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-aux-Galets.
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-aux-Galets is a hamlet in Saint-David-de-Falardeau; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Chute-aux-Galets is located at 48.6511°N, 71.1994°W.
Chute-aux-Galets rests where the land rises toward the rugged terrain of Le Grand Coteau, finding its pulse in the steady movement of the Rivière Shipshaw. It lies 26.8 km north-north-west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 338°T), and is situated 14.9 km north-east of Saint-Ambroise. The water here carries a persistent, cold clarity, carving a path through the stone that defines the local topography. At dusk, the light catches the spray of the Rivière Shipshaw, turning the mist into something silver and fleeting against the deepening shadows of the surrounding trees. Lac des Cèdres sits quiet and still only 1 km away, acting as a mirror to the expansive sky, while the distant, imposing presence of Parc national des Monts-Valin looms 30 km away, anchoring the horizon in a permanent, wild grandeur. Even when the wind settles, the proximity of Les Trois Chutes, located 18 km away, suggests a landscape defined by the constant, restless energy of moving water. The history of Chute-aux-Galets remains inseparable from the timber and power that the Rivière Shipshaw has provided for generations. Local industry has long looked to the river to sustain the economy, drawing families to settle along the banks where the current is most reliable. Life in Chute-aux-Galets follows the seasonal shifts of the Quebec climate, moving from the heavy, insulating snows of winter to the sudden, bright growth of a brief northern summer. Residents move with a quiet sense of purpose, their days structured by the needs of a landscape that demands respect for its scale and its cold, crystalline beauty. Whether working the land or navigating the woods, the people of Chute-aux-Galets maintain a sturdy, modest connection to the rugged earth that surrounds them.
Chute-aux-Galets s’épanouit dans une solitude minérale, là où la Rivière Shipshaw déploie ses méandres vigoureux contre le flanc abrupt du Grand Coteau. L’air y possède une densité particulière, une fraîcheur chargée de sève et de roche qui descend des hauteurs, balayant les terres façonnées par une longue tradition de labeur forestier. À peine à un kilomètre, le Lac des Cèdres offre une nappe d’eau sombre et immobile, contrastant avec le tumulte organisé des eaux qui, plus loin, vers les Trois Chutes, sculpte le relief avec une patience millénaire. Les habitants, habitués à la rigueur de ce climat boréal, observent la lumière du soir glisser sur les crêtes, révélant la texture brute du terrain qui s'étire vers le Parc national des Monts-Valin. À Chute-aux-Galets, le silence ne signifie jamais l'absence, mais plutôt une présence attentive du paysage, une résonance entre la force du courant et la ténacité des hommes qui ont bâti leur existence sur ces rives escarpées. Chaque pierre polie par le courant semble raconter une histoire de patience, tandis que la nature sauvage, omniprésente, encadre cette vie quotidienne où le rythme est dicté par le murmure incessant de la Rivière Shipshaw, véritable colonne vertébrale de ce territoire exigeant.
