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 West Ely.
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.

West Ely is a locality in Valcourt; Le Val-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. West Ely is located at 45.4706°N, 72.3953°W.
West Ely settles into the quiet folds of the land near the Colline Davidson, where the ground rises to meet an expansive, open sky. It lies 26.7 km east-north-east of Granby, QC (from Granby, QC: bearing 72°T), and is situated 6.7 km west-south-west of Valcourt. The Rivière Noire moves through this terrain with a steady, deliberate persistence, carving a path that defines the local topography. At dusk, the light catches the moisture rising from the banks, turning the air a pale, bruised violet that clings to the fields long after the sun has retreated behind the ridge. This landscape is shaped by the presence of the Colline Davidson, a silent observer to the seasonal cycles that govern the slow work of the earth. The character of West Ely remains rooted in the industry of the soil, where the heritage of agriculture defines the daily movements of those who call it home. While Lac Sauvage waits six kilometers away in the stillness of the woods, the proximity of the Chutes de Roxton Falls and the vast expanses of Parc national de la Yamaska serve as reminders of the wilder currents that run through the wider region. Life here favors the pragmatic, marked by a discipline learned from long winters and the necessity of tending to the land before the frost settles deep into the clay. Whether managing the yield of the fields or navigating the local roads, the people of West Ely maintain a focused, watchful engagement with a world that demands attention to the smallest change in the horizon.
West Ely s'étire doucement sur les terres basses de la région de Valcourt, là où le sol semble retenir la mémoire des premiers défrichements agricoles. La lumière de fin de journée glisse le long de la Colline Davidson, projetant des ombres étirées sur les champs qui bordent les méandres de la Rivière Noire. Cette proximité avec l'eau dicte depuis toujours le rythme des travaux des champs et le calme des soirées, alors que le silence s'installe sur les rangs. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Sauvage offre un miroir immobile au ciel changeant de la plaine, tandis que les Chutes de Roxton Falls murmurent plus loin une présence constante et vigoureuse dans le relief environnant. Bien que le Parc national de la Yamaska attire le regard vers l'horizon, West Ely conserve une identité propre, façonnée par une terre fertile et la persévérance de ceux qui ont bâti ici leur existence. Les chemins qui sillonnent ce secteur témoignent d'une vie simple, tournée vers la terre et la patience, où chaque changement de saison modifie la couleur des labours sous un ciel immense. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'humidité des courants proches, rappelant à chaque instant que West Ely appartient à ce pays de vallons et de rivières où le temps paraît suspendu.
