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 Pierre-à-Chaux.
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 Pierre-à-Chaux is a locality in Nouvelle; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Pierre-à-Chaux is located at 48.1553°N, 66.3017°W.
La Pierre-à-Chaux rests deep within the sheltered folds of La Butte, where the land leans toward the cooling currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 11.3 km north-north-east of Baie-des-Hérons, QC (from Baie-des-Hérons, QC: bearing 29°T), and is situated 13.6 km north-north-east of Dalhousie. The Rivière Nouvelle carves a path through the valley floor, its waters carrying a clarity that mirrors the pale, expansive sky above the ridges. Nearby, the presence of Lac à Saint-Pierre adds a stillness to the terrain, while the distant, rushing energy of Chutes de Brébeuf serves as a reminder of the restless movement inherent to the local geology. As the sun dips behind the rising slopes, the air takes on a sharp, clean edge, illuminating the rugged textures of the earth in a way that makes the silence feel heavy and deliberate. Life in La Pierre-à-Chaux draws its character from the quiet endurance of those who have long worked this particular stretch of ground. The local economy persists in a modest alignment with the terrain, finding its purpose in the traditional patterns of the region that remain distinct from the hurried pace of larger centers. Visitors often find themselves drawn to the proximity of Parc national de Miguasha, which stands as a silent sentinel to the ancient, buried narratives of the earth found in these cliffs. In La Pierre-à-Chaux, the day begins with the damp, earthy scent of the woods and ends with the long, violet shadows that stretch across the fields, leaving the inhabitants to carry on with a steady, grounded persistence.
La Pierre-à-Chaux se dresse avec une austère noblesse sur les rives de la Rivière Nouvelle, là où le terrain s'incline doucement vers les eaux vastes du Saint-Laurent. Dans cette portion de la vallée, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une patine argentée sur les terres basses du La Butte, révélant une géographie façonnée par le labeur et la patience des premiers colons qui ont défriché ces sols fertiles. Non loin, le Lac à Saint-Pierre offre un miroir immobile aux arbres qui frissonnent sous la brise marine, tandis que l'écho lointain des Chutes de Brébeuf ponctue le silence minéral du paysage. À quelques lieues, la présence du Parc national de Miguasha rappelle la profondeur géologique de ce territoire où la terre semble retenir son souffle. La Pierre-à-Chaux conserve cette allure de sentinelle paisible, portée par les traditions agricoles qui rythment encore les gestes quotidiens et une relation intime avec la rudesse du climat. Ici, le ciel se confond avec la ligne d'horizon, offrant aux promeneurs une sérénité sauvage, exempte de tumulte, où chaque pierre et chaque courbe du rivage racontent une histoire silencieuse, transmise par la permanence des eaux qui ne cessent jamais leur course vers le large.
