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 Lac-Pinault.
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.

Lac-Pinault is a locality in Saint-Tharcisius; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Pinault is located at 48.5342°N, 67.3147°W.
Lac-Pinault rests as a quiet basin of water cradled by the steady rise of the Colline de la Tortue, where the northern woods meet the sky in a muted display of evergreen and stone. It lies 11.8 km north-east of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 48°T), and is situated 12.8 km north of Lac-au-Saumon. The air here carries a crisp, lingering dampness that settles over the surface of Lac-Pinault as the sun dips behind the ridge, casting long, bruised shadows across the shoreline. Nearby, the Rivière Causapscal maintains its steady, hidden course through the valley, drawing the eye toward the deeper, wilder reaches of the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia. Within this landscape, the land feels held in a state of suspended stillness, defined by the weight of the hills and the slow, deliberate movement of the clouds above the water. Life surrounding Lac-Pinault reflects the enduring character of Saint-Tharcisius, a settlement shaped by the labor of the woods and the demands of an unforgiving climate. The local economy persists through the careful harvest of timber and the maintenance of agricultural plots that cling to the lower slopes, honoring a tradition of self-reliance that has persisted for generations. Residents navigate the changing seasons with a practical resolve, finding value in the isolation that comes from proximity to the vast, protected expanses of the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia. As the light fades, the collective focus of the people shifts toward the hearth, mirroring the quiet persistence of the wilderness that defines the identity of Lac-Pinault.
Lac-Pinault s’étire dans la clarté austère des terres hautes, là où le ciel bas semble vouloir toucher la cime des arbres pour mieux épouser le relief accidenté. À proximité de la Colline de la Tortue, le sol garde en mémoire la lenteur des cycles agricoles et le labeur des bâtisseurs qui ont défriché ces pentes ingrates pour y bâtir un foyer solide. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les roches et les écorces, révélant une solitude minérale que seule la présence proche du Lac Pinault vient adoucir par le miroitement de ses eaux tranquilles. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière Causapscal poursuit sa course vive, murmurant des secrets anciens dans le creux des vallées, tandis que l’horizon s’ouvre vers la Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia, vaste étendue sauvage qui impose son rythme immuable aux jours qui passent. Lac-Pinault demeure cet espace de silence et de terre ferme, une présence discrète mais essentielle, où chaque saison impose sa rigueur sous un ciel changeant. Les vents venus des sommets voisins balayent les champs et les bois, sculptant un paysage brut qui exige une patience infinie de ceux qui habitent ces lieux, loin du tumulte, dans une proximité constante avec la rudesse magnifique de la nature québécoise.
