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 Vallée-d'Amont.
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 Vallée-d'Amont is a administrative sector in L'Anse-Saint-Jean; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Vallée-d'Amont is located at 48.1733°N, 70.3639°W.
La Vallée-d'Amont rests in a quiet fold of the land, defined by the persistent flow of the Rivière Saint-Jean as it carves through the terrain near the Côte à François. It lies 27.5 km west of Secteur Arcand, QC (from Secteur Arcand, QC: bearing 275°T), and is situated 13.5 km west-south-west of L'Anse-Saint-Jean. The air here carries a crisp, mineral clarity, particularly as the evening light catches the rising mist off the Rivière Saint-Jean. A short distance away, the quiet stillness of Lac Étienne offers a counterpoint to the movement of the river, while the grander reach of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay looms fourteen kilometers to the north. Within La Vallée-d'Amont, the landscape balances between these sheltered hollows and the rugged, forested slopes that characterize the region. Settlement in this corner of Quebec reflects a long history of working the land and the river, where the inhabitants have maintained a steady focus on forestry and regional stewardship. The economy has historically turned on the natural resources found along the Rivière Saint-Jean, drawing strength from the timber and the seasonal cycles that dictate the pace of life. Even today, the character of La Vallée-d'Amont stays rooted in these traditional pursuits, maintaining a firm connection to the surrounding woods and waters. The deep, resonant silence that settles over the valley during the colder months reveals a place that values its solitude and the resilience of those who call these slopes home.
La Vallée-d'Amont s’étire avec une langueur minérale le long des méandres de la Rivière Saint-Jean, là où la lumière décline avec une précision froide sur les reliefs de Côte à François. Ce territoire, façonné par les rigueurs du climat boréal, conserve une âme austère que seule la course lente des eaux vient troubler. À seulement deux kilomètres, le Lac Étienne offre une quiétude immobile, miroir sombre où se découpent les silhouettes des conifères sous un ciel changeant. La proximité du Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, situé à une distance de quatorze kilomètres, impose une présence monumentale, rappelant sans cesse la puissance géologique qui enserre ces terres basses. L’existence dans La Vallée-d'Amont suit le rythme des cycles de la terre, où les habitants, héritiers de labeurs anciens, composent avec la rudesse du sol et la persistance des vents. Ici, le quotidien se dépouille des artifices pour ne laisser subsister que l’essentiel, une harmonie silencieuse entre les parois rocheuses et la fluidité des courants. Les soirées y sont longues, marquées par une pénombre bleutée qui enveloppe le paysage, isolant chaque maison dans une solitude sereine, tandis que le bruissement de la Rivière Saint-Jean devient le métronome immuable de ce domaine sauvage.

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.
Location data for La Vallée-d'Amont is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
