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 Barrage-du-Grand-Remous.
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.

Barrage-du-Grand-Remous is a locality in Pont-Rouge; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Barrage-du-Grand-Remous is located at 46.7925°N, 71.6722°W.
Barrage-du-Grand-Remous rests where the current of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier slows to gather its strength against the stone. It lies 14.2 km north-north-east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 20°T), and is situated 4.3 km north-north-east of Pont-Rouge. The water here possesses a glassy, dark opacity, reflecting the nearby silhouette of the Butte du Petit-Capsa as the light leans low against the horizon. Air cools rapidly near the bank, carrying the scent of damp earth and crushed cedar that clings to the valley floor. Only a kilometer away, the stillness of Lac Frenette provides a quiet counterpoint to the persistent, low-frequency hum of the river pushing through the structure. Industrial ambition once sought to tame this stretch of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier, leaving Barrage-du-Grand-Remous as a sentinel of a changing economic era in Pont-Rouge. The structure stands as a physical marker of the region’s long engagement with water power, a history that shaped how the residents of Portneuf harnessed the land to drive their mills and workshops. Life here moves with the deliberate focus of those who have long worked alongside the seasonal fluctuations of the river. Even now, the sound of the water against the barrage persists as a constant, rhythmic presence, grounding the daily activities of the people nearby in the tangible reality of the current.
Barrage-du-Grand-Remous s'étire avec une humilité tranquille à proximité immédiate de la Butte du Petit-Capsa, là où le relief s'incline pour épouser le cours vigoureux de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier. L'eau, dans son mouvement perpétuel, sculpte le paysage en imposant une cadence ancienne à la terre environnante, tandis que le Lac Frenette, déposé à un kilomètre de là comme un miroir sombre, capte les dernières lueurs d'un soleil déclinant. Dans cette portion du territoire, l'air porte souvent une fraîcheur humide, héritage de la proximité immédiate de ce courant qui forge, depuis toujours, le tempérament du sol. Barrage-du-Grand-Remous demeure indissociable de cette présence aquatique, laquelle dicte la texture du terrain et la courbure des horizons. Les bâtisseurs d'autrefois ont su lire cette topographie pour y installer leurs racines, tirant parti de la puissance hydraulique qui anime les lieux avec une constance souveraine. Entre les rives boisées et les ondulations du terrain, la vie s'organise selon un rythme lent, rythmé par la lumière changeante qui glisse sur la Rivière Jacques-Cartier. Chaque parcelle de terre, imprégnée de cette humidité bienfaisante, renvoie l'écho d'une existence modeste, entièrement tournée vers la gestion patiente des ressources naturelles qui composent l'identité profonde de Barrage-du-Grand-Remous.
