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 Domaine-La Poudrière.
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.

Domaine-La Poudrière is a residential area in Shawinigan; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Domaine-La Poudrière is located at 46.5667°N, 72.6833°W.
Domaine-La Poudrière occupies a quiet, rugged stretch of land nestled near the rising slopes of Mont Georges. It lies 24.7 km east-north-east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 72°T), and is situated 5.5 km east-north-east of Shawinigan. The terrain here holds the cool, damp breath of the north, with the Rivière aux Rouilles tracing a persistent path through the surrounding brush and stone. Only a kilometer away, the surface of Lac Claire mirrors the changing sky, offering a stillness that contrasts with the distant, thunderous roar of the Chutes de Shawinigan. As evening settles, the light across the landscape softens into a bruised violet, turning the elevation of the terrain into long, dark silhouettes that anchor the horizon. While the expansive wilderness of Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie lies further to the north, the immediate vicinity remains defined by this intimate interplay of forest, rock, and shifting water. The history of Domaine-La Poudrière carries the weight of industrial ambition, reflecting a past where the volatility of materials demanded a respectful distance from the centers of human activity. The local economy and the daily lives of those nearby have long been shaped by the presence of these waterways and the necessity of navigating the difficult, uneven ground. Much of the character of the region persists in the quiet endurance of its structures, which stand against the seasonal pressures of heavy snow and spring thaw. Life at Domaine-La Poudrière moves with a deliberate intensity, observing a tradition of labor that respects the raw, unyielding nature of the Canadian shield. Residents often find a peculiar beauty in the way the frost clings to the edges of the Rivière aux Rouilles, marking the passage of seasons with a clarity that feels both ancient and immediate.
Domaine-La Poudrière s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière aux Rouilles, là où le terrain s'incline doucement vers le Mont Georges. Dans cette contrée façonnée par l'industrie poudrière, l'air conserve une fraîcheur particulière, chargée des effluves humides qui montent des eaux courantes. À peine à un kilomètre de là, le Lac Claire miroite sous les cieux changeants, offrant une étendue de calme absolu qui contraste avec le fracas lointain, perceptible par temps clair, des Chutes de Shawinigan situées à quelques lieues. Le relief, bien que modeste, impose une certaine rigueur à ceux qui cultivent ces terres, rappelant l'époque où la force hydraulique dictait le rythme des jours. En se dirigeant vers le nord, le paysage s'ouvre sur les vastes étendues du Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie, dont la présence sauvage influence la lumière déclinante, parant les arbres d'une nuance cuivrée lorsque le soleil bascule derrière les hauteurs. Domaine-La Poudrière préserve ainsi une identité singulière, forgée par cette proximité immédiate avec des forces naturelles impérieuses qui, depuis toujours, dictent la marche des hommes dans ce repli du Québec où chaque sentier semble raconter une lente domestication de la forêt.
