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-Filion.
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-Filion is a town in Bois-des-Filion; Thérèse-De Blainville, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Bois-des-Filion is located at 45.6697°N, 73.7553°W.
The low-lying plains of Bois-des-Filion extend across the Le Grand Coteau, finding a quiet anchor along the banks of the St. Lawrence. It lies 22.6 km east-south-east of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 121°T), and is situated 13.2 km north of Laval. Where the Rivière aux Chiens winds through the terrain, the air carries a persistent, damp coolness that clings to the river reeds as the day fades into a bruised, violet dusk. The landscape here is defined by a subtle flatness, a stretch of earth that seems to hold its breath against the wider horizon, offering a clear, open view that makes the sky feel vast and present. Bois-des-Filion emerged from a history of land grants and agricultural settlement, evolving from the early efforts of those who worked the soil into a modern residential enclave. While industry and local commerce have shifted the pace of daily affairs, the proximity to the water remains a defining feature of the local identity. Residents often look toward the distant presence of Lac Beauchemin or consider the broader reaches of the region, including the protected greenery of Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville, as markers of their broader geography. Life in Bois-des-Filion moves with a steady, pragmatic focus, yet retains the quiet beauty of a shoreline where the water reflects the changing seasons in a constant, shifting light.
Bois-des-Filion s'étire avec une tranquille obstination le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le courant semble ralentir pour épouser la courbe du Le Grand Coteau. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d'une humidité douce qui remonte de la Rivière aux Chiens, marquant le rythme des journées par un souffle tiède s'attardant sur les berges. À l'horizon, le ciel se teinte d'un gris perlé qui enveloppe les terres, tandis que le Lac Beauchemin, distant de quelques kilomètres, semble murmurer une présence secrète sous la lumière déclinante du crépuscule. Bois-des-Filion conserve dans ses espaces ouverts une mémoire de la terre, héritage d'un passé où les labeurs agricoles façonnaient l'identité des familles s'établissant sur ces sols fertiles. Aujourd'hui, la vie locale s'articule autour de cette géographie fluviale, loin de l'effervescence lointaine des grands parcs comme le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville, préférant la quiétude des secteurs riverains. Les habitants observent le mouvement incessant des eaux avec une familiarité ancienne, reconnaissant dans le ressac contre les rives le battement régulier de leur existence, une persévérance silencieuse qui fait de chaque soir un moment de plénitude sobre et sans apprêt.
