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 Veillette.
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.

Veillette is a locality in Lac-aux-Sables; Mékinac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Veillette is located at 46.9178°N, 72.4711°W.
Veillette rests beneath the watchful shadow of the Montagne à Groleau, where the land rises in rugged, silent tiers above the Rivière Tawachiche Ouest. It lies 61.1 km north-east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 40°T), and is situated 11.5 km north of Sainte-Thècle. The air here holds the sharp, clean scent of spruce and damp stone, particularly at dusk when the fading light turns the water of the river into a ribbon of hammered silver. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Blais offers a quiet sanctuary, reflecting the deep greens of the surrounding woods that press close against the edges of the clearing. It is a landscape defined by the slow persistence of the elements, where the earth feels ancient and heavy, undisturbed by the frantic pace of the wider world. The history of Veillette remains tied to the resilient spirit of those who first cleared the timber and worked the rocky soil of Mékinac. While the echoes of early industry linger in the forgotten logging trails, the modern character of Veillette is defined by a deep, quiet autonomy and a respect for the vast wilderness that stretches toward the distant Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie. Travelers passing through the region might catch glimpses of the Chutes du Neuf, a reminder of the raw, kinetic energy that once powered the local economy. Life in Veillette moves with the turning of the seasons, maintaining a focus on the land that sustains it, far removed from the clamor of urban life.
Veillette se déploie avec une humilité tranquille dans le relief accidenté de la région de Mékinac, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle entre les pentes de la Montagne à Groleau et le cours sinueux de la Rivière Tawachiche Ouest. L'air y possède une fraîcheur singulière, celle des contrées forestières où les journées s'étirent doucement sous une lumière dorée qui caresse les rocailles et les terres autrefois défrichées par les pionniers. À quelques pas de ces rives, le Lac Blais offre une surface miroitante, presque immobile, invitant au silence tandis que le souvenir des hommes qui ont bâti Veillette demeure présent dans la solidité des structures et le tracé des chemins forestiers. Bien que le Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie impose sa vaste présence à une quarantaine de kilomètres, l'identité de ce site se définit par une proximité plus intime avec le monde sauvage, marquée par le grondement lointain des Chutes du Neuf qui résonne dans le creux des vallées. La vie quotidienne s'y écoule avec une régularité apaisante, scandée par les cycles de la forêt et le travail qui façonne le paysage, transformant chaque lever de soleil en une rencontre renouvelée avec une nature brute, indomptable et profondément familière.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
