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 Baribeau.
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.

Baribeau is a locality in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Baribeau is located at 47.2878°N, 72.7244°W.
Baribeau rests within a rugged stretch of the Canadian Shield, characterized by a dense, enduring stillness that defines the high terrain near the Montagne de la Croix. It lies 17.5 km south-south-east of La Tuque, QC (from La Tuque, QC: bearing 166°T), and is situated 44.4 km east-south-east of La Petite-Ferme-Loken. The earth here holds a stubborn, rocky composure, where the thin soil supports a stubborn growth of conifers that seem to reach for the pale, northern light of late afternoon. Just a short distance away, Lac Cuisy mirrors the shifting clouds in its quiet basin, its surface often glass-still until a sudden breeze stirs the dark water into a restless, metallic sheen. The air carries a sharp, resinous scent, lingering long after the sun has dipped behind the jagged silhouette of the hills, grounding Baribeau in a landscape that feels older than the maps that attempt to define it. The history of Baribeau is marked by the deliberate labor of those who navigated the vast, wooded interior of La Tuque, drawing their livelihood from the timber and the seasonal pulse of the bush. While the Rivière Saint-Maurice flows steadily about 7 km away—a vital artery that once carried the lifeblood of the regional economy—the daily life of Baribeau maintains a quiet independence from the larger currents of industry. Local traditions persist through the changing seasons, rooted in a practical relationship with the land that values resilience over speed. In the cooling dusk, the silence that settles over the landscape suggests a life lived in close proximity to the elements, where the primary concerns remain the steady maintenance of hearth and home against the encroaching shadows of the forest.
Baribeau s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres hautes de la Mauricie, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers la quiétude du Lac Cuisy. À peine distant d'un kilomètre, ce miroir d'eau capte les dernières lueurs d'un soleil déclinant, diffusant une clarté cuivrée sur les parois boisées qui entourent le secteur. Non loin, la Montagne de la Croix veille sur les horizons, dressant sa silhouette familière au-dessus de cette terre façonnée par le labeur forestier et l'âpreté des hivers québécois. Les gens de Baribeau connaissent bien le rythme des vents qui descendent de la forêt profonde, porteurs de la fraîcheur humide de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, laquelle serpente à sept kilomètres de là, irriguant la mémoire autant que le sol. L'existence ici demeure rythmée par les travaux de la terre et la sylviculture, dans une persévérance silencieuse qui ignore les agitations des grands centres. Le soir venu, l'air devient vif, chargé d'une odeur de terre humide et de résineux, tandis que les foyers s'éclairent sous le couvert des arbres. Il règne dans ce paysage une forme de sagesse ancienne, une patience simple qui lie les habitants à la terre, faisant de chaque journée une suite de gestes mesurés dans ce coin de pays préservé.
