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 Passe-de-Roche.
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 Passe-de-Roche is a administrative sector in L'Anse-Saint-Jean; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Passe-de-Roche is located at 48.0833°N, 70.3500°W.
La Passe-de-Roche rests within the rugged folds of the landscape, where the land rises sharply toward the Côte à François. It lies 25.8 km west of Secteur David, QC (from Secteur David, QC: bearing 273°T), and is situated 11.9 km north-west of Le Lac-Emmuraillé. The water of the Rivière du Portage carves a persistent path through the terrain, its movement defining the quiet character of the site. Nearby, the stillness of Lac de la Passe mirrors the sky, anchoring the immediate surroundings in a profound, reflective calm. At certain hours, the light catches the mineral surfaces of the stones along the riverbanks, turning the wet slate into polished mirrors that hold the fading warmth of the day. Even at a distance of twenty-one kilometers, the presence of Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie suggests the vast, untamed scale of the surrounding geological features. Life in L'Anse-Saint-Jean and the broader Le Fjord-du-Saguenay region has long been shaped by the interplay between the dense forest and the movement of the waterways. The local economy and cultural identity of La Passe-de-Roche draw from an enduring reliance on the natural resources found within this specific corridor of the province. Generations have navigated the challenges of the terrain, maintaining a focus on the seasonal shifts that dictate the flow of activity. The air here carries a crisp, lingering chill, a reminder of the deep winters that define the rhythm of the year and require a steady, deliberate approach to daily existence.
La Passe-de-Roche se déploie dans une rigueur minérale où la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde longuement sur les reliefs escarpés, révélant la texture brute de la pierre et la densité silencieuse des bois. Près de Côte à François, le terrain s’incline vers les rives de la Rivière du Portage, dont le courant semble porter en lui une mémoire ancienne, lente et inaltérable. À proximité immédiate, le Lac de la Passe offre une étendue d’eau sombre qui capte les reflets changeants du ciel, accentuant la solitude majestueuse du paysage. Si le Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie impose son envergure à une vingtaine de kilomètres, La Passe-de-Roche conserve une atmosphère singulière, faite d’une patience que seules les terres façonnées par le froid et le vent peuvent engendrer. Ici, l’existence suit les inflexions de la topographie, chaque colline et chaque repli de terrain dictant le rythme des jours. La présence de la Rivière du Portage façonne l’identité du secteur, imposant une discipline naturelle aux activités humaines qui s’y déploient. Dans ce cadre austère, le regard se perd volontiers sur les lignes de crête, tandis que l’air, chargé d’une humidité vive, enveloppe La Passe-de-Roche dans une sérénité presque palpable, comme si le temps lui-même s’accordait une pause devant tant de minéralité silencieuse.

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.
