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 Croix.
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 Croix is a locality in Roberval; Le Domaine-du-Roy, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Croix is located at 48.4625°N, 72.2261°W.
La Croix sits with a quiet, persistent grace upon the broad, open shore of Lac Saint-Jean, where the land yields to the vast reach of the water. It lies 6.2 km south of Roberval, QC (from Roberval, QC: bearing 183°T), and is situated 15.7 km south-south-east of Vertuose. The terrain surrounding La Croix is defined by the proximity of the Monts Jumeaux, their slopes offering a rugged backdrop to the low-lying basin. Nearby, the Rivière Ouananiche cuts a steady path through the earth, its current providing a constant, low-frequency pulse that defines the local atmosphere. During the transition of dusk, the light stretches thin across the surface of the lake, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that catches the cool, northern air. Life here moves in alignment with the elements, respecting the distance to Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, which lies thirty-three kilometers away as a wild, quiet anchor for the region. The history of La Croix remains anchored to the rhythms of the land and the pull of the surrounding wilderness that has long shaped the identity of Le Domaine-du-Roy. While industry often looks toward the natural resources of the basin, the daily life of La Croix is marked by the enduring presence of the forest and the persistent, cold vitality of the lake. People here maintain a direct relationship with their environment, balancing the demands of modern work with a tradition of stewardship that honors the deep, quiet heritage of the territory. Even as the seasons shift from the biting clarity of winter to the sudden, explosive green of spring, La Croix retains a sense of purpose, grounded in the simple necessity of living well within the reach of the Monts Jumeaux.
La Croix s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de plonger dans l'immensité bleue. À proximité, les Monts Jumeaux dessinent une ligne sombre et familière sur l'horizon, veillant sur le travail des hommes et le lent écoulement de la Rivière Ouananiche. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de l'humidité vive qui remonte des eaux et du souvenir des vents venus du nord. La vie à La Croix s'organise autour de cette géographie austère, héritée d'un labeur agricole qui a su apprivoiser le sol argileux et les rigueurs du climat boréal. Les habitants connaissent le poids de l'hiver et la lumière oblique du crépuscule qui fait briller les champs comme du métal poli. À une distance de trente-trois kilomètres, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon rappelle aux résidents la puissance brute d'une nature qui ne se laisse jamais totalement domestiquer. Chaque matin, le silence des environs est ponctué par le mouvement discret des embarcations et le murmure des courants, soulignant l'attachement profond de ceux qui habitent ces parages à la rudesse magnifique de leur environnement quotidien.
