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 Joffre.
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.

Joffre is a railway yard in Lévis; Chaudière-Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Joffre is located at 46.7175°N, 71.2497°W.
Joffre rests along the banks of the St. Lawrence, cradled within the rising contours of the Coteau Chevreuil. It lies 4.6 km south of Lévis, QC (from Lévis, QC: bearing 189°T), and is situated 11.2 km south-south-west of Québec. The Rivière Chaudière carves a persistent path through the terrain, its currents carrying the weight of the seasons toward the great river. Within a short distance, the Chutes de la Chaudière create a persistent, low-frequency hum that vibrates through the damp earth, while the quiet surface of Lac aux Breakey remains tucked away, a silver sliver held in the landscape about 5 km from the heart of Joffre. At dusk, the light catches the moisture rising from the Rivière Chaudière, turning the air into a thin, translucent veil that softens the edges of the trees and the heavy stones of the riverbank. Life in Joffre follows the pragmatic movements of a region shaped by the influence of the water and the demands of the land. Historically, the presence of the Rivière Chaudière dictated the expansion of local enterprise, drawing energy and transport from the flow that defines the character of this part of Quebec. The inhabitants of Joffre maintain a focus on the practicalities of their environment, moving with a purpose that respects the changing moods of the climate and the proximity of the surrounding landscape. On quiet afternoons, the sound of the nearby Chutes de la Chaudière becomes a constant companion, a reminder of the power held by the local geography, grounding the daily experience of the people in the physical reality of the falls and the river.
Joffre s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les hauteurs du Coteau Chevreuil, dominant les eaux sombres et puissantes de la Rivière Chaudière qui trace son sillon vers le Saint-Laurent. Dans ce paysage façonné par le travail des hommes et la rigueur du climat, la lumière du soir glisse sur les pentes, révélant la texture d'un sol qui a vu passer les générations. À quelques kilomètres, le grondement sourd des Chutes de la Chaudière impose un rythme immuable au silence des environs, tandis que la présence plus lointaine du Lac aux Breakey adoucit l'horizon par sa quiétude aquatique. Joffre conserve cette allure de vigie tranquille, tournée vers le passage des courants fluviaux et la vastitude du ciel québécois. Les habitations, modestes et solides, semblent s'agripper au relief, habituées aux vents qui balaient les plaines avoisinantes. Ici, la vie quotidienne se mesure au mouvement perpétuel des eaux et à la terre ferme du coteau, composant un équilibre singulier entre l'héritage agricole et l'essor industriel de la région. Les ombres s'allongent, les brumes montent du fleuve, et Joffre demeure, silencieuse et attentive, portée par cette géographie précise qui définit chaque parcelle de son existence.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
