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 Bourgault.
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.

Bourgault is a hamlet in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli; L'Islet, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Bourgault is located at 47.1971°N, 70.2817°W.
Bourgault rests along the edge of the St. Lawrence, where the shifting salt tides press against the quiet curve of the Cap à Variste. It lies 26.9 km south-west of La Pocatière, QC (from La Pocatière, QC: bearing 224°T), and is situated 10.4 km north-east of L'Islet-sur-Mer. The Rivière Port Joli carves a narrow, persistent path through the land, its current carrying the scent of damp earth and cold stone toward the wider channel. Beyond the shoreline, the horizon holds a heavy, silver light at dusk that seems to pull the sky down until it brushes the dark spruce. Inland, the terrain reaches toward the hills, and ten kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Trois Saumons mirrors the changing clouds, anchoring the rural expanse in a deep, glassy calm. The history of Bourgault gathers in the steady labor of those who have long harvested the timber and worked the fields, maintaining a life defined by the seasonal turn of the northern climate. Local industry remains tied to the raw, enduring materials of the region, where woodcraft and agriculture define the daily movement of the inhabitants. Artisans here carry forward a tradition of manual skill that turns cedar and pine into enduring forms, mirroring the patience required to thrive in such a climate. Bourgault functions with a deliberate focus, finding its identity in the quiet intersection of maritime weather and the stubborn, fertile soil that sustains its people.
Bourgault s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Cap à Variste avance sa terre ferme contre les marées salées. Le paysage s'ordonne autour de la Rivière Port Joli, dont les eaux tracent un sillage tranquille avant de s'effacer dans le fleuve. À une dizaine de kilomètres vers l'arrière-pays, le Lac Trois Saumons repose dans une cuvette naturelle, offrant un contraste de calme aux vents qui balayent la côte. L'histoire de Bourgault se lit dans le grain du bois sculpté par des mains héritières d'un savoir-faire artisanal, une tradition qui façonne encore aujourd'hui l'identité de ces habitants tournés vers le large. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée d'iode et de cette clarté crépusculaire qui semble suspendre le temps sur les berges. La vie quotidienne s'y écoule avec la régularité des courants, portée par une économie qui respecte la lenteur nécessaire à la création et au travail de la matière. Entre l'immensité du fleuve et la présence discrète des forêts intérieures, Bourgault maintient une existence singulière, faite d'une ténacité héritée des pionniers et d'une esthétique simple, presque minérale, qui lie chaque demeure à la géographie rigoureuse de cette partie du Québec.
