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 Grand-Bras.
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.

Grand-Bras is a locality in Mont-Carmel; Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Grand-Bras is located at 47.4133°N, 69.8064°W.
Grand-Bras rests within a landscape defined by the quiet endurance of the Rocher Blanc, where the earth holds a persistent, cooling stillness even under the height of summer sun. It lies 17.7 km east-north-east of La Pocatière, QC (from La Pocatière, QC: bearing 74°T), and is situated 10.9 km east of Saint-Pacôme. The low-hanging light at dusk settles over the fields of Grand-Bras, casting long, bruised shadows that emphasize the rugged contours near the Rocher Blanc. Within this terrain, the Rivière du Loup maintains its distance at seven kilometers, a hidden presence that shapes the moisture in the air, while the expanse of Lac Saint-Pierre remains six kilometers removed from the immediate gaze of those who work the land. Beyond the local horizon, the Chutes de la Rivière Ouelle lie twelve kilometers away, their distant rush occasionally carried on the wind as a faint, rhythmic reminder of the water carving through the broader region. The soil here demands a patient hand, favoring those who understand the slow transition of seasons over the rush of modern industry. Settlement in Grand-Bras grew from the necessity of clearing the dense, rocky margins of the land, leaving behind a heritage of stubborn self-reliance that persists in the architecture of the older farmsteads. The local economy stays rooted in the cycles of the harvest, with the daily life of the inhabitants defined by the maintenance of fences and the steady, seasonal tending of crops that thrive in the rich, heavy earth of Kamouraska. A particular focus on agricultural tradition keeps the residents of Grand-Bras anchored to the land, where the community gathers to mark the turning of the year with a quiet, persistent grace. The pride of the locality rests not in grand monuments, but in the sustained labor that keeps the fields productive and the heritage of the families who first broke the ground alive through generations of consistent, honest work.
Grand-Bras s’étire sur les terres hautes de Mont-Carmel, là où le sol semble retenir le silence des aubes froides. À proximité du Rocher Blanc, le relief s’incline avec une patience minérale, dictant le rythme des travaux agricoles qui occupent les hommes depuis des générations. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les champs, révélant une horizontalité austère, seulement rompue par la présence toute proche de la Rivière du Loup qui serpente à sept kilomètres de là, apportant une respiration humide à ce territoire. Vers le sud, à six kilomètres, le Lac Saint-Pierre apaise les regards, tandis qu’à douze kilomètres, les Chutes de la Rivière Ouelle font entendre leur murmure obstiné, rappelant la puissance du courant qui façonne le pays. L’identité de Grand-Bras se forge dans cette ténacité des gens du Kamouraska, une alliance entre la terre nourricière et le ciel immense qui change de couleur selon l’humeur des vents. Chaque parcelle cultivée porte la trace d’un labeur sans ostentation, une fidélité aux racines qui ne demande aucune célébration bruyante, préférant la constance des gestes répétés dans la fraîcheur du matin, loin du tumulte, dans une solitude habitée par la terre elle-même.
