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 Fond Noir.
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 Fond Noir is a locality in Portneuf-sur-Mer; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Fond Noir is located at 48.6331°N, 69.1406°W.
Le Fond Noir rests where the cold, salt-heavy breath of the St. Lawrence meets the quiet, persistent pull of the Rivière Portneuf. It lies 12.6 km south-south-west of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 202°T), and is situated 3.3 km west-north-west of Rivière-Portneuf. The land here holds a stark, northern clarity, where the light at dusk clings to the dark needles of spruce with a sharp, metallic intensity. Inland, the terrain rises into rugged, granite-streaked ridges, while the nearby Chutes Philias send a constant, low-frequency hum through the damp air, marking a boundary between the heavy forest and the open water. To the west, the stillness of Lac à Canard offers a deep, reflective mirror to the shifting grey sky, grounding the landscape in a quiet, elemental solitude. The history of Le Fond Noir reflects the hard-won resilience of those who settled along the rugged edges of the coast, finding purpose in the seasonal cycles of the water and the timber. Life in Le Fond Noir moves with the tide, defined by the practical demands of forestry and the maritime traditions that have long shaped the local economy. The woodsmoke that lingers near the shore in the autumn carries the scent of a long-standing dependence on the natural bounty of the region, where the work of the day is measured by the rising and falling of the river. Even as the modern world shifts, the people here maintain a quiet, watchful relationship with the elements, finding a particular beauty in the way the morning frost crystallizes on the hulls of moored boats.
Le Fond Noir s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre l’embouchure de la Rivière Portneuf pour sculpter une géographie de contrastes. Dans la clarté déclinante du crépuscule, l’horizon se fragmente en nuances d’ardoise et d’argent, révélant la rudesse d’un terrain façonné par les marées et le passage lent des glaces. À quelques kilomètres, le silence des Chutes Philias impose une cadence sourde, une mélodie d’eau vive qui semble murmurer aux forêts environnantes, tandis que le Lac à Canard, retiré dans son repli de terre, garde le secret de la forêt boréale. Les familles qui habitent Le Fond Noir connaissent cette terre par la texture de ses pierres et le ressac incessant du fleuve, héritage d’une vie tournée vers les ressources du grand large. Ici, l’économie se mesure à la ténacité des hommes face à la puissance des éléments, dans un équilibre précaire entre la terre ferme et l’immensité maritime. Chaque soir, la lumière s’attarde sur les rives avant de sombrer, laissant le paysage à une solitude pure, presque palpable, où l’histoire se confond avec le murmure ininterrompu de la Rivière Portneuf qui rejoint, immuable, la démesure du Saint-Laurent.
