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-de-Laterrière.
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-de-Laterrière is a hamlet in Lac-Ministuk; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Barrière-de-Laterrière is located at 48.2492°N, 71.2544°W.
Barrière-de-Laterrière rests where the land leans toward the shore of Lac Kénogami, held steady by the persistent presence of the Rivière Cyriac. It lies 24.5 km south-west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 216°T), and is situated 23.2 km south-west of Chicoutimi. The terrain here carries a certain weight, defined by the meeting of forest and water, where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples over the surface of Lac Kénogami, turning the ripples into hammered lead. Air flowing off the Rivière Cyriac holds a sharp, clean chill, smelling faintly of dampened stone and pine resin, a scent that lingers even when the sun is high and the shadows are pulled tight against the trees. Deep within Lac-Ministuk and Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, the pulse of Barrière-de-Laterrière is measured by the steady movement of the timber and resource currents that have long defined the region. Industry and the quiet persistence of those who work the land form the backbone of daily life, where the sound of machinery occasionally breaks the stillness, echoing off the basin walls like a low, rhythmic heartbeat. There is a quiet gravity to the way the day begins here, with the cold mist rising off the water to meet the first gray light of morning. While Barrière-de-Laterrière maintains an unassuming character, its identity is rooted in the practical realities of a landscape that demands respect, ensuring that the people who dwell here remain attentive to the shifts in weather and the slow, inexorable turning of the seasons.
Barrière-de-Laterrière déploie ses habitations sur les rives du Lac Kénogami, là où l’air s’alourdit d’une fraîcheur humide dès que le soleil décline derrière les crêtes. Le courant de la Rivière Cyriac impose un rythme constant à ce relief tourmenté, sculptant le paysage par ses eaux vives qui murmurent contre les pierres du rivage. L’histoire de Barrière-de-Laterrière se lit dans la persévérance de ses bâtisseurs qui ont su dompter cette terre exigeante, héritant d’un labeur agricole transmis par les générations ayant défriché les abords immédiats de ces courants. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, étirant les ombres des arbres sur le sol rocailleux et conférant aux eaux sombres du Lac Kénogami une profondeur presque minérale. Les résidents observent le passage des heures sous le ciel changeant de la région de Lac-Ministuk, dans Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, tandis que la Rivière Cyriac poursuit son trajet immuable vers les profondeurs du bassin. Ici, la vie s’ordonne selon les impétuosités du climat et la rigueur du terrain, offrant à ceux qui l’habitent une quiétude austère, façonnée par la présence constante de ces étendues d’eau qui dictent la respiration même du lieu.
