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 Le Barrage-Blanc.
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.

Le Barrage-Blanc is a locality in Petit-Lac-Sainte-Anne; Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Blanc is located at 47.1906°N, 69.7319°W.
Le Barrage-Blanc sits firmly against the rising shadows of the Montagne de l'Ours, where the land holds a stillness born of long winters and heavy timber. It lies 25.8 km north of Saint-Pamphile, QC (from Saint-Pamphile, QC: bearing 8°T), and is situated 30.2 km south-east of La Pocatière. The Rivière Jaune cuts a precise, dark line through the terrain, its current pulling steadily against the stone and earth that define the local geography. Here, the proximity of Lac Blanc creates a singular horizon, where the water surface reflects the bruised purple of dusk before the stars sharpen against the cold air. The light at this latitude possesses a brittle clarity, catching the frost on the reeds and turning the damp banks into silver before the sun slips behind the ridge. The history of Le Barrage-Blanc persists in the quiet industry of those who manage the flow of the Rivière Jaune, balancing the needs of the land with the demands of the water. Life in this corner of Kamouraska moves with the deliberate weight of seasonal labor, where the economy relies on the persistent maintenance of the dam and the slow, methodical work of forestry. Men and women here understand the temperament of the Montagne de l'Ours, watching the mountain for shifts in the wind that signal the arrival of snow. It is a life measured not by clocks, but by the pressure of the river against the spillway and the way the evening chill settles into the wood-framed houses, anchoring the people to the steady, uncompromising pulse of the landscape.
Le Barrage-Blanc s’éveille dans une clarté diaphane, là où le relief s’incline doucement vers la Rivière Jaune. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Blanc étend ses eaux immobiles sous le regard de la Montagne de l’Ours, dont la silhouette massive semble protéger les terres basses des souffles venus du nord. Les habitations, dispersées avec une sobriété paysanne, se tournent vers ce cours d’eau qui a façonné l’histoire laborieuse des lieux, marquant chaque parcelle de la rigueur propre aux terres de Kamouraska. L’air, chargé d’une humidité fine en fin de journée, confère aux champs une nuance argentée, tandis que la lumière déclinante souligne la rudesse du sol et la patience des hommes qui cultivent ici ce que la nature concède. Le Barrage-Blanc entretient avec son environnement une intimité silencieuse, faite de gestes lents et d’une persévérance héritée des premiers défrichements. Les ombres s’allongent sur les rives, enveloppant le paysage d’une mélancolie sereine où le murmure de la Rivière Jaune devient le seul écho aux activités quotidiennes. Dans cette solitude paisible, la présence de la Montagne de l’Ours impose une verticalité protectrice, rappelant que la vie s’ordonne ici selon un rythme ancien, loin des agitations du monde moderne, dans une harmonie austère et pourtant profondément apaisante.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
