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 Bois-des-Acadiens.
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.

Bois-des-Acadiens is a residential area in Sorel-Tracy; Pierre-De Saurel, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Bois-des-Acadiens is located at 46.0200°N, 73.1439°W.
Bois-des-Acadiens rests upon the low, fertile plains where the St. Lawrence widens, its character defined by the shifting moods of the water and the proximity of the Coteau de la Terre de la Fabrique. It lies 3.5 km south-west of Sorel-Tracy, QC (from Sorel-Tracy, QC: bearing 222°T), and is situated 7.5 km south-south-east of Berthierville. The Rivière Richelieu flows with a quiet, persistent gravity toward the larger channel, carrying a coolness that lingers in the air long after the afternoon sun has retreated behind the distant tree lines. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular clarity, turning the surface of the river into a sheet of hammered pewter that reflects the darkening sky. Residents of Bois-des-Acadiens observe the passage of the seasons through the subtle thickening of the river mist and the way the wind catches against the rise of the land, grounding the daily routine in the elemental movements of the earth and tide. The history of Bois-des-Acadiens remains anchored in the agricultural legacy of the Pierre-De Saurel region, where the soil has long supported the quiet labor of those who work the fields. Industrial activity in Sorel-Tracy exerts a steady influence on the local economy, pulling the gaze of the populace toward the heavy, productive hum of the waterfront. Yet, even amidst the modern commerce, there persists a respect for the land’s original contours and the historical currents that settled these banks. Life in Bois-des-Acadiens moves with a deliberate precision, where the texture of the day is measured by the steady, reliable flow of the river and the persistent, grounded endurance of a people who have built their lives in sight of the water.
Bois-des-Acadiens déploie ses horizons sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière déclinante transforme l’eau en une étoffe d'argent liquide. Près du Coteau de la Terre de la Fabrique, le sol garde la mémoire des labeurs anciens et d'une persévérance héritée des premiers occupants qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence face aux courants impétueux. La proximité immédiate avec les rives de la Rivière Richelieu imprègne l’atmosphère d’une humidité subtile, une fraîcheur qui s'attarde sur les champs et les jardins lorsque le soleil s'efface derrière la ligne monotone des arbres. Bois-des-Acadiens conserve une allure de quiétude, rythmée par le souffle du vent qui parcourt les plaines basses de Pierre-De Saurel. Les habitations, tournées vers ces étendues liquides, semblent guetter le passage des navires dans un silence quasi religieux, tandis que l'air, saturé des parfums de la terre et des sédiments fluviaux, rappelle sans cesse la dépendance profonde de cette contrée envers ses eaux nourricières. La rigueur des hivers et la générosité des récoltes estivales façonnent un tempérament local empreint d'une sobriété héritée des traditions acadiennes, faisant de Bois-des-Acadiens un sanctuaire singulier où le temps semble suspendre sa course habituelle devant l'immensité du fleuve.
