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-Capimit.
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-Capimit is a locality in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Capimit is located at 47.8636°N, 74.2725°W.
Le Barrage-Capimit sits within the rugged expanse of La Tuque, defined by the persistent, cold pull of the Rivière Pichoui as it carves through the dense, northern woodland. It lies 34.9 km west of Manouane, QC (from Manouane, QC: bearing 265°T), and is situated 26.4 km east-south-east of Parent. The water gathers here with a heavy, deliberate clarity, often reflecting a bruised violet light when the sun slips behind the dense tree line at dusk. Just a kilometer away, the still surface of Lac Capimit mirrors the sky, providing a quiet counterpoint to the more active flow of the nearby river. The air carries a sharp, resinous scent of spruce, grounding the landscape in a stark, boreal solitude that feels indifferent to the passing of hours. Le Barrage-Capimit represents a utilitarian intersection of human intervention and the unyielding reach of the Canadian shield. The infrastructure here exists primarily to manage the flow of the Rivière Pichoui, a necessity dictated by the demands of regional resource management and the practicalities of northern industry. While the site functions as a point of technical focus, it retains a wild, austere character, where the silence is broken only by the low, constant vibration of water moving against stone. Life in this corner of Mauricie moves with a focused gravity, shaped by the singular presence of the water and the deep, enduring quiet of the surrounding forest.
Le Barrage-Capimit se dresse avec une austérité tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière Pichoui, là où la lumière décline en teintes de cuivre sur les eaux calmes. Dans cette étendue de la Mauricie, le paysage impose sa présence par le silence des bois et la rigueur de son tracé industriel, héritage d'une exploitation forestière qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours. À peine à un kilomètre de là, le Lac Capimit retient le ciel dans ses profondeurs, offrant un miroir immobile à la forêt dense qui l’enserre. Le Barrage-Capimit semble suspendu entre la force vive du courant et la patience minérale du terrain, témoignant d'une lutte discrète pour maintenir l'équilibre face aux éléments. L'air y possède une fraîcheur tranchante, chargée d'une odeur de terre humide et de bois ancien, tandis que la Rivière Pichoui poursuit sa course inlassable, façonnant les berges avec une lenteur méthodique. Ici, la vie ne cherche pas le tumulte, mais s’ajuste aux exigences d'un milieu où l'eau et le roc dominent les perspectives, invitant à une contemplation simple devant la permanence de ce cadre naturel qui, malgré les transformations humaines, conserve une part farouche de son mystère originel.

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.
