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-à-la-Croix.
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-à-la-Croix is a resort area in Saint-Félix-d'Otis; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-à-la-Croix is located at 48.3033°N, 70.5628°W.
The rugged terrain surrounding Lac-à-la-Croix defines the horizon with a quiet, persistent strength as the land rises toward the Côte à François. It lies 39.4 km east-south-east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 110°T), and is situated 9.6 km south of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord. The air here holds a crisp, mineral edge, often catching the fading light of dusk to cast long, violet shadows across the uneven earth. While the Rivière Éternité courses through the nearby wildlands, the immediate presence of Lac à la Croix acts as a steadying anchor, its surface mirroring the shifting greys and blues of the Quebec sky. Beyond these immediate waters, the grandeur of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay looms in the distance, reminding those who linger near the shore of the sheer scale of the surrounding wilderness. Life in Lac-à-la-Croix follows the deliberate pace of those who work the land and respect the seasonal turn of the frost. Long before the modern era, the inhabitants learned to read the climate of this region, building a quiet existence that relies on the endurance of the local woods and the resilience of the soil. While Chutes à Bianca draws the gaze of visitors with its powerful descent, the daily focus of Lac-à-la-Croix remains fixed on the harvest and the maintenance of a heritage that values consistency over spectacle. The people here carry themselves with the gravity of the landscape, finding a deep, unspoken satisfaction in the routine chores that keep a home standing against the persistent northern wind.
Lac-à-la-Croix s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s'égare sur une étendue d'eau calme, proche de la Côte à François. Le terrain accuse une inclinaison douce vers le fleuve, tandis que la lumière déclinante du soir nimbe les escarpements environnants d'une teinte cuivrée. À huit kilomètres de là, la Rivière Éternité poursuit son cours discret, murmurant entre les roches, tandis que le Lac à la Croix demeure tout près, miroir immobile où se reflète le ciel changeant. Plus loin, vers les terres, les Chutes à Bianca déploient leur fracas léger dans un silence forestier, rappelant la proximité du Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay, dont les crêtes lointaines dessinent une frontière naturelle contre l'horizon. La vie à Lac-à-la-Croix suit le rythme lent des marées et des vents qui balaient la côte, une existence tournée vers la rudesse bienveillante de cet environnement sauvage. Les habitants, héritiers d'une terre marquée par les travaux agricoles et les forêts denses, entretiennent un lien profond avec ce sol qui exige patience et labeur. Chaque pierre, chaque sentier bordant le rivage raconte une histoire de persévérance humaine face à l'immensité du paysage boréal, offrant une paix austère que seule la présence constante du Saint-Laurent vient troubler.
