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 Crique-Clair.
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.

Crique-Clair is a administrative sector in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Crique-Clair is located at 47.2760°N, 72.8540°W.
Crique-Clair rests in the quiet embrace of the rugged terrain near the Montagne de la Croix, where the land holds the deep, resonant chill of the Canadian Shield. It lies 19.1 km south-south-west of La Tuque, QC (from La Tuque, QC: bearing 197°T), and is situated 36.9 km south-east of La Petite-Ferme-Loken. The Rivière Saint-Maurice flows with a deliberate, dark gravity past this location, its currents carrying the cold secrets of the northern woods toward the wider world. Near the water, the air feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine, especially as the late sun catches the sharp rise of the Montagne de la Croix, turning the granite slopes into bruised shades of violet and slate. Only two kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Bédard acts as a mirror for the passing clouds, offering a brief, breathless pause in the relentless push of the river. Life at Crique-Clair reflects the long, industrious history of the Mauricie region, where the extraction of timber and the movement of logs down the Rivière Saint-Maurice once defined the pulse of every day. While the massive drives of the past have faded, the economy remains anchored to the land, shaped by the persistent necessity of working with wood and water. Families here maintain a connection to the cycles of the seasons, gathering near the slopes of the Montagne de la Croix to hunt or fish, their presence marking a quiet continuity against the vastness of the forest. Near the banks of the river, the wood-smoke from hearths drifts upward in the crisp morning, a thin, blue signature of human endurance that lingers long after the sun has climbed above the trees.
Crique-Clair s'étire avec une patience minérale au pied de la Montagne de la Croix, là où le sol garde la mémoire des anciennes forêts et des courants vigoureux. Le regard se perd sur les rives de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, dont les eaux sombres et puissantes dictent depuis toujours le rythme des jours, charriant les échos d'une industrie forestière qui a façonné le destin des hommes. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac Bédard repose dans un silence cristallin, offrant une halte de quiétude sous la lumière déclinante qui colore les crêtes d'un cuivre éphémère. Dans le souffle frais qui descend des hauteurs, Crique-Clair conserve une allure de terre frontière, où les gestes quotidiens s'inscrivent dans la rudesse d'un relief exigeant mais familier. Les habitants, façonnés par ce voisinage immédiat avec la pierre et le flux incessant du courant, cultivent une existence sobre, tournée vers l'essentiel et les variations subtiles du climat boréal. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'odeur des résineux, et chaque passage vers la Montagne de la Croix rappelle la permanence d'un paysage qui impose sa loi aux bâtisseurs, loin des agitations du monde, dans la solitude apaisante de la Mauricie.

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.
