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 Lac-des-Hauteurs.
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 Lac-des-Hauteurs is a administrative sector in L'Anse-Saint-Jean; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Lac-des-Hauteurs is located at 48.0667°N, 70.5167°W.
Le Lac-des-Hauteurs rests within the rugged, elevated terrain of L'Anse-Saint-Jean, where the horizon holds a sharp, quiet intensity. It lies 37.9 km west-north-west of Secteur des Huit-Lacs, QC (from Secteur des Huit-Lacs, QC: bearing 291°T), and is situated 29.6 km south-west of L'Anse-Saint-Jean. The air here possesses a thin, crystalline clarity, particularly as the evening light catches the dark coniferous slopes that surround Petit lac Pierre, located just a kilometer away. While the distant, thundering presence of Chutes à Bianca lies eighteen kilometers toward the horizon, the immediate surroundings of Le Lac-des-Hauteurs are defined by a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows of the hills. Further out, the landscape opens toward the vast, protected reaches of Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, fifteen kilometers distant, while the winding path of the Rivière à la Catin follows its own ten-kilometer course through the lower, shadowed valleys. The Côte à François defines the local topography, anchoring the land in a series of steep, rocky heights that demand a deliberate pace from those who traverse them. Life in Le Lac-des-Hauteurs reflects the demands of this high, forested country, where the economy has long been shaped by the stubborn necessities of forestry and the seasonal cycles of the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay region. The resilience of the people here mirrors the enduring stone of the ridges, with daily routines adjusted to the long winters that settle early over the cedar and spruce. Local traditions remain tied to the land’s capacity for endurance, favoring a quiet, self-reliant character that values the turning of the seasons above the rush of the outside world. Even now, one finds that the most profound moments arrive without fanfare, such as the way the morning mist clings to the water's edge, turning the familiar hills into silhouettes of deep, ink-washed blue.
Le Lac-des-Hauteurs se déploie dans une solitude minérale où la lumière du soir s'attarde sur les crêtes, révélant une terre façonnée par les glaces et la patience des hommes. À peine distant d'un kilomètre, le Petit lac Pierre offre une surface calme qui semble absorber le silence des vastes étendues boréales, tandis qu'à une quinzaine de kilomètres, le Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie impose son relief escarpé à l'horizon. Les habitants, habitués à la rudesse du climat, entretiennent un lien étroit avec ce territoire sauvage où la Rivière à la Catin serpente à dix kilomètres de là, marquant le rythme lent d'un quotidien tourné vers la terre et la forêt. Non loin, les Chutes à Bianca grondent dans un fracas régulier, rappelant la puissance indomptée des eaux qui parcourent ce secteur près de Côte à François. La vie s'organise ici avec une économie de gestes, héritée d'une mémoire collective qui valorise l'essentiel et le respect des saisons. En parcourant les sentiers autour de Le Lac-des-Hauteurs, on perçoit cette atmosphère particulière, faite de brumes matinales et d'odeurs de résineux, qui définit l'identité profonde de ces hautes terres québécoises, loin du tumulte des grandes agglomérations.
