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 Crescent Beach.
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.

Crescent Beach is a locality in Québec; Capitale-Nationale, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Crescent Beach is located at 46.7489°N, 71.3056°W.
Crescent Beach rests along the threshold where the land meets the St. Lawrence, a quiet transition of silt and stone defined by the nearby Coteau Chevreuil. It lies 3.8 km east-south-east of Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC (from Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC: bearing 106°T), and is situated 10.4 km south-west of Québec. The weight of the water governs the mood of Crescent Beach, drawing its spirit from the steady flow of the Rivière Chaudière as it moves toward the greater currents. Only four kilometers away, the Chutes de la Chaudière hold a constant, low-frequency resonance that hums through the air, while the distant, glass-still surface of Lac Saint-Augustin, seven kilometers removed, offers a contrast of stillness to the river's motion. Sunlight here catches the moisture rising from the banks, turning the late afternoon into a pale, bruised violet that lingers over the shoreline. The local life follows the seasonal shifts of the tide and the ice, with a focus on the modest industries that have long utilized the river’s accessibility. Generations have looked toward these waters for their sustenance and passage, maintaining a presence that values the persistence of the current over the haste of modern life.
Crescent Beach s’étire avec une langueur tranquille le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le courant semble ralentir pour mieux épouser les contours de Coteau Chevreuil. L’air y possède cette densité particulière des terres basses, chargée d’une humidité qui monte des eaux lorsqu’elles s’assombrissent à l’approche du soir. Non loin de là, la Rivière Chaudière poursuit son œuvre patiente, sculptant le relief avec une constance qui rappelle la persistance des travaux agricoles ayant façonné ces terres fertiles. À quelques kilomètres, le fracas sourd des Chutes de la Chaudière impose une présence sonore qui domine les jours de grand vent, tandis que les eaux plus calmes du Lac Saint-Augustin offrent un contraste serein à cette géographie active. Dans la lumière oblique du crépuscule, Crescent Beach semble suspendue dans une immobilité ancienne, où les silhouettes des arbres se découpent sur un ciel délavé par le sel et la brume fluviale. Le sol, riche et sombre, conserve la mémoire des labours successifs et des familles qui ont su lire le rythme des marées pour bâtir leur existence. Ici, le regard ne rencontre que l’étendue du fleuve et la ligne horizontale des berges, dessinant un horizon sobre où la vie quotidienne se mesure au mouvement lent des courants et au passage inlassable des saisons.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
