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 Vautrin.
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.

Vautrin is a hamlet in Preissac; Abitibi, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Vautrin is located at 48.4447°N, 78.3622°W.
Vautrin occupies a quiet corner of the Abitibi landscape, defined by the steady, dark currents of the Rivière Villemontel. It lies 22.7 km south-west of Amos, QC (from Amos, QC: bearing 234°T), and is situated 4.2 km north of Preissac. The terrain here holds a stillness that lingers long after the sun dips behind the trees, with the water near La Trompeuse reflecting the sky in deep, bruised violets. The air carries the scent of damp earth and pine, an ancient perfume that seems to settle heavily over the ground, grounding Vautrin in a silence broken only by the occasional shift of the riverbed. While Lac de la Montagne sits four kilometers distant, its presence is felt in the way the land rises and dips toward the horizon, and the shadow of Parc national d'Aiguebelle looms twenty-nine kilometers away, suggesting a vast, untamed wildness that dictates the character of the immediate surroundings. Life in Vautrin reflects the deliberate, measured pace of the north, where the economy has long drawn its strength from the raw potential of the surrounding woods and the persistent flow of local waterways. Residents move with an awareness of the changing seasons, knowing that the climate demands a certain resilience, as the frost often arrives early to coat the landscape in a fragile, silver lace. History here is found in the weathered remnants of early industry, where the legacy of those who first worked the land remains visible in the clearings and the quiet paths that trace the riverbanks. The character of the locale is defined by this honest, utilitarian beauty, where the weight of the Canadian wilderness is not a barrier, but a constant, grounding companion to daily existence.
Vautrin s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses de l’Abitibi, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur particulière sur les rives de la Rivière Villemontel. Le sol, marqué par une vocation agricole ancienne, semble garder le silence des défricheurs qui ont jadis ouvert ces espaces malgré la rigueur du climat. À proximité, le relief s'incline doucement vers La Trompeuse, créant une atmosphère de repli où chaque souffle de vent transporte l'odeur des terres humides et des boisés lointains. Le Lac de la Montagne, situé à une poignée de kilomètres, ajoute à cette géographie une profondeur d'eau sombre, miroir immobile sous les cieux vastes du Nord. Vautrin observe, à une distance respectueuse, la nature sauvage qui reprend ses droits, tandis que le Parc national d’Aiguebelle, un peu plus loin, rappelle la puissance minérale et le plissement ancien de ce territoire. La vie ici suit le rythme lent de la terre et des eaux, loin des agitations urbaines, dans une persistance qui tient autant de la patience que de la nécessité. On perçoit dans la texture du paysage une sorte de gravité paisible, celle d'un monde qui n'a pas besoin de s'agiter pour exister pleinement dans sa solitude boréale.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude.
