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 Tombe-du-Soldat.
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 Tombe-du-Soldat is a locality in Saint-André-de-Kamouraska; Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Tombe-du-Soldat is located at 47.8715°N, 69.6850°W.
La Tombe-du-Soldat emerges from the rugged terrain of Saint-André-de-Kamouraska as a silent sentinel overlooking the vast, shifting waters of the St. Lawrence. It lies 11.8 km west-north-west of Rivière-du-Loup, QC (from Rivière-du-Loup, QC: bearing 290°T), and is situated 15.4 km east-north-east of Saint-Siméon. The landscape here is defined by the imposing presence of the Mont Pilote, which rises sharply to cast long, cool shadows over the earth as the sun begins its descent. In the quiet hours of the late afternoon, the light takes on a pale, metallic quality that reflects off the river, rendering the surrounding fields in hues of deep ochre and slate. While the Rivière du Loup flows with a persistent, steady force some 10 km distant, the air near La Tombe-du-Soldat maintains a crisp, bracing clarity that seems to sharpen the outline of every stone and cedar branch. Life in this corner of Kamouraska is shaped by the enduring relationship between the rugged soil and the people who tend it, reflecting a history deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of the region. Though the Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup pull travelers toward their cascading power 12 km away, the immediate surroundings of La Tombe-du-Soldat offer a more meditative solitude, occasionally punctuated by the distant, haunting calls of birds near the dark waters of Lac de la Peste, located 12 km to the interior. The local economy persists through a careful stewardship of the land, where the seasonal cycles dictate the pace of work and rest. There is a singular dignity in the way the morning mist clings to the slopes of the Mont Pilote, reminding those who dwell here that the land exists on its own terms, indifferent to the hurried passage of the modern world.
La Tombe-du-Soldat surplombe les eaux froides et salines du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief s’élève brusquement vers les roches sombres du Mont Pilote. Dans cette terre de Kamouraska, le vent marin façonne les genévriers et les épinettes, apportant une odeur d’iode qui pénètre les vieux hangars agricoles et les granges aux toits d’acier. À une dizaine de kilomètres, le courant de la Rivière du Loup poursuit sa course vers l’estuaire, tandis que le Lac de la Peste dissimule ses berges silencieuses dans les replis du plateau, non loin de la puissance sourde des Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup. La lumière du crépuscule s’étire sur le littoral, transformant le granite en une matière presque liquide sous un ciel immense. La Tombe-du-Soldat conserve une solitude fière, marquée par les traces d’une agriculture tenace qui lutte contre le gel et les sols pierreux. Les habitants, héritiers d’une patience transmise par les générations passées, observent la marée monter et descendre avec une régularité minérale, indifférents à l’agitation du monde moderne. Ici, la géographie dicte le rythme des journées, imposant une présence constante du fleuve et de la roche qui domine toute existence, offrant aux rares passants une vision dépouillée, austère et saisissante de la rudesse québécoise.
