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 Chute-à-Caron.
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.

Chute-à-Caron is a locality in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Chute-à-Caron is located at 48.4500°N, 71.2556°W.
Chute-à-Caron rests along the steady, deep pulse of the Saguenay River, where the earth rises to meet the rugged prominence of Le Grand Coteau. It lies 14.5 km west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 280°T), and is situated 14.4 km west-north-west of Chicoutimi. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the wilder north where Parc national des Monts-Valin defines the horizon some 38 km away. Near the rushing energy of Chutes Murdock, only 3 km distant, the river carries a weight that seems to slow the very light as it lingers against the granite banks during the long, amber glow of late afternoon. Further inland, the quiet stillness of Lac Virgule sits tucked away 4 km from the main currents, offering a mirror to the sky that contrast with the churning, forceful motion of the primary waterway. The history of Chute-à-Caron remains anchored to the immense power of the Saguenay River, which has long served as the engine for local industry and the shaping of the regional landscape. Generations have watched the water navigate the terrain, finding in its constant movement a reliable partner for trade and development that defines the workaday life of the people. This persistence of industry stands in quiet dialogue with the natural landmarks like Chutes Murdock, which continue to draw the eye and command respect for the sheer force of nature. Even as the seasons shift, the character of Chute-à-Caron persists, steady and unyielding, reflecting a life lived in close proximity to the elemental strengths of the land and the river.
Chute-à-Caron s’étire avec une ténacité silencieuse sur les rives de la rivière Saguenay, là où le sol semble retenir le souvenir des forces hydrauliques qui ont façonné son destin industriel. Le paysage se déploie autour du Grand Coteau, offrant une perspective minérale et robuste sous une lumière qui, à la tombée du jour, souligne les reliefs abrupts et la profondeur sombre des eaux courantes. À courte distance, les Chutes Murdock ponctuent le terrain d’une cadence sauvage, tandis que le Lac Virgule repose dans un calme retiré, contrastant avec l’ampleur du territoire qui s’ouvre vers le Parc national des Monts-Valin au loin. Cette terre, marquée par une industrie qui a domestiqué les courants, conserve une âme façonnée par le labeur et une proximité immédiate avec les éléments sauvages. Le vent qui descend des hauteurs apporte une fraîcheur constante, rappelant que Chute-à-Caron habite un espace où la rudesse du climat forge le caractère des habitants. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent de la rivière Saguenay, un courant inaltérable qui lie l’histoire des lieux à l’immensité du relief environnant, transformant chaque soir en une méditation sur la permanence du roc et la fluidité des eaux.
