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 Chaufferie.
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 Chaufferie is a locality in Saint-Henri-de-Taillon; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Chaufferie is located at 48.6522°N, 71.8142°W.
La Chaufferie rests quietly along the shore of Lac Saint-Jean, defined by the steady, dark pull of the water and the low horizon of the Côte du Côtoyage. It lies 16.4 km north-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 314°T), and is situated 8.8 km west-north-west of Saint-Cœur-de-Marie. The Rivière Taillon flows near these banks, carrying a cold clarity that mirrors the expansive sky, while the wind often brings a crisp, metallic scent from the vast basin of the lake. At dusk, the light stretches thin and amber across the shoreline, turning the ripples of the water into shifting plates of hammered bronze. The land here holds the quiet weight of a northern landscape, where the seasonal cycles dictate the pace of life and the stillness of the air feels heavy with the coming winter. Life in La Chaufferie maintains a steady connection to the surrounding terrain, drawing its character from the proximity of the Rivière Taillon and the enduring presence of Lac Saint-Jean. While the nearby Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon serves as a reminder of the wilder, protected reaches of this region, the immediate surroundings of La Chaufferie reflect a history of resourcefulness and adaptation to the northern climate. The economy here remains rooted in the land, reflecting a heritage of forestry and modest agricultural enterprise that has long supported families in Saint-Henri-de-Taillon. Even as the seasons turn, the residents navigate their days with a practical grace, finding familiarity in the rhythmic movement of the lake and the sheltered strength of the Côte du Côtoyage.
La Chaufferie se déploie sur les rives du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la terre s'incline doucement vers les eaux vastes et froides, non loin de la Côte du Côtoyage. Le vent y transporte une odeur de bois humide et de sable fin, rappelant la proximité de la Rivière Taillon qui serpente avec une régularité apaisante à travers le terrain plat. À environ douze kilomètres, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon impose sa présence sauvage, modifiant la clarté du ciel par ses étendues boisées. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur le rivage, révélant une texture de sol tourbeux et de pierres polies par les courants, typique de cette région où l'industrie a laissé place à une vie plus calme, rythmée par le mouvement des marées intérieures et la rigueur du climat boréal. Dans La Chaufferie, chaque maison semble attendre le retour des pêcheurs ou le silence hivernal qui fige les berges, offrant une solitude habitée par le souvenir des anciennes activités forestières. L'air y possède une densité particulière, une fraîcheur qui s'attarde sur les visages, tandis que le regard porte loin vers l'horizon sans jamais rencontrer d'obstacle, sinon la ligne sombre des arbres qui bordent les eaux du grand lac.
