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 Plateau-Laval.
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 Plateau-Laval is a residential area in Bécancour; Bécancour, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Plateau-Laval is located at 46.3456°N, 72.4850°W.
Le Plateau-Laval rests upon a subtle rise of land, positioned near the waters of the St. Lawrence and the Rivière Bécancour. It lies 4.5 km east of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 86°T), and is situated 3.9 km west of Bécancour. The terrain here holds a quiet stillness, where the low light of dusk catches the damp earth and turns the fields into muted shades of slate and gold. Nearby, the water of the Rivière Bécancour moves with a deliberate weight, carving its path through the Plateau Laval with a persistence that defines the local horizon. To the north, the surface of Lac aux Outardes reflects the shifting clouds, while the distant Chutes Thibodeau mark the wider reach of the regional landscape. Life in Le Plateau-Laval persists with a focus on the land and the steady work of the seasons. The local economy finds its footing in the traditions of the region, where the influence of the river and the surrounding agricultural tracts shape the daily routines of the people. History here is found in the simple arrangement of the roads and the structures that face the river, standing firm against the northern wind. Residents move through the day with a grounded awareness of their surroundings, respecting the natural bounds set by the Rivière Bécancour and the expansive, open air that characterizes this part of the country.
Le Plateau-Laval se déploie avec une sérénité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où les eaux larges imposent une cadence lente aux journées qui s'étirent. Ce territoire, marqué par les méandres de la Rivière Bécancour, dessine un horizon où la terre agricole s'incline doucement vers le fleuve, offrant aux habitants un panorama façonné par le travail patient des générations successives. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac aux Outardes retient les reflets changeants du ciel, tandis que le rugissement lointain des Chutes Thibodeau accompagne le murmure des vents qui traversent les champs. Le Plateau-Laval conserve une allure sobre, héritière de ces espaces où l'industrie et la culture s'entremêlent sans ostentation, trouvant dans la rudesse du climat une forme de noblesse silencieuse. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une texture particulière, dorant les berges de la Rivière Bécancour et soulignant le relief des terres basses. Ici, la vie se mesure à la patience des marées et au calme des saisons, chaque habitant observant l'horizon avec la certitude que ce sol, entre fleuve et rivières, demeure le pivot d'une existence simple, tournée vers la terre et les horizons vastes qui définissent toute l'identité de Bécancour.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude.
