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-du-Hameau.
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-du-Hameau is a resort area in Nicolet; Nicolet-Yamaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Pointe-du-Hameau is located at 46.2511°N, 72.6472°W.
La Pointe-du-Hameau emerges where the land yields to the expansive, shifting horizons of Lac Saint-Pierre. It lies 13.0 km south-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 218°T), and is situated 3.6 km north-west of Nicolet. The terrain holds the quiet memory of the Rivière Nicolet, which carries the silt of the interior toward the wider basin, shaping a shoreline defined by the soft, granular reach of the Coteau de Sable. Here, the air often carries a cool, damp weight from the water, and at dusk, the light flattens against the reeds, turning the surface of the lake into a sheet of polished grey slate that seems to hold the sky in place. The history of La Pointe-du-Hameau remains tied to the persistent pull of the water and the agricultural character of the Nicolet-Yamaska region. Life here follows the seasonal turning of the fields and the movement of the river, with an economy that has long looked toward the land for its primary sustenance. While modern industry hums in the distance, the local character retains a focus on the immediate, tangible tasks of maintaining the homestead and monitoring the high-water marks of the spring thaw. The persistence of these quiet, daily habits provides a sense of continuity that defines the locality, grounding its residents in the specific, unpretentious beauty of the shoreline.
La Pointe-du-Hameau s’avance avec une humilité tranquille dans les eaux calmes du Lac Saint-Pierre, là où le ciel bas du soir semble vouloir toucher le sol humide. Près de Coteau de Sable, la terre se fait basse et généreuse, offrant aux habitants une intimité que seule la proximité de la Rivière Nicolet sait offrir dans ce coin de Nicolet-Yamaska. La lumière déclinante glisse sur les berges, révélant la texture fine d’un sol façonné par les alluvions et le labeur des générations qui ont appris à lire les caprices du courant. Les maisons de La Pointe-du-Hameau se tournent vers l’horizon liquide, héritières d’une longue patience paysanne qui privilégie la solidité des fondations aux éclats superficiels. L’air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d’une fraîcheur qui monte des rives, rappelant que la vie ici obéit aux pulsations de la Rivière Nicolet plutôt qu’aux horloges urbaines. Dans ce paysage, le travail quotidien des hommes se confond avec le mouvement perpétuel des eaux, créant une existence qui ne cherche pas à dompter la nature, mais à s'y glisser avec une discrétion respectueuse, préservant ainsi la singularité de ce rivage où chaque crépuscule semble un nouveau commencement.
