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-Haut.
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-Haut is a residential area in Shawinigan; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Almaville-en-Haut is located at 46.5233°N, 72.7519°W.
Almaville-en-Haut holds a quiet position amidst the rising contours of the Mont Georges, where the air often carries the damp, mineral coolness of the Rivière Saint-Maurice. It lies 18.4 km east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 82°T), and is situated 2.0 km south-south-west of Shawinigan. Here, the light of late afternoon clings to the slopes, casting long shadows that emphasize the rugged rise of the land as it turns toward the horizon. The proximity of the Chutes de Shawinigan creates a persistent, low-frequency hum that vibrates through the bedrock, a constant reminder of the power held by the currents nearby. While Lac Hébert rests in the relative stillness of the forest four kilometers away, the life of Almaville-en-Haut remains defined by the proximity of the river and the steep, wooded hills that cradle its borders. The history of Almaville-en-Haut reflects the industrial development of the region, where the exploitation of water power shaped the growth of the nearby settlements. Residents maintain an awareness of the vast, protected expanses found within Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie, which lies thirty-five kilometers to the north, serving as a wild counterpoint to the managed landscape of the valley. Local industry has historically looked to the river for its energy, grounding the economy in a practical, physical connection to the environment. Daily life moves with the deliberate pace of those who work close to the earth, marked by the changing seasons that shift the color of the canopy from the pale greens of spring to the deep, weathered tones of autumn.
Almaville-en-Haut s’étire sur les pentes du Mont Georges, là où le sol semble retenir la chaleur d’un passé agricole avant de s’incliner vers les eaux sombres de la Rivière Saint-Maurice. La lumière du couchant y possède une densité particulière, glissant sur les toitures pour aller mourir contre le courant puissant qui a façonné le destin industriel de la région. À peine à un kilomètre, la puissance sourde des Chutes de Shawinigan impose un rythme constant à l’horizon, rappelant la force brute qui a permis l’éveil de ces terres. Plus loin, le Lac Hébert offre un miroir immobile à la forêt dense, tandis que les vastes étendues du Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie marquent la limite septentrionale où la civilisation cède devant le silence des bois. Almaville-en-Haut observe ainsi le passage des jours, portée par une mémoire ouvrière qui se lit dans la droiture des rues et l’alignement des maisons face à la vallée. L’air y est vif, chargé de cette humidité légère qui s’élève du fleuve, transformant chaque fin de journée en un moment de suspension rare. Entre l’effervescence des chutes et la solitude des grands espaces sauvages, Almaville-en-Haut demeure une vigie discrète, attentive aux murmures de la Rivière Saint-Maurice qui ne cesse jamais de couler vers le sud.
