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 Des Ormeaux.
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.

Des Ormeaux is a hamlet in Bécancour; Bécancour, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Des Ormeaux is located at 46.3339°N, 72.5125°W.
Des Ormeaux rests where the land levels into the Plateau Laval, held in a quiet embrace by the St. Lawrence. It lies 2.6 km east-south-east of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 113°T), and is situated 14.4 km north-north-east of Nicolet. The Rivière Saint-Maurice carves a deliberate path through the terrain nearby, its currents carrying the cold, clear memory of the north toward the wider basin. When the sun retreats, the light here turns a bruised, translucent violet, catching the edges of the distant Lac aux Outardes, which lies four kilometers away in the stillness of the hinterland. The air in Des Ormeaux holds a damp, metallic clarity, a weight that settles upon the shoulders of the landscape as the day turns toward the evening chill. Life in Des Ormeaux follows the demands of a soil that has long supported the industrious cycles of agriculture and regional commerce. The residents maintain a steady connection to the river, respecting the seasonal shifts that dictate the flow of goods and the quiet maintenance of the shoreline. While the industrial pulse of Bécancour hums in the distance, Des Ormeaux retains a localized character, defined by the persistence of those who work the earth and watch the water. Traditions here are rarely spoken aloud, manifesting instead in the way the local gates are latched against the wind or how the barns are kept against the encroaching frost, ensuring that the legacy of the land remains visible in the simple, honest architecture of the fields.
Des Ormeaux s'étire avec une patience infinie sur les terres basses du Plateau Laval, là où le souffle du Saint-Laurent vient refroidir les labours au sortir de l'été. La lumière décline sur les rives de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, déposant une teinte d'ocre sur les champs qui, depuis des générations, dictent le rythme des travaux et la fierté des habitants. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac aux Outardes dort sous une fine brume, gardien silencieux d'un horizon qui semble ne jamais vouloir finir. L'économie locale, portée par l'héritage agricole et les activités qui longent les eaux, façonne une existence où chaque geste répond à la nécessité de la terre. Les familles, dont les racines plongent dans ce sol fertile de Bécancour, cultivent un attachement viscéral à cette plaine qui s'ouvre généreusement vers le grand large. À Des Ormeaux, le quotidien se mesure au passage des marées et à la rigueur des hivers, dans une simplicité qui ne cherche pas à se parer de luxe, préférant la vérité brute du grain et du courant. Sous le ciel immense, le paysage se livre sans artifice, révélant une beauté austère que seuls ceux qui habitent ces bords reconnaissent comme leur véritable demeure.
