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-Petit-Saguenay.
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-Petit-Saguenay is a locality in Petit-Saguenay; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Barrage-du-Petit-Saguenay is located at 48.1466°N, 70.0344°W.
Le Barrage-du-Petit-Saguenay stands as a sentinel of stone and water, anchoring the rugged northern terrain near the Les Plateaux. It lies 2.9 km west of Secteur Arcand, QC (from Secteur Arcand, QC: bearing 262°T), and is situated 5.7 km north-west of Secteur Baribeau. The flowing pulse of the Rivière Petit Saguenay defines the basin, where the water catches the low, pale light of late afternoon to shimmer like hammered silver against the dark, encroaching pines. Nearby, the stillness of Lac du Tyran offers a quiet counterpoint to the rush of the river, its surface reflecting the vast, indifferent sky of Quebec. While the expansive wildness of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay draws those seeking the grand scale of the landscape, the immediate vicinity of Le Barrage-du-Petit-Saguenay keeps a more intimate watch over the valley’s deep, cooling shadows and the damp, moss-scented earth. The persistence of the river has shaped the local identity, as the strength of the current once dictated the movement of logs and the early efforts to harness the energy of the highlands. Life here moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts, where the bite of the air informs the chores of the day and the enduring character of the residents. Woodsmoke often hangs heavy in the crisp morning, signaling a reliance on the land that has persisted through generations. Though the modern world hums along the periphery, the presence of the Rivière Petit Saguenay ensures that the fundamental spirit of the place remains anchored to the relentless, cold clarity of the flowing water.
Le Barrage-du-Petit-Saguenay se déploie avec une humilité saisissante parmi les Plateaux, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de plonger vers les profondeurs de la Rivière Petit Saguenay. À cette latitude, la lumière déclinante du soir étire les ombres sur les pentes boisées, conférant aux structures une dignité austère que seuls les vents du nord savent sculpter. À peine à deux kilomètres de distance, le Lac du Tyran dort dans une immobilité minérale, conservant le silence des temps anciens qui imprègne chaque anfractuosité du terrain. Si le Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay s'étend à vingt-quatre kilomètres, sa présence majestueuse influence la rigueur du climat et la patience des habitants qui, par leurs gestes mesurés, perpétuent un rapport intime avec ce sol rocailleux. Le Barrage-du-Petit-Saguenay demeure une sentinelle de bois et de pierre, observant l'eau vive qui poursuit son éternelle course vers l'aval. Ici, l'existence se définit par la rudesse des hivers et la brièveté des étés, forgeant une identité où la ténacité des hommes rencontre la force tranquille d'une nature indomptée, loin des agitations du monde, dans le murmure constant de la Rivière Petit Saguenay qui berce ces terres isolées.
