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-Rouge-Nord.
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-Rouge-Nord is a hamlet in Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez; Matawinie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Rouge-Nord is located at 46.1933°N, 73.7075°W.
Lac-Rouge-Nord rests in a quiet fold of the landscape near the Mont Saint-Jean, sheltered by the dense, resilient timber of the Matawinie region. It lies 27.8 km north-west of Joliette, QC (from Joliette, QC: bearing 313°T), and is situated 9.9 km south-south-east of Saint-Côme. The water here holds a stillness that mirrors the surrounding slopes, with Lac Patrick sitting so close to the shoreline that the two bodies of water seem to breathe in unison through the earth. As evening approaches, the light thins and stretches across the surface of Lac-Rouge-Nord, turning the dark water into a sheet of hammered copper that catches the fading warmth of the day. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of cedar and damp stone, a constant reminder of the rugged Canadian Shield that defines the horizon. Life in Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez moves with the steady, purposeful flow of the Rivière L'Assomption, which winds its way through the territory, sustaining the local character. While the distant roar of Chutes Mason marks the wilder reaches of the region, the immediate surroundings favor the quiet persistence of those who have made their homes along these banks. Generations have worked this land, finding a balance between the demands of the terrain and a life defined by the seasonal shifts of the forest. The economy remains rooted in the deep resources of the province, reflecting a tradition of stewardship where the people and the woods maintain a respectful, long-standing proximity.
Lac-Rouge-Nord s'étire dans une langueur sereine sous la garde attentive du Mont Saint-Jean, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant que le jour ne décline. La présence immédiate du Lac Patrick, dont les eaux se confondent presque avec celles qui bordent le secteur, impose une quiétude minérale à ce relief tourmenté par les glaciations anciennes. À proximité, le courant vigoureux de la Rivière L'Assomption sculpte le sol, serpentant entre les conifères et les collines dans un mouvement perpétuel qui dicte le rythme des journées. L'air y possède cette densité particulière des matins de Matawinie, chargée d'une humidité fraîche qui monte du lit des eaux, tandis que le souvenir des Chutes Mason, situées à une distance respectable, semble hanter le silence environnant par un grondement sourd. Dans cette contrée façonnée par une agriculture de subsistance devenue au fil des décennies une terre d'accueil pour ceux qui cherchent la solitude, Lac-Rouge-Nord conserve une noblesse brute. Les habitations se fondent dans les replis du terrain, observant le passage des nuages bas sur les sommets environnants. La lumière, lorsqu'elle frappe les rives, transforme le paysage en une étendue d'ocre et d'ombre, révélant la persistance d'une vie simple, indifférente aux agitations du monde, tournée uniquement vers la patience des éléments naturels.
