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 Larouche.
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.

Larouche is a municipality in Larouche; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Larouche is located at 48.4497°N, 71.5357°W.
Larouche rests upon a landscape defined by the convergence of water and the quiet, persistent pulse of the earth. It lies 14.1 km south-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 142°T), and is situated 12.1 km east-north-east of Hébertville. The presence of the Rivière Bruyère cuts through the local terrain, drawing the eye toward the expansive, reflective surface of Lac Kénogami. When the sun dips low, the light catches the Côte du Côtoyage, turning the slopes into a bruised violet that lingers long after the day has surrendered to dusk. Residents move through Larouche with a familiarity born of long winters and the necessity of tending to the land, their daily errands punctuated by the cool, damp air rising off the water. The architecture of Larouche reflects a history anchored in the resourcefulness of its founders, who looked to the surrounding woods and the proximity of the water to establish a foothold in this part of Le Fjord-du-Saguenay. Agriculture and small-scale industry continue to define the local economy, maintaining a character that values industry over artifice. Even as the seasons shift, the community maintains a steady focus, finding beauty in the way the frost clings to the banks of the Rivière Bruyère or the simple, stark clarity of a winter morning on Lac Kénogami.
Larouche s’étire avec une langueur tranquille sur les rives du Lac Kénogami, là où le regard s'attarde sur les eaux sombres qui captent les dernières lueurs du crépuscule. La lumière, d'une limpidité presque liquide, baigne les terres agricoles et les habitations dispersées près de Côte du Côtoyage, révélant la texture d'un sol qui a longtemps nourri les espoirs de ceux venus défricher ces étendues. À proximité, le tracé discret de la Rivière Bruyère ponctue le relief, son cours sinueux accompagnant le rythme mesuré d'un quotidien tourné vers la terre et les horizons vastes du Fjord-du-Saguenay. L'histoire de Larouche demeure intimement liée à cette géographie de contrastes, où la rigueur du climat sculpte les habitudes et forge une identité résiliente, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. Entre les ondulations du terrain et le souffle frais montant du Lac Kénogami, chaque passage sur la Rivière Bruyère rappelle la persistance d'un mode de vie qui privilégie la proximité avec les éléments. Les habitants habitués aux caprices du ciel observent les changements de saison avec une vigilance silencieuse, trouvant dans cette sobriété paysagère une forme de constance qui définit l'esprit singulier de Larouche.
