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 Argentenay.
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.

Argentenay is a post office in Saint-Eugène-d'Argentenay; Maria-Chapdelaine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Argentenay is located at 48.9767°N, 72.2853°W.
Argentenay sits quietly within the expansive reach of the Maria-Chapdelaine region, where the land holds the steady, patient weight of the northern woods. It lies 12.0 km north-north-west of Dolbeau-Mistassini, QC (from Dolbeau-Mistassini, QC: bearing 339°T), and is situated 15.5 km north-east of Albanel. The terrain here finds its pulse along the Rivière aux Rats, a waterway that cuts through the earth with a persistence that seems to define the local horizon. Nearby, the still surface of Lac Cristal mirrors the sky, offering a stark, glassy contrast to the moving currents of the river. When the light fades at dusk, a blue stillness settles over the fields, turning the air crisp and sharpening the silhouettes of the trees that stand watch over the valley. The presence of Chutes du Père-William adds a distant, resonant gravity to the geography, while the expansive grounds of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon wait further away, anchoring the vastness of the surrounding wild. The history of Argentenay reflects the grit and resolve of those who first cleared this soil to build a life in Saint-Eugène-d'Argentenay. Agriculture remains a foundational element of the economy, with farms extending across the plains as if trying to capture every hour of the brief, intense growing season. The people here move with a deliberate purpose, tending to crops and machinery in a way that suggests a profound familiarity with the cycles of the seasons. There is a singular beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying meadows before the sun burns it away, revealing the hardworking character of the landscape. Life in Argentenay persists with an quiet endurance, rooted in the traditions of the land and the simple, honest labor required to thrive in this corner of the world.
Argentenay s'étire avec une lenteur tranquille le long des rives de la Rivière aux Rats, là où le sol de Maria-Chapdelaine garde encore le souvenir des défrichements opiniâtres. À l'heure où le crépuscule dépose une lumière ambrée sur les terres cultivées, l'air devient vif et limpide, transportant le silence recueilli des étendues boréales. À peine à deux kilomètres, le Lac Cristal miroite comme une perle oubliée dans le creux du terrain, tandis que la rumeur sourde des Chutes du Père-William, situées à dix-huit kilomètres, semble ponctuer la respiration sourde de la forêt environnante. Argentenay puise son caractère dans cette terre nourricière où le labeur agricole façonne le quotidien, bien loin de l'effervescence lointaine du Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, distant de trente-neuf kilomètres. Les maisons, modestes et solides, tournent leur regard vers le courant de la rivière, témoignant d'une vie rythmée par les cycles immuables de la nature et le labeur des hommes qui ont su dompter ces espaces sauvages. Ici, chaque sentier et chaque champ portent la marque d'une persévérance héritée, créant une atmosphère où la simplicité des gestes quotidiens s'accorde au souffle lent du vent sur le paysage.
