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 Grandbois.
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.

Grandbois is a locality in Saint-François-Xavier-de-Viger; Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Grandbois is located at 47.8372°N, 69.2064°W.
Grandbois sits nestled within the rugged, undulating terrain of Saint-François-Xavier-de-Viger, defined by the quiet presence of the Montagne Ronde. It lies 24.6 km east of Rivière-du-Loup, QC (from Rivière-du-Loup, QC: bearing 89°T), and is situated 15.8 km west-south-west of Saint-Cyprien. The Rivière Sénescoupé carves a persistent path through the low-lying hollows, its waters reflecting the pale, bruised light that settles over the valley during the early hours of autumn. To the north, the clear expanse of Lac du Nord offers a stillness that defines the horizon, while the distant, sprawling reach of Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata anchors the wider wilderness. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity, often carrying the scent of damp earth and cooling stone as the sun retreats behind the rise of the land. Grandbois emerged from a tradition of hard-wrought labor, where the forest and the soil dictated the daily survival of its early settlers. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, leaning on the enduring practices of forestry and small-scale agriculture that have defined the region for generations. Life in Grandbois maintains a steady, deliberate pace, where the seasonal cycles of the Rivière Sénescoupé dictate the movement of the day. Modern residents continue to navigate the challenges of the terrain with a pragmatic resolve, finding value in the isolation provided by the surrounding hills and the deep, abiding silence that gathers among the trees at dusk.
Grandbois s’étire avec une patience tranquille sur les terres fertiles de Saint-François-Xavier-de-Viger, là où le relief s’incline doucement vers les rives de la Rivière Sénescoupé. Les résidents de Grandbois observent le crépuscule glisser sur la silhouette imposante de la Montagne Ronde, dont l'ombre portée semble protéger les champs et les boisés environnants. À deux kilomètres de là, les eaux calmes du Lac du Nord captent les premières lueurs bleutées du soir, offrant une quiétude que les anciens du secteur transmettent encore par le récit des travaux de la terre et du bois. L’économie locale puise sa force dans une agriculture tenace qui a su apprivoiser ce terrain accidenté, façonnant une identité façonnée par l’isolement géographique et la solidarité nécessaire des pionniers. Bien que le Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata se dresse à trente-six kilomètres, les habitants privilégient la proximité immédiate de leurs propres horizons, où le murmure de la rivière accompagne le rythme des journées. Cette terre, marquée par une longue tradition de labeur, conserve une noblesse humble, celle des lieux qui se suffisent à eux-mêmes sous un ciel immense, loin des grands centres urbains, dans le silence dense d'un paysage qui ne demande rien d'autre que d'être cultivé.
