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 L'Abord-à-Plouffe.
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.

L'Abord-à-Plouffe is a residential area in Laval; Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. L'Abord-à-Plouffe is located at 45.5372°N, 73.7358°W.
L’Abord-à-Plouffe occupies a deliberate position along the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the water with a quiet, persistent gravity. It lies 14.5 km west-north-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 283°T), and is situated 1.7 km south-south-east of Laval. The proximity of the Les Écores shapes the horizon, providing a structural edge to the local topography that anchors the view against the shifting sky. While the Rivière du Chicot flows through the broader landscape some 11 km away, the local atmosphere remains defined by the immediate presence of the river, which catches the low, pale light of late afternoon and turns it into a mirror of cool slate. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the geography extends toward the distant Lac aux Castors at 12 km and the expansive Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville at 22 km, yet the daily experience here is defined by the intimate scale of the shore. Historically, L’Abord-à-Plouffe emerged as a point of transit and settlement, drawing its character from the river-borne trade and the steady transit of those navigating the currents of the St. Lawrence. The local economy transitioned from its early reliance on the water to a modern suburban identity, though the old weight of the river remains in the way the morning mist clings to the foundations of the houses. Residents move through their routines with a practical focus, yet there is a distinct beauty in the sight of the streetlamps flickering to life against the darkening water. This locality holds its history in the quiet persistence of its older streets, standing as a firm presence in a landscape that has long been defined by the movement of the tides and the patient endurance of the shore.
L'Abord-à-Plouffe s'étire avec une tranquille assurance le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s'attarde sur la courbe des Écores. Le paysage, façonné par une proximité immédiate avec l'eau, impose un rythme singulier à ceux qui habitent ces terres marquées par une lente transformation agricole puis résidentielle. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière du Chicot serpente dans un silence presque minéral, tandis que le Lac aux Castors et le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville composent un horizon lointain mais familier, rappelant la présence constante d'une nature généreuse. L'histoire de L'Abord-à-Plouffe se lit dans les façades qui font face au courant, conservant les échos de ces familles qui, autrefois, trouvaient dans la pêche et le passage vers l'autre rive leur raison d'être. Sous la lumière oblique du crépuscule, l'air devient dense, chargé d'une humidité douce qui semble suspendre le mouvement des rues. La vie quotidienne ici se déploie sans artifice, portée par un attachement profond à ce sol qui borde le grand fleuve. Chaque recoin, chaque angle de rue offre une perspective sur l'immensité liquide, transformant l'ordinaire en une suite de moments simples où le ciel et les rives se confondent dans une clarté apaisante.
