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-Charlopin.
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-Charlopin holds its quiet authority amidst the dense, enduring timber of the Canadian Shield. It lies 35.9 km south-east of La Tuque, QC (from La Tuque, QC: bearing 146°T), and is situated 39.7 km north of Sainte-Thècle. The water of Lac Charlopin sits held against the structure, a mirror for the steep shadows cast by the nearby Montagne de la Croix. As light fades, the surface of the lake takes on a heavy, metallic sheen, cooling the air until it tastes of pine needles and damp granite. While the Rivière Bessonne flows through the lowlands some distance away, the immediate surroundings of Le Barrage-Charlopin remain defined by this intimate proximity to the still, dark reservoir. The terrain here rises in rugged, unyielding folds, demanding a certain persistence from any life that finds purchase along its rocky ridges. Industry in these reaches has long turned on the seasonal cycles of the forest and the management of water, tasks that dictate the quiet focus of the local economy. The legacy of resource stewardship lingers in the maintenance of the infrastructure, which serves as a functional anchor for the rugged landscape. Daily life follows the shifting temperament of the seasons, where the arrival of winter brings a profound, hushed stillness that settles over the slopes of the Montagne de la Croix. Through the changing months, the presence of Le Barrage-Charlopin persists as a point of order, its purpose clear and utilitarian against the backdrop of an ancient, brooding wilderness.
Le Barrage-Charlopin s'étire dans une solitude minérale, là où la terre de Portneuf semble retenir son souffle sous le poids d'un ciel immense. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Charlopin étend ses eaux calmes, miroir sombre et immobile qui capte les dernières lueurs du jour, tandis que la silhouette de la Montagne de la Croix se découpe avec netteté contre l'horizon, imposant une présence silencieuse sur ce relief accidenté. L'air, chargé de cette fraîcheur forestière propre aux zones sauvages, circule librement autour des structures érigées par l'homme, dont la robustesse rappelle l'effort nécessaire pour dompter une nature austère. Non loin, la Rivière Bessonne poursuit sa course discrète, murmurant à travers le couvert végétal, un mouvement perpétuel qui contraste avec la fixité du barrage. Le Barrage-Charlopin demeure une sentinelle de granit et d'acier, observant le passage des heures où la lumière décline sur les roches. Ici, le travail et la rudesse du climat ont sculpté un quotidien sobre, régi par le rythme des éléments qui ne demandent aucune explication. Chaque saison dépose sur ces rives une patine particulière, rendant le paysage plus dense, plus serré contre les flancs de la montagne, offrant à ceux qui s'y attardent une sensation de plénitude brute, dépouillée de tout artifice.
