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 Fond-à-Patoche.
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.

Fond-à-Patoche is a locality in Saint-Gervais; Bellechasse, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Fond-à-Patoche is located at 46.7017°N, 70.8247°W.
Fond-à-Patoche sits nestled within the rolling, fertile terrain of Saint-Gervais, defined by the enduring presence of the Rocher Turgeon. It lies 31.7 km east-south-east of Québec, QC (from Québec, QC: bearing 113°T), and is situated 13.2 km north-east of Saint-Anselme. The landscape holds a particular clarity at dusk, when the light lingers against the horizon, casting long, soft shadows across the fields that seem to breathe under the weight of the cooling air. While the waters of the Rivière du Moulin flow some 8 km away, the immediate vicinity feels defined by the quiet stillness of the earth, punctuated only by the distant, hidden presence of Lac du Troisième Rang located 4 km from the heart of the settlement. The proximity of Chutes Rouillard, lying 13 km distant, adds a subtle sense of movement to the regional geography, grounding the location in a physical reality that feels both ancient and settled. The history of Fond-à-Patoche remains quiet and deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of Bellechasse, where the cycles of the seasons dictate the pace of daily work. Industry here has long been tied to the land, with the economy reflecting the steady, deliberate labor required to cultivate the soil of this region. Beyond the local fields, the ecological significance of the area is marked by the Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon, situated 31 km away, which serves as a reminder of the wilder, undisturbed character of the broader landscape. Life here moves with a focused intentionality, where the texture of the fields and the seasonal shift of the woods provide a constant, grounding baseline for those who inhabit the land.
Fond-à-Patoche s’étire sur les terres vallonnées de Bellechasse, là où la terre semble retenir le souffle du jour déclinant dans une lumière dorée qui caresse les sillons agricoles. À proximité du Rocher Turgeon, la topographie dessine un relief calme, rythmé par la présence discrète du Lac du Troisième Rang, dont les eaux miroitent sous la voûte céleste avec une sérénité immuable. Les habitants, héritiers d'une patience paysanne, cultivent ces parcelles fertiles en harmonie avec le cycle des récoltes, tandis que la Rivière du Moulin serpente à quelques lieues, murmurant aux berges une mélodie presque imperceptible. Plus loin, la silhouette des Chutes Rouillard impose une cadence plus vive à la géographie environnante, rappelant la vigueur des cours d'eau qui façonnent depuis toujours le visage de la région. Le paysage, marqué par la proximité de la Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon, offre une quiétude rare où le silence n’est troublé que par le vent dans les feuillages. Fond-à-Patoche conserve ainsi cette authenticité propre aux espaces où le travail de la terre demeure la mesure première de l'existence, loin du tumulte des grandes routes, invitant celui qui s'y attarde à contempler la noblesse simple d'un horizon qui ne cherche jamais à se trahir.
