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 Custeau.
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.

Custeau is a locality in Thetford Mines; Les Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Custeau is located at 46.2139°N, 71.2489°W.
Custeau rests within the quiet, rolling contours of the landscape near the Colline Harvey, where the land holds the cool, persistent dampness of the north. It lies 14.5 km north-north-east of Thetford Mines, QC (from Thetford Mines, QC: bearing 16°T), and is situated 13.2 km west of East Broughton. The Rivière Palmer carves a persistent path through the terrain, its waters moving with a deliberate, low-voiced clarity that defines the character of the ground here. Light at dusk settles heavily upon the fields, turning the grasses to a pale, burnished copper before the shadows of the hills stretch long and thin across the soil. Five kilometers away, the surface of Lac à Thom mirrors the shifting sky, while the distant, rushing presence of Chutes Bailey lingers in the memory of the air, a reminder of the restless movement of water through this quiet pocket of Les Appalaches. The history of Custeau is marked by the steady, industrious spirit of Thetford Mines, an identity forged through the extraction of resources and the hard labor of generations. Life here moves in accordance with the turning of the seasons, maintaining a focus on the land that once sustained the primary industries of the region. Though the bustle of the larger mining centers lies elsewhere, the influence of that heritage persists in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the practical disposition of the local residents. Thirty-nine kilometers distant, the protected expanse of Parc national de Frontenac offers a vast, preserved silence, yet the immediate surroundings of Custeau retain their own distinct sense of purpose. People here attend to their days with a grounded attentiveness, observing the subtle shifts in the wind and the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying hollows, finding value in the simple, ongoing endurance of the life they have built.
Custeau s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les contreforts des Appalaches, là où le relief tourmenté de la terre semble s’adoucir en larges vallonnements. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes de la Colline Harvey, déposant une patine dorée sur les labours et les boisés qui bordent la Rivière Palmer. Dans ce repli du Québec, l’eau dessine des méandres qui accompagnent le labeur quotidien des habitants, héritiers d’une ténacité agricole façonnée par les rudesses du climat. À quelques lieues, le Lac à Thom miroite sous un ciel immense, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Bailey rappelle la puissance contenue de ces terres anciennes. Plus loin, les vastes étendues du Parc national de Frontenac veillent sur l’horizon, offrant un contraste saisissant avec la quiétude des champs alentour. Custeau conserve une mémoire faite de gestes lents, ceux qui domptent la terre et respectent le silence des vallées. Ici, le vent porte souvent l’odeur de la terre retournée et des pins, une respiration lente qui traverse les générations sans jamais se presser. Chaque parcelle de ce sol raconte une histoire de patience, une manière singulière d’habiter ces hauteurs où la nature impose sa présence discrète mais indomptable, loin du tumulte des cités trop pressées.
