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-Paradis.
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-Paradis is a locality in Longue-Rive; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Petit-Paradis is located at 48.5689°N, 69.2583°W.
Le Petit-Paradis rests where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence, cradled by the steady, cold pull of the Rivière du Sault au Mouton. It lies 23.1 km south-west of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 215°T), and is situated 13.5 km west-south-west of Rivière-Portneuf. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that settles over the spruce and granite, especially as the late afternoon light turns the water of the Rivière du Sault au Mouton into a surface of hammered silver. Life in Le Petit-Paradis moves with the gravity of the tides and the seasonal shift of the northern woods, far removed from the clamor of larger centers. To the north, the terrain rises toward the hidden quiet of Lac du Deux Milles, while the more dramatic descent of Chutes Philias calls from the deeper interior. The landscape feels vast and indifferent to human haste, defined by the bracing chill of the coast and the dark, enduring presence of the timberline. Generations have anchored themselves to this rugged edge of the continent, finding sustenance in the timber and the seasonal bounty drawn from the river’s reach. The local economy persists through a quiet endurance, relying on the hard-won expertise of those who navigate the forestry tracks and the shifting ice of the winter months. Tradition here is not a grand performance but a persistent habit of self-reliance, observed in the way residents maintain their properties against the weight of heavy snows and the biting salt-laden winds. Even as the modern world intrudes, Le Petit-Paradis retains a stillness that feels ancient, a consequence of living so closely beside the relentless motion of the St. Lawrence.
Le Petit-Paradis s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’eau salée s’imprègne de la rudesse boréale, tandis que la Rivière du Sault au Mouton trace son sillage tranquille vers l’estuaire. Dans cette lumière oblique du soir, le paysage révèle une austérité qui force le respect, les terres se soulevant doucement vers des hauteurs boisées. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac du Deux Milles retient le silence des forêts intérieures, alors que plus loin, le fracas des Chutes Philias ponctue la géographie sauvage de la Haute-Côte-Nord. L’air y possède une texture vive, chargée d’embruns et de sève, qui accompagne les gestes lents des habitants habitués aux caprices du courant. Ici, l’économie s’est bâtie par une patience héritée des ancêtres, entre les activités forestières et la proximité du grand fleuve nourricier. Le Petit-Paradis conserve une humilité singulière, refusant le tumulte des cités pour préférer l’ordre des marées et le mouvement perpétuel des eaux. Chaque bâtiment en bois, patiné par les vents salins, semble raconter une existence modeste mais tenace, façonnée par les saisons rigoureuses qui transforment la terre en une étendue de givre ou en un sol fertile. La présence de la Rivière du Sault au Mouton, serpentant vers le large, agit comme un lien vital, rappelant à chacun que le destin de ces rivages demeure lié aux forces élémentaires.
