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-Rhéaume.
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-Rhéaume is a locality in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-Rhéaume is located at 47.8723°N, 73.4249°W.
Le Barrage-Rhéaume commands a stoic presence along the Rivière Saint-Maurice, where the water carries a heavy, dark clarity born of the northern woods. It lies 28.5 km east of Manouane, QC (from Manouane, QC: bearing 94°T), and is situated 27.8 km east of Sanmaur. The surrounding terrain rises in rugged swells of granite and dense timber, holding the cold air of the Canadian Shield even when the sun climbs high. Only a short distance away, the quiet basin of Petit lac Rhéaume reflects the sky with a mirror-like stillness, offering a sharp contrast to the persistent, low-frequency hum of the current pushing against the stone-bound structure. At dusk, the light loses its sharpness, turning the surface of the Rivière Saint-Maurice into a sheet of hammered copper that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the shadows have deepened in the pines. Le Barrage-Rhéaume serves as a functional anchor for the industry that has long defined the lifeblood of La Tuque, managing the flow of the waterway to power the machinery of the region. The history of this site is bound to the timber trade and the harnessing of the wild currents, a legacy of human ambition set against the unyielding reach of the forest. Daily life here operates with a lean, purposeful efficiency, as the local workforce tends to the infrastructure that keeps the currents in check. When the wind moves through the surrounding trees, it carries the scent of damp earth and crushed needles, a sharp, resinous perfume that reminds those who work near the concrete walls of the vast, untamed reaches lying just beyond the reach of the spillway.
Le Barrage-Rhéaume s’étire le long des méandres vigoureux de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, imposant sa présence minérale sur un sol où la rudesse du climat sculpte le caractère des hommes. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les eaux sombres avec une lenteur solennelle, venant mourir contre les structures de béton qui rappellent l'audace industrielle des bâtisseurs d'autrefois. À peine un kilomètre plus loin, le Petit lac Rhéaume déploie une surface lisse, miroir silencieux piégé par la forêt boréale qui encercle ce territoire de La Tuque. Le travail de la terre et l'exploitation forestière ont façonné une économie de subsistance, une manière d'exister où chaque geste répond à la rigueur des hivers interminables. Le Barrage-Rhéaume demeure une sentinelle de pierre, une construction nécessaire qui dompte le courant pour transformer la force brute de la nature en une ressource essentielle. Sous le ciel immense de la Mauricie, le vent transporte une odeur de sève et de résine, rappelant aux rares visiteurs que la vie ici obéit aux lois impérieuses des éléments, loin du tumulte urbain, dans un équilibre précaire entre la puissance de la Rivière Saint-Maurice et la solitude sauvage du Petit lac Rhéaume.

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.
Location data for Le Barrage-Rhéaume is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
