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-Ellwood.
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-Ellwood is a locality in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Ellwood is located at 48.0191°N, 74.1448°W.
Le Barrage-Ellwood stands as a quiet sentinel within the rugged expanse of La Tuque, Mauricie, defined by the persistent weight of the boreal forest and the shifting humors of the Canadian Shield. It lies 28.9 km west-north-west of Manouane, QC (from Manouane, QC: bearing 299°T), and is situated 29.4 km west-north-west of Sanmaur. The water of Lac Micazas sits barely a kilometer away, holding the sky in a mirror of dark, unmoving glass while the Rivière Blanche Nord-Ouest draws a distant, hidden line through the timber some ten kilometers to the north. Here, the air carries a sharp, resinous scent that clings to the bark of spruce and balsam fir, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the jagged horizon. The history of Le Barrage-Ellwood lingers in the remnants of hydraulic engineering, reflecting a time when the demands of resource extraction dictated the movement of earth and current. Today, the local economy operates with a measured economy of motion, prioritizing the maintenance of wild spaces and the slow harvest of the woods over the frantic pace of larger hubs. Life follows the seasonal tightening of the frost, a practical existence shaped by the isolation of the Mauricie wilderness and the deep, resonant silence that settles over the land when the wind ceases its agitation of the needles. Those who inhabit these reaches find a singular clarity in the solitude, finding their own way forward amidst the granite outcrops and the enduring influence of the northern terrain.
Le Barrage-Ellwood se dresse avec une austérité tranquille dans la rudesse forestière de La Tuque, là où la terre déploie ses reliefs sous un ciel souvent lavé par les vents du nord. À quelques pas seulement, le Lac Micazas offre une surface plane, miroir sombre et immobile qui semble retenir le souffle du monde, tandis que la Rivière Blanche Nord-Ouest serpente à une distance mesurée, marquant le rythme lent de ce territoire sauvage. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule s'étire en longues traînées cuivrées sur les conifères, révélant la texture rugueuse d'un sol façonné par les âges et les rigueurs climatiques de la Mauricie. Le Barrage-Ellwood impose sa présence minérale, rappelant la patience nécessaire pour apprivoiser cette nature indomptable qui, loin des agitations, dicte ses propres lois aux hommes. L'air y est pur, chargé d'une odeur de sève et de pierre froide, imprégnant chaque instant d'une solitude souveraine. Les habitants, héritiers de cette géographie exigeante, maintiennent un lien étroit avec cet horizon où l'eau et la roche se rencontrent dans un silence absolu, préservant une identité forgée par l'isolement et la beauté brute de ces terres québécoises.

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.
