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 Pointe-Fortin.
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 Pointe-Fortin is a locality in Henryville; Le Haut-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Pointe-Fortin is located at 45.1356°N, 73.1761°W.
La Pointe-Fortin emerges from the flat, open expanse of Henryville as a modest prominence where the horizon holds few secrets. It lies 19.9 km south-south-east of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC (from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC: bearing 162°T), and is situated 14.9 km west of Bedford. The earth here is heavy and dark, a persistent reminder of the agricultural labor that shaped the character of the soil near the Colline Fox. When the late afternoon sun hangs low, the light pulls long, amber shadows across the fields, lending the landscape a temporary, fragile grace. The Rivière du Sud moves with a quiet, deliberate caution some six kilometers away, while the presence of Lac Champlain, resting ten kilometers to the distance, exerts a subtle influence on the shifting humidity of the air. The history of La Pointe-Fortin remains deeply tied to the rhythms of the land, where generations have cultivated the fields of Le Haut-Richelieu with a steady, quiet persistence. Local life finds its momentum in the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest, a tradition that anchors the daily economy to the productivity of the surrounding acreage. There is a particular sharpness to the morning chill here, a crispness that clarifies the view toward the Colline Fox and reminds those who work the earth of the enduring demands of this geography. Despite the encroaching pace of the wider world, La Pointe-Fortin retains a stillness that defines its character, grounded in a lineage of labor that honors the quiet dignity of the work itself.
La Pointe-Fortin s’étire avec une noblesse tranquille dans le Haut-Richelieu, là où les terres basses de Henryville révèlent une intimité singulière entre le ciel et le sol. À l’approche du crépuscule, la lumière décline sur les vastes étendues agricoles, conférant aux labourages une teinte d’ocre profond tandis que la silhouette de la Colline Fox se dessine avec une netteté presque austère contre l’horizon. L’air y possède cette densité particulière des plaines, chargée de l’humidité lointaine que porte la Rivière du Sud, laquelle serpente à six kilomètres de là, irriguant les mémoires autant que les champs. Non loin, l’immensité du Lac Champlain semble dicter le rythme de la brise qui caresse les rangs, tempérant les chaleurs estivales par son souffle frais. Les habitations de La Pointe-Fortin, marquées par une architecture héritée d’une longue tradition de labeur et de patience, s’insèrent dans ce cadre avec une discrétion qui impose le respect. Entre les rigoles des terres noires et les ombres portées par le relief voisin, le quotidien des résidents se déploie dans une forme de permanence, une existence rythmée par la maturation des récoltes et le glissement lent des heures, loin de l’agitation des grandes cités, dans cette plénitude que seul un territoire façonné par l’eau et la terre peut offrir.
