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 Château-Richer.
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.

Château-Richer is a town in Château-Richer; La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Château-Richer is located at 46.9696°N, 71.0177°W.
The salt-edged air and the broad, grey expanse of the St. Lawrence define the horizons of Château-Richer. It lies 7.4 km south-west of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC (from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC: bearing 226°T), and is situated 15.5 km north of Beaumont. The land here clings to the shoreline, rising from the water toward the La Grande Côte where the light at dusk turns the fields into plates of burnished copper. Nearby, the Rivière du Sault à la Puce carves a path through the terrain, its banks echoing with the persistent, cold rush of the water as it nears the Chutes du Sault à la Puce, which tumble with a force that vibrates against the soles of one’s feet. Beyond the immediate reach of the shore, the silence of the landscape is punctuated only by the shift of the tide and the distant, dark stillness of Lac Rouge. Agriculture has long held the interest of those who settle in Château-Richer, where the heavy, fertile earth rewards the patience of keepers of the soil. Since the early days of French colonization, the inhabitants have looked to the river and the inland slopes to sustain a life dictated by the seasons rather than the clock. The pace of daily existence remains tied to the turning of the harvest and the maintenance of traditional stone dwellings that sit stolidly against the northern wind. While the modern world presses in, the people maintain a quiet connection to their heritage, finding beauty in the austere lines of the landscape and the steady, enduring work required to survive upon this particular stretch of the coast.
Château-Richer s'étire avec une patience séculaire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa respiration ample et argentée aux terres fertiles de la Côte-de-Beaupré. Le vent marin s'engouffre dans les replis de La Grande Côte, apportant avec lui l'odeur du sel et la mémoire des laboureurs qui, depuis des générations, ont dompté ce sol nourricier. À proximité, la Rivière du Sault à la Puce trace son sillon paisible, murmure discret se jetant dans l'immensité, tandis que le fracas des Chutes du Sault à la Puce, situées à peine à un kilomètre, ponctue le silence de la campagne d'une note cristalline et constante. Plus loin, vers les hauteurs, le Lac Rouge veille sur le paysage comme un miroir assoupi, éloigné de dix kilomètres des habitations dispersées. Dans cette lumière déclinante qui transforme le ciel en une étoffe de nacre, Château-Richer révèle la persistance de son identité agricole et son lien indéfectible avec l'eau. Les maisons, dont l'architecture rappelle la rigueur des bâtisseurs d'autrefois, semblent puiser leur force dans cette géographie où l'histoire se lit dans la pierre et le limon, offrant aux passants le spectacle d'une existence humble, rythmée par le flux des marées et la quiétude des terres cultivées.
