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 De Quen-Nord.
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.

De Quen-Nord is a administrative sector in Saint-François-de-Sales; Le Domaine-du-Roy, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. De Quen-Nord is located at 48.3396°N, 72.1282°W.
De Quen-Nord occupies a rugged stretch of terrain in Saint-François-de-Sales within Le Domaine-du-Roy, defined by the stoic presence of the Monts Jumeaux. It lies 21.0 km south-south-east of Roberval, QC (from Roberval, QC: bearing 161°T), and is situated 11.1 km south-south-west of Chambord. The land here holds a particular quality of silence, where the air feels thin and sharp against the skin, especially as the evening light catches the granite ridges of the Monts Jumeaux. Only three kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Canard reflects the dense coniferous canopy, offering a quiet counterpoint to the more active currents of the Rivière Ouiatchouan, which carves its path through the lower reaches some six kilometers distant. De Quen-Nord maintains a character shaped by the endurance required to inhabit such a northern boreal expanse, where the frost lingers long into the spring and the forest demands a profound respect for its boundaries. Life in De Quen-Nord adheres to the practical demands of the regional economy, which has long turned toward the bounty and challenge of the surrounding timberlands. Families in Saint-François-de-Sales carry forward a history rooted in the hard labor of forestry and the seasonal cycles of a climate that dictates the pace of every project. While the modern world presses in through the steady hum of transport along the local routes, the daily existence of those in De Quen-Nord remains focused on the immediate, tangible work of maintaining a livelihood against the backdrop of the hills. There is a lean beauty in the way the local architecture hunkers down against the wind, a functional aesthetic that prioritizes warmth and shelter over ornament.
De Quen-Nord s'étire sur les terres hautes de Saint-François-de-Sales, là où le sol semble retenir une part du silence boréal dans la rigueur de son relief. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes des Monts Jumeaux pour venir mourir doucement contre les boisés, tandis qu'à trois kilomètres, le Lac Canard offre une surface miroitante, presque immobile, qui capte les dernières lueurs du jour. Plus loin, à six kilomètres, la Rivière Ouiatchouan trace son sillage parmi les roches et les sapinières, rappelant la patience nécessaire pour apprivoiser cette géographie austère. Dans ce secteur du Domaine-du-Roy, l'économie puise sa force dans une relation directe avec la terre, héritière d'une tradition agricole qui façonne encore les pratiques locales avec une lenteur réfléchie. Les habitants de De Quen-Nord connaissent le poids de l'air vif qui descend des hauteurs et la texture particulière des matins givrés. Chaque parcelle, chaque chemin de terre, porte la marque de ceux qui ont défriché ces étendues, transformant les aspérités du terrain en une existence sobre. Ici, la vie se mesure à la constance des travaux des champs et à la sagesse apprise auprès des éléments, loin des bruits du monde, dans une quiétude que seul le vent trouble parfois en traversant les frondaisons.
