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-Boisvert.
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-Boisvert is a locality in Lac-Lapeyrère; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Boisvert is located at 47.1299°N, 72.4071°W.
Le Barrage-Boisvert anchors the rugged terrain of Lac-Lapeyrère, holding back the weight of the water against the backdrop of the Montagne de la Croix. It lies 44.6 km south-east of La Tuque, QC (from La Tuque, QC: bearing 141°T), and is situated 46.4 km north-north-east of Saint-Tite. The landscape here is defined by the immediate presence of Lac Boisvert, whose surface acts as a dark, polished mirror for the shifting clouds and the looming rise of the mountain. Air in this high, forested basin carries a crisp, mineral edge, sharpened by the proximity of the Rivière Serpentine, which draws a quiet, silver line through the surrounding wilderness some six kilometers distant. At dusk, the light pulls long shadows from the conifers, turning the water of the lake into a deep, bruised violet that settles heavily into the hollows of the earth. The construction of Le Barrage-Boisvert signifies a history of harnessing the wild hydraulic energy of Portneuf, a necessity that once dictated the survival and labor of those inhabiting these isolated reaches. Life in the vicinity of the structure maintains a focus on the essential, where the work of maintaining the site and navigating the dense woods occupies the days of those who remain. While the local economy has transitioned from the heavy demands of early industrial extraction to a quieter existence, the influence of the water remains constant, shaping the daily movements of the few who traverse the slopes near the Montagne de la Croix. Even as the seasons turn and the ice thickens across the stillness of Lac Boisvert, the site persists as a deliberate point of order amidst the sprawling, unyielding Canadian shield.
Le Barrage-Boisvert impose sa présence sobre sur les terres hautes de Portneuf, là où la lumière déclinante semble s’attarder davantage sur la surface immobile du Lac Boisvert. Dans cette étendue où le silence est une composante essentielle de l’atmosphère, les reliefs accidentés s’élèvent vers la Montagne de la Croix, dont la silhouette domine les environs avec une gravité silencieuse. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière Serpentine poursuit son cours discret, serpentant entre les boisés denses qui définissent la physionomie sauvage de ce secteur. L’activité humaine, ici, se plie à la rudesse du relief et à la rigueur d'un climat qui façonne les gestes quotidiens, imposant une patience héritée des anciennes occupations forestières. En approchant Le Barrage-Boisvert, le voyageur perçoit une harmonie singulière entre les ouvrages de retenue et la nature environnante, une cohabitation où l'eau et la pierre entretiennent un dialogue permanent. La fraîcheur de l'air, chargée d'une humidité boisée, souligne la solitude paisible de ces paysages québécois. Chaque soir, lorsque les ombres s'étirent depuis les versants, le lieu révèle une dignité austère, rappelant que la terre impose ses propres rythmes à ceux qui choisissent de l'habiter.
