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 Courcelette.
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.

Courcelette is a military post office in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier; La Jacques-Cartier, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Courcelette is located at 46.8836°N, 71.4797°W.
Courcelette sits nestled within the quiet contours of the land, defined by the steady, cold presence of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier. It lies 16.9 km north-west of Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC (from Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC: bearing 326°T), and is situated 11.3 km south-south-west of Lac-Delage. The terrain rises toward the Colline Stony Ridge, where the earth holds a stubborn, rocky composure that resists the encroachment of the seasons. Sunlight here possesses a brittle clarity, sharpening the edges of the trees and highlighting the deep, dark currents of the water as they pull against the riverbanks. Beyond the immediate reach of the valley, Lac Richardson rests in a hollow of stillness, its surface a mirror for the shifting clouds. Life in Courcelette follows the turning of the light, grounded in a geography that demands a certain fortitude from those who inhabit its slopes. Courcelette maintains a character shaped by its proximity to the rugged, forested interior of the Canadian Shield. The economy of the region remains connected to the land, reflecting a history of resourcefulness and a steady, deliberate pace of work that mirrors the flow of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier. Traditions here are quiet, often centered on the seasonal shifts that dictate the movement of the local population. Even as the modern world presses in, Courcelette keeps a measured distance, finding value in the austerity of the Colline Stony Ridge and the isolation provided by the surrounding woodlands. The air carries a crisp, pine-scented weight, a reminder that human efforts are secondary to the ancient, enduring scale of the landscape.
Courcelette s'étire avec une humilité tranquille à proximité immédiate de la Colline Stony Ridge, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle pour mieux écouter le murmure incessant de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier. Ce paysage, marqué par une rudesse élégante, façonne le quotidien de ses habitants dont les maisons s'inscrivent dans une topographie où la roche et le courant dictent la mesure. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Richardson repose dans un silence minéral, offrant une présence apaisante qui module la lumière dorée du crépuscule sur les reliefs environnants. L'histoire de Courcelette demeure liée à cette terre de contrastes, portée par une mémoire qui privilégie la force du sol et la patience des hommes. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur particulière, celle qui descend des hauteurs pour venir s'attarder sur les rives, imprégnant les activités quotidiennes d'une sobriété héritée des pionniers. Les travaux des champs et les traces d'une industrie passée se fondent dans cette étendue où chaque pli du terrain raconte une exigence de survie et une loyauté envers le pays. En observant les ombres s'allonger sur les pentes de la Colline Stony Ridge, on saisit la singularité de ce territoire qui refuse le superflu pour ne conserver que l'essentiel de sa rudesse et de sa beauté profonde.
