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 Gentilly.
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.

Gentilly is a administrative sector in Bécancour; Bécancour, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Gentilly is located at 46.4000°N, 72.2750°W.
Gentilly rests upon the southern banks of the St. Lawrence, a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of water and the openness of the horizon. It lies 21.5 km east-north-east of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 73°T), and is situated 13.5 km east-north-east of Bécancour. The Rivière de la Ferme winds through the terrain, its currents carrying the cool, damp breath of the river toward the interior, while the nearby Coteau Normandin provides a subtle elevation that breaks the flat expanse of the shoreline. At dusk, the light turns a bruised violet, catching the silt in the water and lending the surface a metallic, shifting sheen that mirrors the expanse of the sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape holds its secrets in the distance, with Chutes Thibodeau situated eight kilometers away and the quiet expanse of Lac Rose located eleven kilometers further inland. These features anchor the geography of the sector, grounding the residents in a cycle of seasonal movement where the air remains heavy with the scent of pine and wet stone. Agriculture and industry define the character of Gentilly, where the labor of the land has long dictated the flow of daily life. The history of the region is rooted in the steady cultivation of the soil, an endeavor that requires a patient endurance against the biting winters that descend upon the banks of the St. Lawrence. Local trade and the production of energy have shaped the economic vitality of the sector, drawing strength from the proximity to the water and the reliable, heavy rhythm of the regional power infrastructure. Throughout the day, the sound of machinery and the movement of transport vehicles provide a persistent, low-frequency hum that settles into the background of the quiet streets. The people here carry a reserved, sturdy disposition, preferring the company of the wind and the predictable return of the seasons to the clamor of more crowded centers.
Gentilly déploie ses horizons sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa cadence souveraine aux terres de Bécancour. À proximité de Coteau Normandin, le terrain s'étire en une plaine fertile que traverse avec une douceur insistante la Rivière de la Ferme, laquelle trace un sillon paisible à travers les champs cultivés. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de l'humidité vive du large, surtout lorsque le crépuscule dépose une lumière ambrée sur les rangs agricoles. À huit kilomètres, les Chutes Thibodeau marquent le paysage d'un murmure constant, tandis que, plus loin, le Lac Rose repose dans un silence minéral à onze kilomètres de distance. L'histoire de Gentilly se lit dans la persistance de son architecture traditionnelle et dans le labeur de ses habitants, dont la vie quotidienne s'accorde au rythme des marées et des récoltes. Cette localité, marquée par une industrie qui surplombe les eaux, conserve une noblesse rustique, une manière de se tenir droite face au vent qui remonte le courant. Gentilly demeure une présence singulière, un espace où le ciel bas et les étendues d'eau se répondent dans une clarté presque liquide, offrant aux regards attentifs la vision d'un terroir qui refuse l'effacement.
