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-du-Moulin-Leclerc.
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-du-Moulin-Leclerc is a locality in Rivière-à-Claude; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-du-Moulin-Leclerc is located at 49.2200°N, 65.9443°W.
Le Barrage-du-Moulin-Leclerc anchors itself within the rugged terrain of the Le Bec de Corneille, where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence. It lies 43.6 km north-west of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 312°T), and is situated 15.5 km west of Mont-Louis. The water of the Rivière à Claude presses against the stone and timber, creating a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the acoustic horizon of the site. As the light shifts toward evening, the damp air clings to the moss-covered banks, and the shadows lengthen across the slope, rendering the sharp edges of the landscape soft and indistinct. While the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence dominates the view, the presence of Lac de la Coulée, situated some 8 km away, offers a quiet, inland stillness that contrasts with the churning movement of the nearby river. The history of Le Barrage-du-Moulin-Leclerc persists in the quiet utility of its construction, reflecting a time when the movement of water dictated the pace of local labor. Industry here has always been a negotiation with the elements, drawing power from the current to serve the needs of a scattered population. Residents move through the day with a focused efficiency, their lives shaped by the seasonal shifts of the Rivière à Claude and the persistent salt-heavy winds coming off the coast. Despite the changing demands of the modern economy, the site retains a spare, functional grace, serving as a marker of human persistence in a landscape that requires both respect and constant maintenance.
Le Barrage-du-Moulin-Leclerc se dresse avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la rudesse du Bec de Corneille. Dans cette contrée façonnée par les courants, le débit de la Rivière à Claude impose une cadence ancienne, scandant le travail des hommes qui ont su dompter la force de l'eau pour moudre le grain et bâtir une existence contre les vents dominants. L'air y est vif, chargé de cette clarté froide qui semble magnifier chaque pierre et chaque courbe du rivage, tandis que le regard, cherchant l'horizon, devine la présence discrète du Lac de la Coulée, situé à quelques lieues dans les terres. Le Barrage-du-Moulin-Leclerc porte en ses structures la mémoire d'une industrie artisanale jadis vitale, transformant l'énergie brute en subsistance pour ceux qui habitent ces côtes escarpées. La lumière crépusculaire y dépose des teintes d'acier et d'ardoise, révélant la texture tourmentée d'un sol qui exige beaucoup de ses occupants. Entre la démesure du fleuve et la quiétude des replis forestiers avoisinants, la vie se perpétue avec une sobriété volontaire, façonnée par la proximité constante des éléments et le rythme immuable des marées qui lèchent les fondations de ce site singulier.
