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 Barrière-Béthanie.
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.

Barrière-Béthanie is a locality in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Barrière-Béthanie is located at 48.2936°N, 71.1274°W.
Barrière-Béthanie rests within the rugged folds of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, defined by the persistent pulse of the Rivière du Moulin. It lies 15.7 km south-south-west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 198°T), and is situated 14.4 km south-south-west of Chicoutimi. The landscape here demands attention, characterized by dense boreal shifts and a terrain that rises sharply from the water’s edge. Just a kilometer away, the stillness of Lac Saint-Gelais offers a mirror to the sky, its surface often undisturbed save for the shifting winds that carry the scent of damp pine and cold stone. When the light fades, the shadows lengthen across the banks of the Rivière du Moulin, turning the water into a dark, moving ribbon that seems to hold the very silence of the woods. The character of Barrière-Béthanie is shaped by a history of resourcefulness, where the proximity to the wild has historically dictated the movement of goods and the labor of those who call the region home. Life here aligns with the demands of the terrain, maintaining a focus on the forest and the waterways that once served as vital conduits for regional enterprise. Further downstream, the force of the Chutes à Martel reminds one of the raw energy inherent in this geography, a power that has long influenced the local pace of work and settlement. Even as the seasons turn and the air grows sharp with the coming frost, Barrière-Béthanie retains a quiet intensity, reflecting a life lived close to the land and the elemental flow of the river.
Barrière-Béthanie s’étire avec une humilité tranquille le long des berges de la Rivière du Moulin, là où le courant semble ralentir pour épouser les courbures du terrain. Dans ce secteur du Saguenay, la lumière du soir se dépose sur les reliefs avec une douceur particulière, soulignant la texture des terres qui ont vu naître des générations attachées à la rudesse et à la générosité du sol. À seulement un kilomètre de distance, le Lac Saint-Gelais offre une étendue d’eau paisible qui participe à l’équilibre thermique de cette zone, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes à Martel, situées à onze kilomètres, ponctue l'imaginaire des habitants sans jamais troubler le calme quotidien. L’économie locale, forgée par une longue tradition d’exploitation forestière et agricole, dicte un rythme de vie sobre, calé sur les nécessités de la terre et le passage des cycles naturels. Les résidents de Barrière-Béthanie perpétuent des habitudes simples, marquées par une connaissance intime des bois environnants et une solidarité discrète. Ici, chaque sentier et chaque courbe de la Rivière du Moulin racontent une histoire de patience, celle d'hommes et de femmes qui ont su bâtir leur existence dans le respect des contraintes géographiques imposées par ce coin de pays.
