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 Pied-des-Monts.
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 Pied-des-Monts is a locality in Lac-Pikauba; Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Pied-des-Monts is located at 47.6481°N, 70.6206°W.
Le Pied-des-Monts rests tucked within the rugged embrace of La Chouenne, where the land rises sharply to meet the sky. It lies 24.5 km north-north-west of Baie-Saint-Paul, QC (from Baie-Saint-Paul, QC: bearing 340°T), and is situated 11.8 km north-north-west of Saint-Urbain-de-Charlevoix. The terrain here is dominated by the persistent presence of the Rivière des Monts, a waterway that carve its path through the dense, resilient timber of the region. As evening approaches, the light thins and cools, catching the granite faces of the surrounding heights until they glow with a pale, bruised violet. Nearby, the quiet surface of Lac Georges acts as a dark mirror to the pines, while the expansive wilderness of Parc national des Grands-Jardins sits just far enough away to anchor the horizon in a sense of vast, untamed depth. Life in Le Pied-des-Monts follows the cold, clear logic of the seasons, shaped by the demands of the forest and the slow work of the earth. Historically, the local economy has turned on the harvesting of timber and the careful management of the surrounding woods, activities that require a keen eye for the shifts in weather and the health of the timber stands. The people who make their home in Le Pied-des-Monts hold to a quiet, exacting standard of self-reliance, finding beauty in the way the frost stiffens the morning air and the way the woodstoves burn long into the night. It is a location defined not by grand gestures, but by the steady accumulation of small, necessary tasks that keep the hearths warm and the forest paths clear.
Le Pied-des-Monts s’étire avec une humilité souveraine dans le La Chouenne, là où les terres s’inclinent pour saluer le passage de la Rivière des Monts. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité froide qui semble figer les reliefs dans une attente silencieuse, tandis que l’air, chargé des effluves de la forêt boréale, descend des hauteurs pour envelopper les habitations. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Georges demeure un miroir sombre sous le ciel changeant, rappelant aux résidents la rigueur et la constance de leur environnement immédiat. Les activités humaines, rythmées par le labeur et la patience, se déploient dans ce cadre où la rudesse du terrain dicte ses propres lois. Plus loin, le Parc national des Grands-Jardins exerce son influence protectrice sur l’horizon, imposant sa silhouette austère à quiconque observe la ligne de crête. La vie dans Le Pied-des-Monts se construit sur cette relation étroite avec le sol, une existence façonnée par les besoins de la terre et la nécessité de domestiquer un milieu sauvage. Chaque habitant connaît le poids de ces espaces vastes, trouvant dans la proximité de la Rivière des Monts une respiration nécessaire pour braver les hivers longs qui transforment le paysage en une étendue de blancheur silencieuse.
