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-de-la-Madeleine.
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-de-la-Madeleine is a administrative sector in Trois-Rivières; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Cap-de-la-Madeleine is located at 46.3722°N, 72.5167°W.
The expansive, low-lying horizon of Cap-de-la-Madeleine rests where the currents of the St. Lawrence meet the determined rush of the Rivière Saint-Maurice. It lies 3.8 km north-north-east of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 32°T), and is situated 6.8 km west-north-west of Bécancour. The land surrounding Cap-de-la-Madeleine rises with a subtle, steady purpose toward the Plateau Laval, where the earth holds a quiet firmness beneath the shifting light of dusk. To the east, the stillness of Lac Montplaisir offers a hidden, reflective contrast to the heavy, churning movement of the nearby river channels. During the transition between seasons, the air carries a crisp, metallic sharpenss that seems to refine the edges of the buildings and the long, straight lines of the streets. Here, the water dictates the mood of the day, reflecting a pale, silver sky that deepens into violet as the wind pushes against the reeds and the riverbanks. History permeates the architecture of Cap-de-la-Madeleine, visible in the enduring stone and the tall, solemn spires that rise above the rooflines to mark the passage of time. The local economy draws its vitality from the legacy of industrial labor and the steady pulse of the river trade, which once defined the movement of goods and people through the Mauricie region. Residents move with a deliberate grace, respecting the weight of a heritage that values both the sanctity of the past and the practical demands of a modern port. Traditions persist in the quiet corners of the parish, where the memory of early settlers lingers in the names of the roads and the enduring configuration of the older, sturdy homes.
Cap-de-la-Madeleine s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où les eaux vastes et froides semblent ralentir leur course pour saluer le passage de la Rivière Saint-Maurice. La lumière du crépuscule s'attarde sur les façades, étirant les ombres des maisons vers ce Plateau Laval qui domine doucement les plaines environnantes. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Montplaisir dort dans une immobilité minérale, conservant le silence des terres intérieures sous un ciel qui s'assombrit. Les habitants de Cap-de-la-Madeleine ont longtemps façonné leur quotidien en fonction du souffle puissant de ces courants, édifiant leurs demeures face à l'immensité mouvante du fleuve. L'air y possède une texture particulière, une humidité chargée du souvenir des navires et du labeur des hommes qui ont bâti l'industrie sur ces berges argileuses. Ici, la vie se déploie avec une lenteur calculée, presque solennelle, portée par le bruissement des roseaux et le ressac constant contre les quais. Les jours s'écoulent sans fracas, dans une fidélité aux horizons ouverts et aux eaux qui lient le destin des hommes à la géographie rigoureuse de la Mauricie, offrant une quiétude que seul le vent, remontant du large, vient parfois troubler.

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.
