turning the mechanical curiosity of a single inventor into a global presence that defines the regional economy. This focus on engineering and manufacturing provides a distinct pulse to the daily life of Valcourt, where the hum of production acts as a counterpoint to the stillness of the rural surroundings. Residents carry on with a deliberate focus, their traditions shaped by the changing seasons of the Eastern Townships and a dedication to the craft that first brought the locality to prominence. Even as modern innovations emerge from its workshops, the settlement keeps a modest posture, preferring the weight of its accomplishments to the noise of wider acclaim.
Valcourt s'étire sur des terres vallonnées, là où la Colline Davidson observe le passage des heures sous une lumière changeante qui semble ralentir le cours de la Rivière Noire. Dans ce paysage du Val-Saint-François, le silence de l'air est ponctué par le souvenir d'une ingéniosité mécanique qui a transformé la vocation agricole en une aventure industrielle mondiale. L'esprit de Valcourt demeure lié à cette transformation, un équilibre singulier entre l'héritage des champs et l'audace technique. À une distance de neuf kilomètres, le Lac des Français apaise le regard, tandis que les Chutes de Roxton Falls murmurent à dix-neuf kilomètres de là, rappelant la puissance tranquille de l'eau dans ces contrées. Plus loin, le Parc national du Mont-Orford dessine une ligne sombre contre l'horizon, offrant une présence protectrice à ce territoire façonné par les vents de l'Estrie. Les rues de Valcourt conservent cette simplicité des jours anciens, où la rigueur du climat exige une solidarité silencieuse et une persévérance que l'on perçoit encore dans le rythme mesuré des habitants. Ici, le ciel du soir descend sur les terres avec une clarté presque minérale, enveloppant les foyers et les ateliers dans une sérénité qui rend chaque changement de saison palpable.
