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 Cap-Rouge.
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.

Cap-Rouge is a administrative sector in Québec; Capitale-Nationale, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-Rouge is located at 46.7583°N, 71.3542°W.
Cap-Rouge occupies a dramatic promontory where the land yields to the expansive waters of the St. Lawrence. The terrain rises toward the Coteau Chevreuil, a rise that catches the amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the valley carved by the Rivière du Cap Rouge. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Saint-Augustin sits in contrast to the distant, rhythmic thunder of the Chutes de la Chaudière, which carries through the air on quiet days. The atmosphere here holds a particular weight, a damp, cool clarity that defines the transition between the river’s edge and the rising inland slopes. The history of Cap-Rouge stretches back to the earliest efforts of European settlement, yet the earth itself holds a deeper, older silence that predates those stone foundations. Once a site of agricultural production and modest maritime transit, Cap-Rouge has evolved into a residential character that balances its colonial past with the practical needs of modern life. People go about their days with a steady attention to the changing seasons, mindful of the steep topography that dictates the path of every street and garden. The local pace is marked not by urgency, but by the turning of the tides and the seasonal migration of light across the cliffs, creating a life that remains grounded in the physical reality of the riverbanks.
Cap-Rouge se dresse fièrement sur les rives escarpées du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa présence souveraine et le rythme de ses marées. Le regard embrasse les hauteurs de Coteau Chevreuil avant de plonger vers les eaux tranquilles de la Rivière du Cap Rouge, dont le cours sinueux sculpte le relief avec une lenteur millénaire. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac Saint-Augustin offre un miroir immobile à la lumière changeante du crépuscule, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de la Chaudière rappelle la force brute des éléments en mouvement. L’histoire de Cap-Rouge se lit dans la stratification du sol et la persistance de ses terres agricoles, héritées de ceux qui ont su apprivoiser ces promontoires exigeants. Aujourd'hui, les demeures s'agrippent aux falaises comme pour mieux guetter l'horizon, offrant aux habitants une intimité protégée par la roche et le souffle humide venant du large. Cap-Rouge cultive cette dualité rare entre la rigueur de son passé pionnier et une douceur de vivre qui s'installe dès que le soleil décline sur le plateau, transformant l'air en une étoffe légère et froide, chargée de l'odeur des bois et de l'humidité du grand courant.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
