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-Dahous.
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-Dahous is a locality in Lac-Jacques-Cartier; La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Dahous is located at 47.6406°N, 71.4625°W.
Le Barrage-Dahous anchors itself firmly within the rugged, forested terrain of Lac-Jacques-Cartier, where the persistent current of the Rivière aux Écorces defines the character of the land. It lies 43.7 km east-north-east of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 61°T), and is situated 19.5 km west-north-west of L'Étape. The water here maintains a constant, low murmur as it moves past the stone and timber, reflecting a sky that often turns the color of bruised plums during the brief, cool transitions of dusk. Only a short distance away, the quiet basin of Petit lac Papin holds a mirror to the surrounding conifers, providing a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic push of the river. While the reach of Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier remains a distant presence on the horizon, the immediate vicinity of Le Barrage-Dahous feels solitary and contained, defined by the raw, unadorned strength of the northern woods. Industry in this region historically mirrors the seasonal pulse of the timber trade and the management of these vital waterways, which have long dictated the movement of goods through La Côte-de-Beaupré. Men and women working near the Rivière aux Écorces have grown accustomed to the sharp, clean scent of damp bark and cold stone, a sensory memory that persists long after the work day concludes. The economy relies on this careful stewardship of natural resources, ensuring that the infrastructure remains functional against the weight of heavy winters and the spring thaw. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the necessity of tending to the river's flow and the maintenance of the quiet, moss-covered trails that wind through the dense, shadowed thickets.
Le Barrage-Dahous s'étire avec une discrétion minérale le long des rives de la Rivière aux Écorces, là où l'eau semble ralentir sa course pour mieux épouser les irrégularités du terrain accidenté. À seulement un kilomètre de distance, le Petit lac Papin capte les dernières lueurs du jour, offrant une surface lisse qui renvoie le ciel changeant de Lac-Jacques-Cartier. L'air y possède cette densité fraîche propre aux zones forestières, une humidité légère qui s'attarde sur les feuillages et refroidit la peau à l'approche du soir. Si le Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier s'étend à une trentaine de kilomètres, dominant l'horizon de sa présence massive, Le Barrage-Dahous conserve une intimité farouche, loin des grands passages. Les structures humaines se fondent ici dans la roche et le bois, rappelant une époque où l'exploitation des ressources dictait le rythme des jours. Il existe dans la solitude de ces rives une forme de quiétude qui ne demande rien, une présence silencieuse qui accompagne ceux qui parcourent ce secteur de La Côte-de-Beaupré. La lumière, en déclin, souligne les nervures du sol et la rectitude des arbres, transformant le paysage en une étendue où chaque détail gagne en précision, dans une clarté presque trop vive avant que l'ombre ne reprenne ses droits.

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.
