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 Cent-Ans.
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 Cent-Ans is a locality in Irlande; Les Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Cent-Ans is located at 46.0725°N, 71.5425°W.
Le Cent-Ans rests in the quiet embrace of the highlands near the Colline Belmina, where the earth rises in firm, ancient ridges. It lies 18.6 km west of Thetford Mines, QC (from Thetford Mines, QC: bearing 264°T), and is situated 3.6 km south-south-east of Saint-Ferdinand. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, characterized by the persistent presence of the Rivière Bécancour as it navigates the rocky folds of the landscape. When the light leans long and amber across the slopes at dusk, the shadows of the Colline Belmina stretch toward the water, grounding the valley in a cool, contemplative blue. While Lac à la Truite sits just a short distance away, its surface often mirrors the gathering clouds, providing a calm counterpoint to the more restless currents of the nearby river. The history of Le Cent-Ans reflects the labor of those who cleared the timber and worked the mineral-rich soil of Les Appalaches. Agriculture and the extraction of local resources have long defined the way the residents engage with this rugged terrain, maintaining a life that follows the changing requirements of the seasons. The proximity of Les Trois Chutes serves as a frequent destination for those seeking the sound of falling water, a visceral reminder of the power inherent in the local waterways. Though Parc national de Frontenac lies further out, the influence of the broader wilderness remains present in the crisp, sharp air that moves through the ridges each morning, shaping the resilience of the people who call this reach of the province home.
Le Cent-Ans s'éveille dans la lumière oblique des Appalaches, là où le sol des hautes terres façonne une existence discrète. Dominé par la silhouette robuste de la Colline Belmina, le territoire se déploie avec une lenteur minérale, bordé par les méandres de la Rivière Bécancour qui charrient le souvenir des anciennes industries minières. L'air, chargé d'une humidité fraîche, circule entre les reliefs, rappelant la proximité du Lac à la Truite, dont les eaux calmes se trouvent à quatre kilomètres de distance. À mesure que le jour décline, le calme descend sur les terres agricoles, laissant percevoir le murmure lointain des Trois Chutes situées à neuf kilomètres, tandis que l'horizon semble s'étirer vers les étendues plus sauvages du Parc national de Frontenac, distant de trente-quatre kilomètres. Le Cent-Ans préserve une identité façonnée par ce relief exigeant, où chaque pierre et chaque sillon de terre racontent une patience paysanne héritée des défricheurs. La rudesse du climat et la texture des sols schisteux imposent un rythme sobre, une permanence qui ne demande aucune parure, sinon celle de cette clarté dorée qui glisse, chaque soir, sur les pentes escarpées de la région, unifiant le domaine dans une sérénité presque austère.

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.
