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-Six.
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-Six is a locality in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Petit-Six is located at 48.5153°N, 71.6144°W.
Le Petit-Six rests in quiet stillness along the banks of the La Petite Décharge, a landscape defined by the persistent pulse of moving water and the steady gaze of the Côte du Côtoyage. It lies 4.8 km south-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 143°T), and is situated 14.2 km north-north-east of Hébertville. The current of the La Petite Décharge carries a cool, silver clarity, reflecting a sky that often turns the color of crushed violets as the sun retreats behind the rise of the land. Life in Le Petit-Six maintains a steadfast connection to the waterways that have long shaped the contours of the region, where the air holds a crisp, damp weight even in the height of summer. Local industry and the daily patterns of the people near the Côte du Côtoyage have historically mirrored the rugged utility of the surrounding terrain, favoring a life lived close to the water’s edge. While Lac Tommy sits five kilometers distant, its presence serves as a silent anchor for those who look toward the horizon, just as the expansive reach of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, located thirty-three kilometers away, defines the broader ecological boundaries of the district. The inhabitants of Le Petit-Six find their own quiet grace in the routine of the seasons, observing how the light clarifies the textures of the earth and the reeds at the riverbank when the day finally settles into shadow.
Le Petit-Six s'étire avec une humilité tranquille le long des rives de La Petite Décharge, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle pour mieux épouser les contours de la Côte du Côtoyage. Dans cette portion de la région d'Alma, l'air porte souvent une fraîcheur humide, rappelant la proximité des terres sauvages et des espaces vastes qui façonnent le caractère de ceux qui habitent ici. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Tommy repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que plus loin, l'horizon s'élargit vers le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, dont la présence impose une rigueur naturelle à toute la contrée. Le Petit-Six observe le passage des heures sous une lumière changeante, celle-là même qui glisse sur les eaux calmes et souligne la rugosité des sols travaillés par les générations passées. L'économie locale, marquée par une relation directe avec la terre et l'eau, impose un rythme qui ne cherche jamais à se presser, préférant la constance des gestes répétés à l'agitation des grands centres. Ici, le paysage dicte sa propre loi, exigeant une attention particulière aux détails de la topographie et aux variations infimes du climat, offrant une présence solide, presque palpable, à quiconque s'arrête pour contempler ce segment singulier du territoire.
