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 Westminster.
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.

Westminster is a residential area in Dollard-des-Ormeaux; Montréal, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Westminster is located at 45.4717°N, 73.8453°W.
Westminster rests upon the firm, low-lying earth of the island, holding its position along the cool, expansive shore of Lac Saint-Louis. It lies 21.2 km east of Kanesatake, QC (from Kanesatake, QC: bearing 93°T), and is situated 11.8 km south-west of Laval. The air here carries the damp weight of the water, a stillness that settles over the streets as the light fades behind the distant silhouette of Mont Saint-Eustache. While the Rivière à l'Orme winds its way through the landscape some eight kilometers away, the local horizon remains defined by a quiet, suburban stability. Residents often look toward the northern reaches, where the wilder ridges of Parc national d'Oka rise fourteen kilometers to the north, offering a stark contrast to the manicured lawns and orderly avenues of the immediate vicinity. Even the distant, rhythmic roar of the Chutes Saint-Louis, situated eighteen kilometers distant, feels like a ghost of geography, a suggestion of power that never quite disturbs the peace of the neighborhood. Westminster grew from the expansion of the post-war era, transforming fields into a grid of residential life that anchors the western reaches of the island. The local economy thrives on the steady hum of commerce and service, reflecting the industrious nature of a population that balances professional ambition with the comfort of settled domesticity. On quiet evenings, the atmosphere carries a certain transparency, as if the proximity to the great lake clarifies the thoughts of those walking beneath the mature trees. History here is marked not by grand monuments, but by the slow accumulation of family narratives and the persistence of a culture that values the maintenance of its own modest, well-tended borders.
Westminster s'étire avec une tranquille assurance sur les rives du Lac Saint-Louis, où les eaux calmes absorbent les dernières lueurs d'un soleil déclinant derrière le Mont Saint-Eustache. La lumière, d'une clarté presque liquide, baigne les façades et les jardins, rappelant que Westminster habite une terre façonnée par une longue patience agricole avant de devenir le prolongement urbain de Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Au loin, le murmure de la Rivière à l'Orme accompagne le passage des heures, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une humidité légère, semble porter en lui le souvenir des terres fertiles et le bruissement des arbres qui composent le paysage environnant. Les habitants observent le rythme immuable des marées intérieures, conscients de la proximité des Chutes Saint-Louis dont l'écho discret parvient parfois jusqu'aux quartiers paisibles. À quelques lieues, la présence du Parc national d'Oka souligne l'horizon, offrant une respiration sauvage à cet espace habité. Ici, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, marqué par une humilité propre aux lieux qui connaissent la valeur de leur sol, entre l'étendue bleue du lac et la rigueur des saisons qui sculptent patiemment chaque coin de rue.
