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-Croche.
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-Croche is a locality in Lac-Supérieur; Les Laurentides, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Croche is located at 46.3822°N, 74.5831°W.
Le Barrage-Croche holds a solitary presence within the rugged terrain near the Mont Nixon, standing as a quiet anchor where the land begins to rise into the Laurentian heights. It lies 29.4 km north of Mont-Tremblant, QC (from Mont-Tremblant, QC: bearing 3°T), and is situated 16.3 km north-east of Labelle. The Rivière du Diable flows past with a persistent, low-frequency hum, its currents pressing against the stone and timber of the structure while Lac Graham sits perfectly still, a mirror reflecting the gathering violet of the evening sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the shadows of the trees stretch long and thin, catching the last sharp glint of light before the forest settles into the cool, damp breath of the night. This proximity to the wild, bracing air of the landscape gives Le Barrage-Croche a stark, elemental quality, as if the earth itself were pausing to listen to the movement of the stream. The history of Le Barrage-Croche remains tied to the necessity of managing the flow of the Rivière du Diable, a task that once required a steady hand and a keen understanding of the seasonal cycles of the woods. While the Chutes Croches provide a distant, rhythmic roar that punctuates the stillness of the surrounding bush, the daily operations here have evolved to mirror the deliberate pace of the region, where the economy is shaped by the presence of the Parc national du Mont-Tremblant. Visitors moving through the corridor often stop to observe the way the water yields to the architecture, finding beauty in the functional geometry of the site. Life in this corner of Lac-Supérieur follows the turning of the seasons, defined by the woodsmoke that rises in winter and the bright, relentless sun that warms the granite faces of the hills during the brief, intense summer months.
Le Barrage-Croche se dresse avec une humilité minérale sur les rives de la Rivière du Diable, là où l’eau semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers les terres basses. À l’ombre protectrice du Mont Nixon, le relief s’accentue, offrant aux regards une topographie accidentée dont la rudesse rappelle les hivers longs et la persévérance des pionniers ayant jadis ouvert ces passages forestiers. Le Lac Graham, étendu comme un miroir immobile, capte les dernières lueurs d’un jour déclinant, tandis que le murmure lointain des Chutes Croches rythme le silence des bois environnants. Cette présence hydrologique constante façonne le quotidien des habitants, héritiers d’une relation intime avec un milieu sauvage que le Parc national du Mont-Tremblant protège à quelques lieues de distance. L’air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d’effluves de conifères et de terre humide, une signature olfactive propre à ce secteur des Laurentides. Le Barrage-Croche maintient ainsi son équilibre entre la force tranquille de ses eaux et la verticalité de ses sommets, offrant une existence rythmée par la lumière changeante sur la Rivière du Diable, témoin silencieux d’un passé industriel qui a su s’effacer pour laisser place à une quiétude souveraine.

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.
