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 Lacroix.
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.

Lacroix is a hamlet in Saint-Georges; Beauce-Sartigan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lacroix is located at 46.1356°N, 70.6894°W.
Lacroix occupies a modest rise in the landscape near the Pic Rond, where the air holds the crisp, persistent dampness of the Rivière Famine. It lies 2.0 km north-west of Saint-Georges, QC (from Saint-Georges, QC: bearing 315°T), and is situated 11.0 km south-east of Beauceville. The land here tilts toward the water, marked by the steady, low-frequency rush of the current that defines the character of the terrain. Just three kilometers away, the natural turbulence of Les Sept Chutes adds a restless energy to the surroundings, while the presence of Lac Douville, six kilometers distant, offers a quiet stillness that contrasts with the movement of the river. During the transition of seasons, the light at dusk settles against the slopes of the Pic Rond with a heavy, bruised violet hue, grounding Lacroix in a geography that feels both immediate and ancient. The history of Lacroix remains tied to the cycles of the Rivière Famine, which once served as a vital artery for the local timber and milling industries that anchored the regional economy. Families in Beauce-Sartigan have long organized their labor around the seasonal shifts of this water, moving from the demands of the harvest to the maintenance of the mills. Today, the pace of life in Lacroix reflects a deliberate continuity, where the sound of the river remains a constant companion to those working the fields or moving between the nearby clusters of homes. Throughout the year, the community maintains a focus on the practicalities of the land, finding a distinct sense of order in the way the local economy aligns with the flow of the river and the reach of the surrounding hills.
Lacroix déploie ses habitations sur les terres fertiles de Beauce-Sartigan, là où la lumière décline avec une douceur particulière sur les ondulations du relief. À proximité de Pic Rond, le regard suit la ligne des bois qui surplombent la Rivière Famine, ce cours d'eau dont le murmure accompagne le labeur des gens d'ici depuis les premiers défrichements. Le paysage, marqué par une agriculture tenace, s'étire dans une atmosphère où l'air semble porter le poids des récoltes et des hivers rigoureux. À quelques kilomètres, la puissance des Sept Chutes rappelle la force des éléments naturels qui façonnent la topographie environnante, tandis que le Lac Douville, plus distant, ajoute une note de sérénité au panorama. Lacroix maintient une identité façonnée par cette géographie exigeante, privilégiant une vie tournée vers la terre et les boisés environnants. Les traditions s'y transmettent sans artifice, portées par une résilience discrète qui définit les rapports entre les voisins. Les journées s'écoulent dans le respect du rythme imposé par le climat continental, offrant aux résidents une existence simple, rythmée par les changements de teinte sur les pentes qui entourent ces terres. La présence de la Rivière Famine demeure le fil conducteur d'une histoire locale où le travail quotidien rencontre la persistance du roc et des forêts.
