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 Wrightville.
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.

Wrightville is a residential area in Gatineau; Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Wrightville is located at 45.4322°N, 75.7392°W.
Wrightville rests upon the slopes of Nanny Goat Hill, overlooking the persistent flow of the Rivière Gatineau with a quiet, observant grace. It lies 2.3 km west-north-west of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 282°T), and is situated 13.7 km south-south-east of Cantley. The terrain rises in rugged swells, holding the neighborhood in a pocket of high ground that catches the last, bruised light of the afternoon sun against its stone outcrops. Residents here often walk the short distance to Lac des Fées, where the water mirrors the shifting moods of the sky, or listen to the distant, rhythmic roar of Chaudière Falls echoing through the valley. The air carries a crispness born from the interplay between the river's cold depths and the elevation of the hill, lending a sharp, clean clarity to the morning. Wrightville grew alongside the industrial expansion of the region, its development mirroring the broader shifts in the local economy as the timber trade and later urban growth shaped the landscape. The legacy of these working years lingers in the modest, sturdy architecture that occupies the hillside, reflecting a history of endurance and adaptation. Even as the modern pace of life quickens, Wrightville retains a distinct character, anchored by its proximity to the water and the verticality of its streets. People move through their days with a steady purpose, mindful of the steep grades that define their daily commutes and the enduring presence of the natural features that frame their home.
Wrightville se déploie sur les pentes douces de la colline Nanny Goat, observant le courant paisible de la Rivière Gatineau qui façonne la vie de ses habitants depuis les premiers défrichements. Le sol, marqué par une rudesse ancienne, conserve le souvenir des hommes venus transformer ces terres en un foyer durable, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. À quelques pas seulement, le Lac des Fées offre une tranquillité miroitante, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Chaudière ponctue le silence du crépuscule, lorsque la lumière dorée s'attarde sur les toitures et les jardins. La vie à Wrightville suit le rythme lent des saisons, privilégiant une intimité qui se transmet par les conversations sur le pas des portes et la persistance des traditions domestiques. Ici, l'air porte souvent une fraîcheur humide, rappelant la proximité immédiate de l'eau, élément essentiel qui dicte encore aujourd'hui la physionomie des rues. En observant les ombres s'allonger sur les reliefs de la colline, on saisit l'équilibre fragile entre le développement urbain et la nature qui contraint, avec une élégance austère, le déploiement des demeures. Wrightville demeure un espace où chaque pierre et chaque sentier révèlent une attache profonde au terrain, une fidélité silencieuse à ce paysage d'Outaouais que le temps n'a pas altéré dans son essence fondamentale.
