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 Contrecœur.
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.

Contrecœur is a town in Contrecœur; Marguerite-D'Youville, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Contrecœur is located at 45.8573°N, 73.2391°W.
Contrecœur sits anchored along the wide, moving silver of the St. Lawrence, where the horizon broadens to accommodate the sky’s heavy, shifting moods. It lies 22.9 km south-south-west of Sorel-Tracy, QC (from Sorel-Tracy, QC: bearing 205°T), and is situated 15.8 km east-north-east of L'Assomption. The air here tastes of damp earth and deep water, particularly near the Coteau de Salvail, where the land rises with a quiet, stubborn insistence against the river’s edge. The Rivière Saint-Jean carves its own narrow passage through the terrain, a steady thread that mirrors the stillness of the fields during the long, bruised light of a late autumn afternoon. Even when the wind pulls hard from the water, the ground remains firm, possessing a cool, clay-heavy texture that anchors the roots of the valley. The history of Contrecœur lingers in the way the local economy balances between the hum of modern industry and the persistent memory of the soil. Generations have worked these reaches, finding utility in the proximity to the shipping lanes that define the lifeblood of the province. While the Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville sits thirty-three kilometers away, the local character is defined less by distant retreats and more by the pragmatic, daily labor of the docks and the quiet persistence of those who cultivate the surrounding acreage. There is a particular clarity in the voices of the people here, a resonant honesty that seems to rise from the very proximity of the river, marking the passage of days not by clocks, but by the turning tide and the slow, deliberate rotation of the seasons.
Contrecœur s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose son souffle large et son immensité changeante aux terres basses de Marguerite-D'Youville. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les eaux, révélant la présence discrète de la Rivière Saint-Jean qui serpente non loin du Coteau de Salvail, dessinant les contours d'un paysage façonné par une longue mémoire agricole. Le regard porte loin, vers l'horizon où le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville se devine dans un lointain bleuté, marquant la limite d'un espace où l'industrie portuaire et sidérurgique dialogue désormais avec les héritages anciens. Contrecœur conserve dans sa trame urbaine une rigueur héritée des premiers défricheurs, une manière de se tenir droite face aux vents qui remontent le courant. Les façades, marquées par une simplicité robuste, racontent une existence tournée vers les grands espaces fluviaux, tandis que la terre, fertile, rappelle les racines profondes des familles établies sur ces berges depuis des siècles. Ici, le rythme quotidien s'accorde au flux incessant du passage des navires, imposant une cadence silencieuse et continue qui définit l'identité propre de Contrecœur, loin des agitations, dans le calme d'un territoire qui sait encore écouter le murmure du Saint-Laurent.
