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 Cul-de-la-Baie.
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 Cul-de-la-Baie is a locality in Maskinongé; Maskinongé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Cul-de-la-Baie is located at 46.1889°N, 73.0089°W.
Le Cul-de-la-Baie rests in a quiet embrace where the Rivière Maskinongé meets the broad, shimmering expanse of Lac Saint-Pierre. It lies 18.0 km north-north-east of Sorel-Tracy, QC (from Sorel-Tracy, QC: bearing 26°T), and is situated 9.0 km south-west of Louiseville. The terrain here settles low against the water, defined by the proximity of the Coteau de la Terre de la Fabrique, which grants the land a subtle, sloping relief. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the river, turning the reeds into slender lines of ink against a pale, cooling sky, while the air carries a damp, mineral sweetness that lingers long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. Life in Le Cul-de-la-Baie follows the seasonal shifts of the water, reflecting a history deeply connected to the fertile, moist ground that defines this corner of Maskinongé. The economy has long been shaped by the gifts of the Rivière Maskinongé, drawing those who find value in the stillness of the wetlands and the traditional harvests of the shoreline. While visitors often travel to see the Chutes de Sainte-Ursule about 14 km away, the residents of Le Cul-de-la-Baie prefer the intimate, hushed scale of their own banks, where the sound of the current provides a constant, low-frequency pulse to the day.
Le Cul-de-la-Baie déploie ses rives paisibles sur l’étendue mouvante du Lac Saint-Pierre, là où l’horizon s’étire avec une lenteur souveraine. À proximité immédiate du Coteau de la Terre de la Fabrique, la terre se fait humble, épousant les méandres de la Rivière Maskinongé dont le cours tranquille dicte depuis longtemps le rythme des jours. Dans cet espace où le ciel semble peser d’un bleu plus dense sur l’eau, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les berges, révélant la texture fine d’un sol façonné par les alluvions et la patience des hommes. Le Cul-de-la-Baie conserve en ses abords une mémoire silencieuse, celle d’une agriculture attentive aux humeurs du courant et aux cycles de la terre grasse. À quelques lieues de là, les Chutes de Sainte-Ursule imposent leur fracas lointain, un rappel de la puissance brute qui contraste avec la sérénité horizontale de ce rivage. Ici, les heures s’écoulent sans heurt, portées par le souffle tiède qui remonte du lac, tandis que les habitations, tournées vers l’onde, guettent le retour des barques dans la pénombre. Chaque pierre et chaque touffe d’herbe, en bordure de la Rivière Maskinongé, semblent exhaler une fidélité têtue à ce paysage qui refuse les grands bouleversements, préférant la constance des eaux et la solitude bienveillante des plaines basses.
