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-Fonds.
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-Fonds is a hamlet in La Malbaie; Charlevoix-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Grand-Fonds is located at 47.7508°N, 70.1167°W.
Grand-Fonds rests firmly against the rising shadows of the Montagne de la Rivière Noire, looking out toward the vast, cold reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 11.2 km north-north-east of La Malbaie, QC (from La Malbaie, QC: bearing 13°T), and is situated 10.3 km north-east of Clermont. The land here holds a quiet intensity, where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of spruce and the moisture of the nearby river. Beyond the immediate rise of the hills, the terrain stretches toward the distant, rugged wild of Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, while the shorter journey to the rushing Chutes Saint-Georges offers a different, more intimate weight of water and stone. To the north, the surface of Lac à Tom reflects the changing sky, providing a calm counterpoint to the distant, persistent movement of the Rivière Malbaie. At dusk, the light catches the slopes of the Montagne de la Rivière Noire, turning the high ridges into deep violet silhouettes that seem to hold the silence of the valley until morning. Grand-Fonds maintains a character defined by the sturdy labor of those who have long worked the forest and the soil of Charlevoix-Est. The local economy stays rooted in the rhythms of the land, shifting with the seasons as the inhabitants manage the harvest and the timber that has sustained families for generations. Life in Grand-Fonds follows the cycles of the climate, where the winter snows demand a particular focus and the summer months encourage a brief, bright burst of activity. Tradition here is found in the persistence of small, family-owned operations and the shared knowledge of the woods that connects the people to the geography of their home. Every road leads back to the familiar, grounded presence of the mountains, ensuring that the daily life of the residents remains focused on the immediate, tangible reality of the landscape.
Grand-Fonds s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief se cabre pour épouser la Montagne de la Rivière Noire. L’air y possède une netteté tranchante, une qualité de froid qui semble polir chaque arête du terrain avant que le crépuscule ne dépose ses teintes de cuivre sur les pentes. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Tom demeure un miroir immobile sous la voûte changeante, tandis que les Chutes Saint-Georges murmurent une cadence permanente aux promeneurs attentifs. Plus loin, le cours de la Rivière Malbaie dessine une courbe lente dans la vallée, rappelant l’importance des eaux dans le façonnage de ce sol rocailleux et fertile. Si le Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie impose sa majesté sauvage à la périphérie, Grand-Fonds préserve une existence plus intime, rythmée par le travail des terres et les rigueurs d’un climat qui exige une vigilance constante. Ici, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice sous un ciel vaste, où les habitants composent avec la verticalité du paysage. La persistance de Grand-Fonds dans cet environnement exigeant souligne une volonté farouche de demeurer, de cultiver le lien avec cette terre haute et balayée par les vents, loin du tumulte, dans le silence des grands espaces charlevoisiens.
