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 Durantaye.
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 Durantaye is a parish municipality in La Durantaye; Bellechasse, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. La Durantaye is located at 46.8357°N, 70.8554°W.
La Durantaye occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth meets the expansive presence of the St. Lawrence. It lies 21.2 km south-south-east of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC (from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC: bearing 161°T), and is situated 8.9 km west-north-west of Saint-Raphaël. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, characterized by the low, insistent pull of the tide and the presence of the Rocher Turgeon, which stands as a silent sentinel against the shifting water. Near the banks of the Rivière Boyer, the air carries a crisp, salted sharpness that clings to the fields as dusk settles over the shore. A short distance inland, the water of Lac aux Canards mirrors the changing sky, offering a sanctuary of light that anchors the horizon of La Durantaye to the surrounding fields. The history of La Durantaye remains rooted in the slow, deliberate work of those who first cleared the soil for harvest and trade. Agriculture persists as the steady pulse of the region, with local families maintaining the long-standing traditions of land stewardship that have defined the Bellechasse landscape for generations. Life in La Durantaye follows the seasons, moving between the intense labor of the growing months and the deep, hushed accumulation of winter snows. The character of the people reflects this grounded existence, marked by a sturdy independence and a quiet pride in the simple, enduring beauty of the riverside terrain.
La Durantaye s’étire avec une patience tranquille sur les terres hautes qui dominent les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa présence immense et changeante. Sous la lumière déclinante du soir, le relief s’adoucit, révélant la silhouette du Rocher Turgeon qui semble veiller sur le passage des eaux. À proximité, les méandres de la Rivière Boyer serpentent à travers les champs cultivés, façonnant un paysage agricole où le labeur des hommes se confond avec la rigueur du sol. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac aux Canards offre une halte silencieuse, un miroir sombre niché dans le creux du terrain, préservant la quiétude de ces espaces où le vent apporte encore le sel des marées. L’histoire de La Durantaye se lit dans la rectitude de ses rangs et la persistance de ses fermes, héritières d’une terre conquise sur la forêt par des générations opiniâtres. La vie y suit le rythme lent des récoltes et des marées, dans une atmosphère où chaque souffle d’air rappelle la proximité immédiate de l’estuaire. Ici, l’horizon n’est jamais une limite, mais une ouverture constante sur une nature brute, faite de terre grasse et de courants vigoureux, forgeant le caractère singulier de ceux qui habitent ces parages depuis des lustres.
