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 Cap-de-Roche.
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 Cap-de-Roche is a locality in Val-des-Sources; Les Sources, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Cap-de-Roche is located at 45.7994°N, 71.9022°W.
Le Cap-de-Roche stands as a singular outcropping within the Butte à Dion, where the earth rises with a quiet, deliberate intent above the surrounding lowlands. It lies 3.7 km north-east of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 49°T), and is situated 14.7 km east-south-east of Kingsey Falls. The Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest courses nearby, its current tracing the base of the slopes and lending a persistent, low-frequency hum to the damp morning air. Here, the light at dusk catches the jagged edges of the stone, turning the grey mineral faces into warm, bruised hues of violet and gold before the shadows pull tight against the ground. While Lac Perkins and the Chutes Fontainebleau lie roughly 11 km away, they remain distant whispers, leaving Le Cap-de-Roche to hold its own stillness amidst the dense, encroaching vegetation of the region. The history of Le Cap-de-Roche reflects the persistent efforts of those who once sought to carve a life from the rugged terrain of Les Sources. While the local economy has shifted from early agricultural trials to a quieter existence, the land retains the marks of those who worked the rocky soil, favoring small-scale endeavors over the clamor of industry. Life here follows the turning of the seasons, marked by the way the frost stiffens the grasses or how the summer heat settles heavily in the hollows of the Butte à Dion. Residents find a particular resonance in the solitude of the ridge, where the wind carries the scent of pine and wet earth, keeping the daily pace grounded in the simple, exacting demands of the landscape.
Le Cap-de-Roche se dresse avec une humilité certaine au sein de la Butte à Dion, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de s'incliner vers les eaux tranquilles de la Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest. Dans cette partie des Sources, l'air porte une fraîcheur particulière, un souffle qui traverse les terres agricoles et rappelle les heures lentes où le travail des hommes se mesurait à la patience des sillons. À une distance de onze kilomètres, le silence est parfois rompu par le murmure lointain des Chutes Fontainebleau, tandis que le Lac Perkins offre, à une distance similaire, un miroir aux cieux changeants de la fin du jour. Le Cap-de-Roche porte en lui la texture rugueuse d'un sol façonné par les générations, une présence qui ne cherche pas l'éclat mais puise sa force dans une fidélité aux horizons familiers. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose des teintes de cuivre sur les pentes, révélant la noblesse d'un terrain qui a su conserver son rythme propre, loin des précipitations du monde moderne. Ici, chaque sentier qui serpente vers le rivage raconte une histoire de labeur et de terre, une permanence qui habite le paysage sans jamais se dérober aux regards attentifs.

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.
