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 Cantin.
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.

Cantin is a locality in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon; La Nouvelle-Beauce, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cantin is located at 46.6233°N, 71.1611°W.
Cantin occupies a quiet reach of the landscape in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon, where the land holds the soft, lingering light of the late afternoon. It lies 16.2 km south-south-east of Lévis, QC (from Lévis, QC: bearing 158°T), and is situated 14.9 km west of Saint-Anselme. Near the Le Tas d'Écorces, the terrain settles into a stillness that seems to gather along the banks of the Le Bras, where the water moves with a translucent, deliberate clarity. The air here carries a crisp, earthen scent, particularly as the shadows deepen and the horizon pulls the sky into a muted violet. Within this expanse, the presence of the Lac aux Breakey, lying eight kilometers distant, subtly informs the moisture in the breeze, while the distant, rushing presence of the Chutes de la Chaudière, fourteen kilometers away, creates a sense of hidden movement beneath the quietude of the fields. The history of Cantin remains grounded in the persistent labor of those who first cleared these slopes to cultivate the fertile soil of La Nouvelle-Beauce. Industry in Cantin follows the steady pulse of seasonal agriculture, with fields that stretch toward the horizon, reflecting a commitment to the rhythm of the harvest. Life in Cantin retains an understated character, marked by the simple endurance of farmsteads that have stood through generations of changing winters. The people here move with a practical grace, their daily routines echoing the quiet persistence of the land itself, as if the very dust of the road understands the gravity of their work.
Cantin déploie ses terres agricoles sur un plateau doucement vallonné, là où le ciel semble s'abaisser pour caresser les champs de la Nouvelle-Beauce. À proximité du Tas d'Écorces, le paysage s'étire avec une patience ancienne, modelé par les travaux des hommes qui, depuis les premiers défrichements, ont su lire la terre pour en tirer la subsistance. Le Bras serpente non loin, offrant ses eaux calmes aux reflets changeants du crépuscule, tandis que la brise légère porte l'odeur du foin coupé et la fraîcheur humide des sols fertiles. À quelques lieues, le Lac aux Breakey conserve une quiétude minérale, offrant un contraste serein avec la force vive des Chutes de la Chaudière qui grondent à une distance respectueuse. Les habitations de Cantin, dispersées le long des routes secondaires, marquent une présence discrète qui s'harmonise avec l'horizon dégagé. La vie s'écoule ici au rythme des récoltes et de la météo, dans une simplicité qui refuse l'agitation des grands centres. Entre les parcelles cultivées et les boisés, la lumière dorée de fin de journée révèle une géographie paisible, où chaque rangée de culture semble murmurer l'histoire patiente des familles qui ont façonné ce territoire par un labeur constant et silencieux.
