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 Francœur.
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.

Francœur is a administrative sector in Saint-Apollinaire; Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Francœur is located at 46.6167°N, 71.5167°W.
Francœur rests within the quiet expanse of Saint-Apollinaire, where the earth holds a steady, unassuming presence beneath the wide sky of Lotbinière. It lies 18.0 km east-south-east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 110°T), and is situated 8.5 km north-west of Saint-Agapit. The terrain surrounding Francœur draws its character from the proximity of the Les Terres Rouges, a stretch of land that anchors the local horizon with a distinct, earthen weight. Just five kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Gingras offers a reflective mirror to the passing clouds, while the Rivière des Moulanges travels through the broader landscape some nine kilometers distant. Even the air here seems to hold a particular clarity, turning sharp and crystalline as the light fades behind the fields at the end of a long day. Further afield, the Réserve écologique Jules-Carpentier lies twenty-one kilometers out, acting as a preserved threshold for the region’s natural heritage. The history of Francœur reflects the persistent labor of those who first cleared these patches of ground to make room for harvests and homesteads. Agriculture remains a foundational pulse for the inhabitants, who manage the fields with a practiced familiarity that respects the seasonal turns of the Quebec climate. While modern industry has expanded the economic reach of Saint-Apollinaire, the daily life in Francœur stays grounded in the quiet maintenance of property and the slow cycles of rural productivity. A certain modesty defines the local spirit, visible in the way the morning mist clings to the low-lying hollows before the sun warms the soil, revealing a landscape that values utility and endurance above all else.
Francœur s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses de Lotbinière, où la lumière du crépuscule semble s’attarder davantage, baignant les champs d’une teinte cuivrée qui rappelle les Terres Rouges avoisinantes. Le paysage, modelé par une agriculture tenace, s’ouvre sur un horizon dégagé dont la rigueur climatique forge le caractère des habitants. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Gingras repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que plus loin, la Rivière des Moulanges poursuit son sillage discret à travers les terres, offrant un murmure constant à la marche des jours. La présence de la Réserve écologique Jules-Carpentier, située à bonne distance, souligne le respect profond que les gens de Francœur vouent à cette nature austère, capable de transformer la rudesse des hivers en une patience silencieuse. Ici, le rythme de vie se calque sur la terre et ses exigences, loin du tumulte des grandes routes, privilégiant une existence faite de gestes répétés et d’une mémoire tenace. Francœur demeure ce point fixe dans l’immensité québécoise, un espace où le ciel, vaste et changeant, dicte ses lois aux hommes, aux machines et aux récoltes, dans une intimité partagée avec le sol généreux qui porte encore les traces d’un labeur séculaire.
