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.
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 is a locality in Saint-Malo; Coaticook, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Pointe is located at 45.2025°N, 71.4492°W.
La Pointe rests along the rising slopes near the Colline Théroux, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the Eastern Townships. It lies 28.9 km east-north-east of Coaticook, QC (from Coaticook, QC: bearing 75°T), and is situated 4.0 km east of Saint-Malo. The terrain here catches the low, slanted light of late afternoon, turning the fields into broad stretches of amber that seem to hold the warmth of the sun long after it has dipped below the horizon. While the Rivière aux Saumons flows through the wider valley some 9 km away, the immediate surroundings of La Pointe remain defined by the steady, upward pull of the hills and the crisp clarity of the air that settles over the high ground. The silence of the higher elevations is broken only by the shifting of wind through the trees, creating a sense of isolation that feels both fragile and enduring. The history of La Pointe lingers in the sturdy architecture of the farmsteads and the slow, deliberate pace of those who work the soil. Agriculture has long dictated the flow of days here, with the local economy rooted in the productivity of the earth and the seasonal cycles that govern rural life. Though the expansive Parc national du Mont-Mégantic sits 35 km away, its presence is felt in the vast, unpolluted dark skies that draw the gaze upward at night. Residents often look toward the distant shimmer of Lac Lindsay, located 8 km away, as a marker of the changing seasons when the frost begins to harden the ground. Life in La Pointe follows the demands of the harvest and the maintenance of the land, preserving a character that values patience over speed.
La Pointe s'élève avec une discrétion altière sur les contreforts qui bordent la Colline Théroux, là où les terres de Saint-Malo épousent les ondulations du relief québécois. Dans ce secteur, l'air porte une fraîcheur singulière qui descend des hauteurs, rappelant la proximité du Parc national du Mont-Mégantic dont la silhouette bleutée dessine l'horizon lointain. La lumière du crépuscule s'étire sur les champs, révélant une topographie travaillée par les générations, tandis que la Rivière aux Saumons serpente à neuf kilomètres de là, irriguant une mémoire agricole encore vive dans les rangs. À huit kilomètres, le Lac Lindsay demeure un miroir immobile sous le ciel changeant, ajoutant une note de sérénité à l'économie rurale qui rythme le quotidien des résidents. La Pointe privilégie une existence tournée vers les cycles de la terre, où la robustesse des bâtiments de ferme et le silence des forêts environnantes dictent une cadence paisible. Ici, chaque sentier semble garder le souvenir d'une colonisation laborieuse, transformant le sol en une étendue généreuse. La rigueur du climat façonne le caractère des habitants, une ténacité qui se lit dans la précision des clôtures et la droiture des labours, faisant de ce paysage une réalité tangible, loin des artifices, où la nature impose sa loi souveraine.
