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 Canton-des-Roches.
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.

Canton-des-Roches is a locality in Saint-Onésime-d'Ixworth; Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Canton-des-Roches is located at 47.3578°N, 69.9400°W.
Canton-des-Roches emerges from the rugged terrain of the Montagne du Petit Rang, where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence with a persistent, quiet gravity. It lies 7.1 km east of La Pocatière, QC (from La Pocatière, QC: bearing 101°T), and is situated 4.8 km south of Saint-Pacôme. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, especially at dusk when the fading light catches the mist rising from the La Grande Rivière. Only three kilometers away, the Chutes de la Rivière Ouelle carve a persistent path through the stone, their sound a constant, low-frequency presence that defines the stillness of the surrounding woods. Further into the interior, Lac à Ti-Pierre rests in a hollow of the landscape, its surface reflecting the changing moods of the sky with a mirror-like precision that makes the surrounding trees seem twice as tall. The history of Canton-des-Roches aligns with the enduring labor of those who cleared the dense timber to establish farms along the challenging slopes of Saint-Onésime-d'Ixworth. Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the region, though the steep character of the land demands a deliberate, measured approach to every season of planting and harvest. The residents maintain a sturdy independence, finding significance in the simple persistence of their daily routines against the backdrop of the shifting seasons. Even as modern demands press in, Canton-des-Roches keeps its focus on the immediate horizon, where the work of the hands finds its purpose in the honest, cold earth and the vast, unyielding sky.
Canton-des-Roches s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin vient caresser la Montagne du Petit Rang. Dans ce repli de la terre, les journées se déploient au rythme lent des eaux de La Grande Rivière, dont le cours forge depuis longtemps le caractère des gens d’ici. Le paysage, baigné d’une lumière crue qui semble vouloir révéler chaque nervure du sol, s’ouvre sur des horizons où le ciel et le fleuve fusionnent dans une clarté presque liquide. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac à Ti-Pierre dort dans un silence végétal, tandis que le fracas sourd des Chutes de la Rivière Ouelle rappelle la puissance indomptée des courants qui dévalent vers la vallée. Canton-des-Roches porte en lui les marques d’une agriculture tenace, héritière d’un labeur qui a su apprivoiser les pentes escarpées et le froid vif du Kamouraska. La terre, généreuse pour qui sait l’écouter, conserve les souvenirs des familles qui ont bâti leur existence sur ces plateaux balayés par les vents. Chaque soir, quand l’ombre s’allonge sur les champs, la sérénité du lieu devient une présence tangible, une promesse de permanence offerte à ceux qui habitent ce coin de pays singulier.
