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 Donnacona.
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.

Donnacona is a town in Donnacona; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Donnacona is located at 46.6727°N, 71.7372°W.
Donnacona rests where the currents of the St. Lawrence widen, positioned near the Coteau à Jess and the confluence of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier. It lies 30.7 km west-south-west of Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC (from Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC: bearing 252°T), and is situated 9.9 km south-south-west of Pont-Rouge. The land here holds the quiet weight of the river, where the water’s edge catches the silver light of dawn before it touches the inland fields. Beyond the shoreline, the horizon feels wide and heavy with moisture, while the distance toward Lac Henri introduces a subtle shift in the terrain, marking the transition from the riverbanks to the rolling quiet of the interior. The history of Donnacona remains anchored to the industrial currents that once defined the development of the region, specifically through the long-standing influence of the pulp and paper industry. This manufacturing legacy provided the foundation for the local economy, shaping the way the streets were laid out and how the houses cluster near the water’s edge to watch the passing ships. Even as the nature of production changes, the skyline of Donnacona retains the silhouette of its working heritage, where the air often carries the faint, sharp scent of wood and stone that lingers long after a shift ends. Life in Donnacona moves with the steady, predictable pulse of a place that understands its relationship to the water and the seasonal turning of the Quebec climate. The cultural character is defined by a sense of permanence, seen in the sturdy architecture and the way residents gather in public spaces to watch the ice break or the summer fog roll in from the St. Lawrence. While no single landmark dominates the horizon, the collective presence of those who have built their lives along the Rivière Jacques-Cartier ensures that the identity of Donnacona stays rooted in the physical reality of the land and the endurance of its people.
Donnacona s'étire avec une tranquille assurance le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa majestueuse largeur sous une lumière de fin de journée qui nimbe les berges de reflets cuivrés. Non loin de Coteau à Jess, le paysage s'ouvre sur les méandres de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier, dont les eaux apportent une fraîcheur constante aux terres fertiles de Portneuf. Les habitants habitués à ce cadre contemplent les brumes matinales qui s'élèvent, tandis qu'à une dizaine de kilomètres, le Lac Henri demeure une présence paisible, confidente des bois environnants. L'histoire de Donnacona se confond avec l'activité industrielle qui a longtemps battu le rythme de ses jours, façonnant une identité ouvrière robuste qui se lit encore dans la silhouette des bâtiments bordant les courants. Le vent venu du large apporte une odeur de terre humide et d'eau vive, rappelant la proximité immédiate de cet immense corridor maritime. En parcourant les rues de Donnacona, il est possible de percevoir la persistance d'un héritage bâti par des générations dévouées à la maîtrise de ces forces naturelles, un équilibre fragile entre le labeur quotidien et la sérénité que procure la vue constante sur l'horizon liquide et changeant.
