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-Santé.
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-Santé is a town in Cap-Santé; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-Santé is located at 46.6701°N, 71.7705°W.
Cap-Santé perches upon the high, sloping banks of the St. Lawrence, where the vast river mirrors the shifting moods of the sky. It lies 2.6 km west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 263°T), and is situated 11.2 km south-south-west of Pont-Rouge. The land here holds a quiet gravity, marked by the nearby Coteau à Jess and the persistent, cool pull of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier as it nears its confluence. When the wind moves off the water, it carries a sharpness that turns the light to silver, casting long, austere shadows across the fields that have been tilled for generations. A short distance away, the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon preserves a quiet, untamed wildness, while the deeper inland reaches hold the still, hidden presence of Lac Henri. The horizon is wide and indifferent, grounding the observer in a landscape that feels both ancient and perpetually renewed by the tide. Cap-Santé retains the character of a place that grew slowly alongside the river, its architecture reflecting a long devotion to the steep shoreline. The economy has historically looked toward the water, with the rhythms of the village dictated by the changing seasons and the demands of the soil. Walking through the streets, one notices how the stone foundations of the oldest houses seem to grow directly out of the earth, sturdy and unadorned against the elements. Life here moves with a deliberate, steady pace, shaped by the proximity of the water and the enduring presence of the surrounding natural features. Even now, the daily life of Cap-Santé maintains a connection to the quiet strength of the river, as if the inhabitants are listening to a conversation between the land and the current that never truly ceases.
Cap-Santé s'étire avec une noblesse tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose son rythme souverain et ses reflets changeants aux terres de Portneuf. Les habitations anciennes, aux toitures inclinées et aux jardins soignés, observent le courant depuis le promontoire, tandis que la proximité de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier ajoute une note de fraîcheur vive à l'air marin. À quelques kilomètres, le silence de la Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon protège une nature presque intacte, offrant un contraste saisissant avec les champs cultivés qui bordent le Lac Henri. L'âme de Cap-Santé se perçoit dans ce dialogue constant entre l'eau et la terre, où les habitants cultivent un attachement profond aux cycles de la terre et à la pérennité de leur patrimoine bâti. Au crépuscule, lorsque la lumière dorée enveloppe les clochers et les boisés environnants, le paysage semble se figer dans une sérénité hors du monde, rappelant l'époque des premiers établissements qui ont choisi ces hauteurs pour la vue imprenable sur les marées. Chaque rue de Cap-Santé murmure une histoire de labeur et de patience, portée par une brise qui circule librement depuis le grand large jusqu'aux vergers, maintenant cette élégance discrète propre aux lieux qui ont su préserver leur caractère à travers les décennies.
