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 Butte-aux-Puces.
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 Butte-aux-Puces is a hamlet in Cap-Santé; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Butte-aux-Puces is located at 46.7169°N, 71.8514°W.
La Butte-aux-Puces rises from the earth as a modest, steady prominence within the Coteau à Jess, overlooking the persistent flow of the St. Lawrence. It lies 10.0 km west-north-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 300°T), and is situated 12.7 km west-south-west of Pont-Rouge. The land here holds the damp, cool scent of the Rivière Chaude, which carves its path through the terrain with a quiet, persistent energy. At dusk, the light clings to the slopes of La Butte-aux-Puces, turning the grasses a bruised, metallic violet before the shadows settle into the hollows. While Lac Rosa remains hidden eleven kilometres away and the distant roar of Chutes à Gorry echoes some fifteen kilometres beyond, the immediate landscape feels complete in its own solitude, defined by the heavy, humid breath of the river valley. The history of this site is marked by the slow, deliberate work of those who first cleared the timber to make way for the fields of Cap-Santé. Agriculture defines the local economy, with the soil yielding crops that mirror the changing temperament of the seasons. Life moves in alignment with the agricultural cycle, where the turn of the plow and the harvest dictate the pulse of the day. In the quiet hours, the atmosphere carries a certain gravity, as if the land remembers the generations that labored here to secure a foothold. Visitors passing through find a stillness that is rarely interrupted, a reminder that the character of the region is found in the persistence of the work and the endurance of the land itself.
La Butte-aux-Puces s’élève avec une discrétion minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Coteau à Jess incline ses pentes douces vers les eaux froides du fleuve. L’air y possède une texture particulière, chargée d’une humidité qui semble stagner au-dessus de la Rivière Chaude, dont le cours sinueux sculpte le relief environnant avec une lenteur obstinée. À onze kilomètres de là, le Lac Rosa repose dans un silence immuable, tandis que les Chutes à Gorry imposent, à quinze kilomètres de distance, un grondement sourd qui parvient parfois jusqu’aux oreilles des résidents par les nuits de grand calme. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les champs, révélant une terre façonnée par des générations de labeur agricole, où le travail des mains a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours. Dans le silence des matinées, La Butte-aux-Puces semble suspendue dans une attente paisible, entre la rigueur de son climat et la présence massive du grand fleuve qui borne l’horizon. Les habitations se serrent contre les ondulations du terrain, profitant d’une topographie qui protège les foyers des vents dominants, offrant une stabilité héritée de l’histoire ancienne de Portneuf. Chaque sentier qui serpente vers les rives témoigne d’une relation intime avec la géographie, invitant à une contemplation simple des éléments qui définissent l'identité singulière de ce territoire.
