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-Gravel-1.
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-Gravel-1 is a locality in Lac-Pikauba; Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Gravel-1 is located at 47.7552°N, 70.7503°W.
Le Barrage-Gravel-1 stands as a quiet sentinel where the rugged terrain of Lac-Pikauba meets the persistent flow of the Rivière Malbaie. It lies 39.4 km north-north-west of Baie-Saint-Paul, QC (from Baie-Saint-Paul, QC: bearing 333°T), and is situated 29.5 km west-north-west of Notre-Dame-des-Monts. The water here moves with a deliberate, dark weight, pressing against the structure as it nears the La Chouenne. Lac Gravel sits immediately adjacent, its surface reflecting the sharp, coniferous silhouettes that define the skyline. During the brief, intense hours of dusk, the light loses its heat, turning the surrounding slopes into deep shadows that seem to hold their breath against the encroaching chill. Nearby, the vast expanse of Parc national des Grands-Jardins influences the character of the land, casting an atmosphere of protected wildness over the vicinity. The presence of Le Barrage-Gravel-1 serves as a reminder of the human effort required to harness the wild currents of the region for industrial and logistical utility. Life in this part of Charlevoix is dictated by the seasons, where the movement of water and the management of natural resources have long shaped the local economy. The air carries a sharp, metallic scent of spruce and damp stone, a sensory reminder of the relentless work that built the infrastructure of the province. Those who frequent the periphery of the Rivière Malbaie understand that the environment demands a certain stoicism, as the cold winds sweeping down from the higher elevations often dictate the pace of the day.
Le Barrage-Gravel-1 s’impose comme une sentinelle de pierre et d’eau, s’étirant avec une rectitude austère le long des berges tourmentées de la Rivière Malbaie. Dans cette contrée où le souffle du vent semble porter les échos des reliefs anciens, la masse liquide du Lac Gravel s’immobilise contre le béton, offrant un miroir sombre aux sommets qui se dessinent vers La Chouenne. L’air y possède une densité particulière, une morsure glacée qui rappelle la proximité des étendues sauvages du Parc national des Grands-Jardins, situé à quelques lieues seulement. Ici, l’ouvrage hydraulique ne se contente pas de dompter le courant ; il dicte une cadence silencieuse à la terre, imposant sa présence massive aux forêts qui tentent de reprendre leurs droits sur les rives. Le Barrage-Gravel-1 observe la lumière du crépuscule glisser sur les crêtes, transformant le granite en une matière presque liquide sous le ciel changeant. La rudesse du terrain, façonnée par une géologie impitoyable, imprègne chaque geste lié à la gestion des eaux, liant les hommes à cette force brute et indomptable qui traverse la vallée. Dans ce silence minéral, le temps semble suspendu, laissant place à la seule respiration du courant qui s'écoule inlassablement vers l'aval.

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.
