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 Bellavance.
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.

Bellavance is a locality in Routhierville; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Bellavance is located at 48.2183°N, 67.1903°W.
Bellavance rests within the quiet reach of Routhierville, where the land leans toward the persistent, cooling presence of the Rivière Matapédia. It lies 32.5 km south-south-east of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 146°T), and is situated 6.2 km south-south-east of Sainte-Florence. The water defines the spirit of Bellavance, carving a path through the valley that dictates the movement of light and the settling of evening mist against the rising slopes. High above the riverbank, the air carries a crisp, ancient clarity, while the terrain remains rugged and thick with the timber that has long defined the character of the region. Though Lac Otter lies about 13 km away, the local horizon is dominated by the immediate, rushing urgency of the river, which acts as the primary pulse for the life found here. Industry in Bellavance has historically followed the currents of the forest and the rails, with the economy turning on the extraction and movement of natural resources through the valley. The daily life of Bellavance holds to a steady, deliberate pace, reflecting the seasonal shifts that transform the valley from a vibrant green passage into a hushed corridor of snow and ice. Local traditions persist in the quiet corners of the valley, honoring a heritage deeply connected to the river’s seasonal cycles and the resilience required to thrive in such a sheltered, topographical fold.
Bellavance se déploie avec une modestie altière le long des rives sinueuses de la Rivière Matapédia, là où le courant semble ralentir pour observer le passage des heures. Dans cette portion de la vallée, la terre porte la marque d'un labeur silencieux, celui des familles qui ont su lire le sol et apprivoiser les exigences de ce climat forestier. La lumière du crépuscule s'étire sur les versants, offrant une clarté particulière qui souligne la texture des écorces et la patience des bois environnants, tandis qu'à une distance de treize kilomètres, le Lac Otter repose dans une quiétude minérale, gardien discret des horizons proches. Bellavance conserve le souvenir des premiers défrichements, ces gestes répétés par des hommes et des femmes dont le quotidien s'accordait au rythme du débit de l'eau et à la croissance lente des résineux. L'économie locale, façonnée par les ressources du milieu, maintient un lien tangible avec l'esprit des pionniers qui ont trouvé, dans ces étendues, une manière d'être au monde sans jamais chercher à le dompter outre mesure. Chaque habitant connaît le poids du givre sur les branches et la persistance des brumes matinales qui s'élèvent, comme une respiration, depuis le lit de la Rivière Matapédia pour envelopper les maisons de Bellavance d'un voile de mystère.
