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 Briqueterie.
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 Briqueterie is a residential area in La Prairie; Roussillon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Briqueterie is located at 45.3986°N, 73.4878°W.
La Briqueterie rests upon the low, patient plains of La Prairie, holding its position near the Le Coteau where the land yields to the heavy, moving presence of the St. Lawrence. It lies 13.3 km south-south-east of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 157°T), and is situated 13.6 km south-south-west of Longueuil. The earth here is dense and dark, a heavy soil that clings to the boots, while the Rivière Saint-Jacques curls through the terrain like a slow, deliberate pulse. In the hush of late afternoon, the light turns the color of pale honey, catching the edges of the reeds and casting long, thin shadows across the fields that seem to hold their breath against the coming night. Beyond the immediate view, the landscape opens toward the horizon, where the air feels sharpened by the proximity of the water, cool and constant against the skin. The name La Briqueterie recalls the old kilns and the industry of earth-burning that once defined the labor of those living in Roussillon. Men once drew the clay from these banks, transforming the raw mud of the Rivière Saint-Jacques into the ruddy, kiln-fired blocks that built the foundations of the region. Today, the pace of life remains steady and grounded, reflecting a history of deliberate work that persists in the quiet maintenance of homes and gardens. While Lac de l'Île Notre-Dame sits 12 km away and Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno lies 22 km to the east, the immediate focus remains on the local streets and the steady passage of the seasons. People move through their days with a pragmatic grace, keeping the traditions of a working landscape alive while the St. Lawrence continues its eternal, silent migration toward the sea.
La Briqueterie se déploie sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'argile des sols a longtemps dicté le labeur des hommes et le façonnement des bâtisses. Près du Coteau, le murmure de la Rivière Saint-Jacques accompagne la lumière changeante du crépuscule, cette clarté qui semble frotter les briques anciennes d'une patine cuivrée, presque précieuse. Ce paysage de Roussillon conserve une mémoire industrielle, une patience laborieuse qui s’est transmise à travers les générations venues cultiver ces terres fertiles. Si le regard porte au loin, l’esprit devine la présence du Lac de l'Île Notre-Dame ou la masse imposante du Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno, mais c’est ici, dans la proximité immédiate de l’eau et des champs, que La Briqueterie affirme sa singularité. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d'humidité et d'histoire, tandis que le rythme quotidien s'accorde au souffle du fleuve qui charrie les silences de la vallée. Les habitants habitent ce terrain avec une simplicité qui ignore les artifices, préférant la solidité des fondations aux changements trop vifs. En observant le glissement des courants, on saisit comment La Briqueterie demeure un espace de permanence, un repli modeste mais fier, où chaque saison laisse sa trace sur la terre ferme.

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.
