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 Shed.
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 Shed is a locality in Portneuf-sur-Mer; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Shed is located at 48.6717°N, 69.2522°W.
La Shed rests where the land concedes to the St. Lawrence, a quiet point of transition carved by the persistent movement of the Rivière Portneuf. It lies 14.9 km west-south-west of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 240°T), and is situated 12.4 km west-north-west of Rivière-Portneuf. The air here tastes of salt and cold cedar, sharpened by the proximity of the estuary where the light at dusk flattens into a bruised, metallic violet. Inland, the terrain holds the stillness of the boreal edge, with Lac au Foin tucked into the surrounding brush some 4 km away, reflecting the grey-bellied clouds. Further out, the descent of Chutes Philias marks the landscape 6 km from the shore, the sound of the falling water a low, constant thrumming beneath the wind. The history of La Shed aligns with the maritime currents and the lean, hard-won economy of the Haute-Côte-Nord, where the rhythm of life follows the seasonal thaw and the movement of the tides. Local industry persists in the extraction and transport of resources, a pragmatic endeavor that leaves the shoreline functional and unadorned. People here move with a deliberate economy of motion, shaped by the harsh winters and the isolation that defines the coast. Traditions endure in the quiet rituals of the household and the shared knowledge of the water, a heritage passed down through generations who have watched the St. Lawrence shift its ice against the docks. Even as the modern world encroaches, La Shed retains a stubborn, solitary character, anchored by the cold, deep currents that define its boundaries.
La Shed s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’eau salée rencontre la vigueur de la Rivière Portneuf. Les habitations y semblent attendre le retour des marées, observant le mouvement perpétuel d’un courant qui sculpte les berges depuis des âges lointains. À quatre kilomètres de là, le Lac au Foin repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que, plus loin, le grondement sourd des Chutes Philias ponctue le relief accidenté de la Haute-Côte-Nord. L’air, chargé d’une humidité vive et d’effluves marins, façonne le quotidien des habitants qui ont appris à vivre avec la rudesse et la clarté du climat boréal. L’histoire de La Shed se lit dans la simplicité des structures tournées vers l’horizon, héritières d’une ère où le bois et les eaux dictaient le rythme des existences. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité singulière, étirant les ombres sur les rochers polis et transformant le paysage en une étendue d’argent liquide. Chaque habitant connaît le poids du vent, ce compagnon invisible qui balaye les terres, rappelant à tous que la nature impose ici ses propres lois, loin du tumulte, dans une solitude qui se fait parfois caresse sous le ciel immense.

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.
