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 Kirouac.
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.

Kirouac is a post office in Sainte-Justine; Les Etchemins, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Kirouac is located at 46.4225°N, 70.3619°W.
Kirouac rests amidst the quiet, rising elevations of the Montagne du Treize, where the land holds the cool, persistent weight of the Canadian interior. It lies 36.1 km south-south-west of Secteur des Sentiers-Pédestres-de-Saint-Fabien, QC (from Secteur des Sentiers-Pédestres-de-Saint-Fabien, QC: bearing 203°T), and is situated 11.3 km east-north-east of Lac-Etchemin. The Rivière Famine carves a path through this terrain, its waters moving with a deliberate, steady gravity that defines the local horizon. In the late hours of the afternoon, the light settles against the slopes of the Montagne du Treize, turning the dense greens of the woods into a deep, bruised violet that feels as ancient as the bedrock itself. Three kilometers distant, the waters of Lac du Domaine-Boutin sit still, reflecting the sky with a clarity that renders the surrounding trees into mere silhouettes against the vast, shifting air. The history of Kirouac resides in the tenacity of those who cleared the timber and turned the earth toward a life sustained by the woods and the soil. While the Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon lies twenty-one kilometers away, serving as a reminder of the wilder, protected reach of the province, the daily life in Kirouac continues to turn on the labor of the forest and the small-scale agricultural rhythms that have long anchored the region of Sainte-Justine. The air here carries the scent of spruce resin and cold, damp stone, a fragrance that sharpens the mind during the long transition between seasons. Even now, the quietude of the place remains its most distinct feature, a stillness that demands a certain patience from those who work the land and watch the seasons pass over the Rivière Famine.
Kirouac s'épanouit dans les plis vallonnés des Etchemins, là où le relief s'incline avec une douceur mélancolique vers les berges de la Rivière Famine. À l'approche du crépuscule, la lumière déclinante caresse les pentes de la Montagne du Treize, étirant les ombres sur les terres agricoles dont la fertilité a dicté, depuis les premiers défrichements, le rythme laborieux des familles installées sur ces hauteurs. L'air y possède cette pureté tranchante propre aux plateaux québécois, une fraîcheur qui semble descendre des terres sauvages vers le Lac du Domaine-Boutin, situé à quelques lieues de là. Kirouac conserve dans ses silences la mémoire des colons qui ont domestiqué cette topographie exigeante, transformant le bois et le sol en une subsistance quotidienne. Au-delà des limites immédiates de ce territoire, la Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon préserve une nature intacte, rappelant aux habitants la puissance brute d'une forêt qui, jadis, imposait ses lois à chaque sentier tracé. La vie s'y organise avec une sobriété élégante, nourrie par le murmure constant de la Rivière Famine qui traverse les plaines en contrebas, offrant un repère immuable à ceux qui habitent ces contrées marquées par la rigueur du climat et la noblesse des espaces vastes.
