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 La Barrière-du-Maurice.
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.

La Barrière-du-Maurice is a locality in Lac-Jacques-Cartier; La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Barrière-du-Maurice is located at 47.2959°N, 71.0634°W.
La Barrière-du-Maurice rests amidst the rugged, unyielding terrain of the Canadian Shield, defined by the persistent flow of the Rivière des Neiges. It lies 32.3 km north-north-west of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC (from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC: bearing 344°T), and is situated 30.9 km north-north-west of Beaupré. The air here carries a sharp, crystalline clarity, cooling as it moves across the dark surface of Lac à Carmichael, which sits in immediate proximity to the site. The landscape is defined by the presence of Le Deltaplane, a feature that anchors the local geography against the backdrop of the wilder, more expansive Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier located twenty-two kilometers away. At the edges of the day, the light catches the moving water of the river, turning the surface into a shifting mirror that holds the shadows of the surrounding coniferous canopy. La Barrière-du-Maurice maintains a quiet isolation, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, operating instead within the rhythms of the northern woods. Life here is dictated by the seasons, where the transition from the deep, insulating snows of winter to the sudden, vibrant thaw of spring governs the movement of those who traverse these paths. While the silence of the forest dominates the atmosphere, the presence of the Rivière des Neiges provides a constant, low-frequency hum that seems to underscore the stillness of the terrain. The character of the land remains largely untouched, preserving a sense of endurance that persists long after the sun dips below the horizon, leaving the landscape to the stars and the cold, thin air of the high altitude.
La Barrière-du-Maurice s'étire avec une humilité silencieuse près du Deltaplane, là où le souffle du vent semble suspendre la marche des heures sur les rives de la Rivière des Neiges. Dans cette contrée où le relief sculpte des ombres allongées, le Lac à Carmichael se confond presque avec l'horizon immédiat, offrant une surface lisse qui recueille la lumière déclinante du soir. Les bois environnants, imprégnés d'une fraîcheur résineuse, s'étendent avec une patience minérale, rappelant la proximité du Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier qui domine le lointain de sa masse imposante. À La Barrière-du-Maurice, le silence n'est pas une absence mais une présence palpable, une étoffe de brume qui s'accroche aux arbrisseaux et aux berges escarpées. L'air, pur et tranchant, porte en lui la mémoire des eaux vives et des roches froides qui forment le socle de ce paysage austère. Les journées s'y écoulent sans tumulte, rythmées par le murmure constant de la Rivière des Neiges qui charrie les secrets des hautes terres vers des vallées plus secrètes. Dans cette solitude géologique, chaque forme de terrain, chaque repli de terre raconte une persévérance silencieuse face aux éléments, imposant aux rares passants une contemplation nécessaire devant l'immensité brute et intacte du territoire.

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.
