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 Petit-Canot.
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 Petit-Canot is a locality in Mont-Valin; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Le Petit-Canot is located at 48.8367°N, 71.1089°W.
Le Petit-Canot rests in a rugged pocket of the wilderness, defined by the relentless, dark pulse of the Rivière Shipshaw. It lies 45.5 km north of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 356°T), and is situated 24.5 km north of Saint-David-de-Falardeau. The air here holds a crisp, northern weight, clinging to the spruce-lined slopes near the Plateau du Lac des Huit Chutes with a damp, lingering chill. Beyond the immediate reach of the river, Lac du Dravage sits in quiet repose, its surface reflecting the shifting grey light that marks the change of seasons in this isolated terrain. While the vast expanse of Parc national des Monts-Valin looms thirty-three kilometers to the east, Le Petit-Canot maintains its own singular solitude, where the land rises in sharp, demanding ridges that seem to swallow the sound of the wind. The history of Le Petit-Canot persists in the memory of the timber drives that once choked the Rivière Shipshaw, when the flow of water served as the primary vein for regional industry. Today, the economy remains defined by the timberlands and the deep, enduring silence of the boreal forest, which exerts a quiet pressure on those who dwell within its borders. Life here follows the necessities of the climate, with the local traditions shaped by the demands of a landscape that does not yield easily to human intervention. Even now, the passage of a single boat or the snap of a branch against the cold creates a resonance that lingers long after the movement has ceased, grounding Le Petit-Canot in a reality defined by timber, water, and the vast, unyielding reach of the north.
Le Petit-Canot s’étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les rives de la Rivière Shipshaw, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers les terres basses. Ce coin de pays, voisin du Plateau du Lac des Huit Chutes, respire une solitude ancienne que la rudesse du climat septentrional sculpte avec une précision implacable. À trois kilomètres de là, les eaux du Lac du Dravage dorment dans une immobilité minérale, rappelant aux rares visiteurs le labeur des hommes qui, jadis, guidaient les billots sur ces passages étroits. L’air y possède une texture de givre et de sève, une fraîcheur tranchante qui descend des hauteurs, portée par le vent qui s’engouffre depuis le Parc national des Monts-Valin, situé à trente-trois kilomètres. Pour quiconque observe Le Petit-Canot sous la lumière oblique du crépuscule, le paysage se dépouille de ses artifices pour ne laisser apparaître que l’essentiel : la roche grise, le bois sombre des résineux et cette terre qui exige tant de patience. Il subsiste ici une manière de vivre discrète, héritée d’une tradition de débrouillardise où chaque bâtisse semble s’être posée là par nécessité, dans le respect de cette géographie indomptée qui dicte ses propres lois aux jours qui passent.
