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 Almaville-en-Bas.
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.

Almaville-en-Bas is a residential area in Shawinigan; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Almaville-en-Bas is located at 46.5269°N, 72.7569°W.
Almaville-en-Bas sits nestled within the quiet slopes of the Mont Georges, where the land tilts toward the insistent pull of the Rivière Saint-Maurice. It lies 18.1 km east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 80°T), and is situated 1.8 km south-south-west of Shawinigan. The air here holds a particular crispness, catching the cool moisture that rises from the riverbanks and lingers against the rising hillsides as the evening light turns a pale, bruised violet. Nearby, the Chutes de Shawinigan define the local horizon with a constant, low-frequency hum that vibrates through the bedrock and settles into the foundation of every house. While Lac Lemay rests in a hidden basin about 5 km away, the presence of the Rivière Saint-Maurice remains the primary pulse of the terrain, shaping the way the light falls across the valley floor. The history of Almaville-en-Bas draws its strength from the industrial currents that once surged through this region, utilizing the power of the water to build a life against the rugged backdrop of the Mauricie landscape. Long before the modern reach of Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie drew visitors to the wider region 34 km away, the people here settled into a pattern of work and seasonal change that mirrors the shifting levels of the river. Life moves in alignment with the demands of the terrain, where residents go about their days with a steady, pragmatic focus that ignores the frantic pace of larger centers. Even now, the echoes of past industry remain visible in the sturdy architecture, standing firm against the cold while the river continues its long, dark journey toward the sea.
Almaville-en-Bas s'étire avec une tranquille obstination sur les rives de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, nichée dans les replis du Mont Georges où la lumière du crépuscule semble s'attarder plus longuement sur les toits. Le grondement sourd et éternel des Chutes de Shawinigan rythme le quotidien des habitants, rappelant la puissance hydraulique qui a autrefois dicté l'essor industriel de ces terres. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac Lemay offre une halte de silence, contrastant avec l'effervescence passée des moulins et la rudesse des travaux forestiers qui ont façonné le caractère des familles d'ici. L'air, chargé d'une humidité légère provenant du courant vigoureux de la rivière, porte en lui les souvenirs des ancêtres ayant défriché cette topographie escarpée. Tandis que le vent souffle en direction du Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie, Almaville-en-Bas préserve son identité, marquée par une architecture simple et une résilience héritée des bâtisseurs. La vie s'y écoule sans empressement, observée par les hauteurs du Mont Georges, alors que les reflets changeants de la Rivière Saint-Maurice dessinent chaque jour un paysage renouvelé, fidèle aux racines laborieuses et à la beauté austère de ce coin de pays.
