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 Belleterre.
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.

Belleterre is a town in Belleterre; Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Belleterre is located at 47.3893°N, 78.7036°W.
Belleterre rests within the rugged, forested expanse of the Canadian Shield, where the horizon is defined by the persistent architecture of pine and granite. It lies 55.7 km east of Ville-Marie, QC (from Ville-Marie, QC: bearing 83°T), and is situated 23.3 km south-south-west of Winneway. The air here carries a sharp, resinous clarity, especially in the cooling hours of dusk when shadows lengthen across the rocky outcrops. Only a kilometer away, the surface of Lac aux Sables holds the sky in a mirror of dark, undisturbed glass, while the Rivière aux Sables winds its way through the nearby timbered lowlands about 9 km distant. These waters provide a quiet stillness to the landscape, grounding the senses in a geography that feels both ancient and deeply settled. The history of Belleterre is anchored in the pursuit of mineral wealth, a legacy that once transformed the surrounding bush into a bustling site of extraction and industry. While the intensity of the mining era has faded, the character of Belleterre persists in the sturdy resilience of its buildings and the unyielding nature of those who choose to live among the trees. Daily life proceeds with a deliberate focus, shaped by the changing seasons and the quiet commerce of a locale defined by its distance from larger hubs. Traditions here are quiet and private, reflecting a culture that values the endurance of the land and the simple, honest work required to thrive in such an isolated, northern setting.
Belleterre s'étire sur un plateau de roche ancienne, là où la rudesse du sol québécois a façonné une existence marquée par la ténacité des premiers prospecteurs et le labeur des bâtisseurs. La lumière décline sur les façades, révélant une austérité noble que le Lac aux Sables, situé à peine à un kilomètre, apaise de ses reflets sombres et immobiles. La Rivière aux Sables serpente à neuf kilomètres de là, imposant une cadence lente à la terre environnante, tandis que le vent du nord balaye les vestiges de l'activité minière qui a jadis dicté le rythme des jours. Dans le silence du crépuscule, les ombres s'allongent sur le relief accidenté, soulignant la solidité des structures et la persévérance de ceux qui habitent ces étendues forestières. Belleterre conserve cet esprit de solitude vigoureuse, portée par le souvenir de l'or qui a attiré les hommes vers ces confins sauvages, loin du tumulte des grandes agglomérations. Chaque battement de la vie quotidienne semble ici s'accorder au murmure du bois et à la fraîcheur des eaux, offrant à l'observateur la sensation d'un monde où la nature, bien qu'apprivoisée par l'industrie, conserve une autorité souveraine sur l'horizon.
