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'Île-à-Tessier.
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'Île-à-Tessier is a resort in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade; Les Chenaux, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. L'Île-à-Tessier is located at 46.6043°N, 72.2092°W.
L'Île-à-Tessier rests low against the currents of the Rivière Sainte-Anne, an island defined by the persistent, rhythmic push of water toward the nearby St. Lawrence. It lies 36.8 km west-south-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 258°T), and is situated 14.9 km south-west of Saint-Marc-des-Carrières. The land here holds the damp coolness of the riverbed, where the quality of light at dusk seems to thicken, turning the surrounding reeds into silhouettes against the darkening sky. Near the Cap de Roche, the terrain suggests a quiet endurance, shaped by the seasonal swelling of the banks that have long dictated the movement of those who live along these shores. While Lac à la Barbotte remains a distant stillness to the north and the Chutes de la Cheminée offer their distant, rushing energy, the immediate horizon of L'Île-à-Tessier is dominated by the steady, unceasing flow of the river. The history of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade informs the daily life of this locality, where the legacy of early settlers persists in the way the land is still worked and respected. Agriculture and the seasonal shifts of the river have long provided the foundations for the local economy, creating a cycle of labor that mirrors the rising and falling of the Rivière Sainte-Anne. People here move with a practiced familiarity, their routines adjusted to the nuances of the weather and the demands of the soil. Even as modern life moves forward, the character of L'Île-à-Tessier retains a grounded sensibility, marked by the simple, enduring architecture of the region and the quiet pride of a population that knows the river intimately.
L’Île-à-Tessier s’étire avec une langueur mélancolique sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa puissance tranquille à proximité de Cap de Roche. Dans cet espace où la terre et l’eau se frôlent, le courant de la Rivière Sainte-Anne imprime un rythme lent aux journées, rappelant le labeur des générations qui ont cultivé ces sols fertiles. La lumière du crépuscule décline avec une douceur particulière, dorant les hautes herbes et révélant la texture minérale du rivage. Si l’on s’éloigne vers les terres, le Lac à la Barbotte occupe une quiétude profonde à onze kilomètres, tandis que les Chutes de la Cheminée, situées à une distance de seize kilomètres, ponctuent le relief lointain d’un murmure persistant. L’activité humaine, discrète et patiente, semble obéir aux cycles immuables de cette géographie riveraine, façonnée par les sédiments et les vents. L’Île-à-Tessier demeure un monde en soi, une halte privilégiée où le regard se perd entre l’immensité maritime et la rigueur des horizons québécois. La vie y défile sans hâte, portée par la mémoire des eaux qui descendent vers l’est, offrant aux habitants une existence liée à la majesté du Saint-Laurent, loin du tumulte des grands centres, dans une solitude choisie et contemplative.
