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 War Time Housing.
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.

War Time Housing is a locality in Montréal; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. War Time Housing is located at 45.5236°N, 73.7042°W.
War Time Housing rises with a modest, utilitarian dignity near the Les Écores, where the land meets the broad, moving expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 11.8 km west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 278°T), and is situated 4.4 km south-east of Laval. The neighborhood maintains a quiet posture, its streets laid out with a functional clarity that mirrors the pragmatism of its mid-century origins. As the light fades, a pale, cool luminescence settles over the rooftops, casting long shadows that soften the sharp edges of the modest dwellings. The air here carries a faint, persistent humidity from the river, a reminder of the vast water that shapes the local climate and defines the northern horizon. Born from the urgent necessity of a global conflict, War Time Housing served as a vital anchor for the families of workers who fueled the industrial engine of the region. The economy of the era relied upon the labor of these residents, who kept the factories humming to support a world in transition. Today, the pace of life remains steady and unassuming, reflecting a legacy of resilience that persists beneath the canopy of mature trees. While the Rivière du Chicot flows 14 km away and Lac aux Castors stays tucked 9 km to the west, the presence of the water lingers in the cool evening breeze. Even with Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville situated 20 km downstream, the local character of War Time Housing stays grounded in its own distinct, orderly architecture and the enduring spirit of those who first called these streets home.
War Time Housing se dresse humblement sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble suspendre le mouvement des eaux entre les Écores. Cette architecture de nécessité, née d'une urgence industrielle qui a redéfini le paysage montréalais, conserve une géométrie sobre, presque dépouillée, qui dialogue avec la rigueur du climat québécois. À une distance de quatorze kilomètres, le murmure de la Rivière du Chicot se perd dans l’horizon, tandis que le Lac aux Castors, situé à neuf kilomètres, impose une présence calme sur le relief environnant. Plus loin, à vingt kilomètres, le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville offre une étendue de silence végétal qui contraste avec le souvenir des usines actives. Le quotidien à War Time Housing s’écoule dans cette proximité physique avec le fleuve, dont les brumes matinales viennent envelopper les façades modestes, rappelant aux résidents la permanence du courant devant les structures éphémères du passé. L’air y possède cette densité particulière des zones riveraines, une fraîcheur qui souligne la texture granuleuse des matériaux et la persistance d'un mode de vie tourné vers l'essentiel. Chaque maison, par sa disposition ordonnée, maintient une relation directe avec l'espace ouvert et le ciel, offrant une clarté singulière à ceux qui habitent ces terres marquées par l'effort collectif.
