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-2.
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-2 is a locality in Lac-Jacques-Cartier; La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Gravel-2 is located at 47.7162°N, 71.5060°W.
Le Barrage-Gravel-2 stands as a singular point of structural restraint against the persistent movement of the Rivière aux Écorces. It lies 45.8 km north-east of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 49°T), and is situated 26.8 km north-west of L'Étape. The water here presses against the masonry with a cold, insistent weight, shaped by the rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Laurentian highlands. Nearby, the still surface of Lac Humble mirrors the shifting clouds, offering a profound stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency hum of the river current. As the evening light thins and turns the needles of the surrounding conifers to a deep, bruised indigo, the air grows sharp and carries the scent of damp granite and pine resin. This landscape demands a certain vigilance, where the wild, untamed character of the forest presses close to the engineered stone, reminding any observer that the wilderness here is not merely a backdrop but a primary, living force. The presence of Le Barrage-Gravel-2 reflects a history of managing the flow of these vital northern waters to serve the broader needs of the region. Local industry has long looked to the power of the Rivière aux Écorces, relying on the steady movement of the water to support the economic life of the surrounding territory. While the work conducted here is functional and focused on the practicalities of resource management, it maintains a quiet dignity, stripped of unnecessary ornamentation. The people who navigate this rugged country understand the necessity of such structures, viewing them as essential partners in an environment that is otherwise indifferent to human endeavor. Here, the passage of time is marked not by clocks, but by the subtle seasonal shifts in the water level and the encroaching frost that settles over the timber and stone.
Le Barrage-Gravel-2 se dresse avec une austère dignité sur les rives de la Rivière aux Écorces, là où l'eau semble ralentir sa course pour mieux épouser le relief accidenté du Lac-Jacques-Cartier. Dans la lumière oblique du déclin du jour, le bois sombre et la pierre grise se fondent dans une atmosphère de recueillement, tandis que le Lac Humble, blotti contre l'ouvrage, offre une surface miroitante qui capte chaque nuance du ciel boréal. La Rivière aux Écorces, par son murmure constant, dicte le rythme de cette contrée sauvage où la rudesse du climat a façonné une ténacité tranquille chez ceux qui côtoient ces eaux. Le Barrage-Gravel-2 impose sa présence physique, non comme une intrusion, mais comme un élément organique de la topographie, rappelant l'effort persistant nécessaire pour dompter les forces naturelles de la Côte-de-Beaupré. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'odeur résineuse des conifères qui surplombent les berges, et le silence qui s'installe à la tombée de la nuit souligne la solitude majestueuse du Lac Humble. Ici, la géographie impose sa loi, et le regard, porté vers l'horizon changeant, saisit la force tranquille d'un environnement où le moindre souffle de vent sur la Rivière aux Écorces semble raconter une histoire ancienne, faite de travail et de patience face à l'immensité du territoire.
