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 Por-à-Vaches.
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 Por-à-Vaches is a locality in Coteau-du-Lac; Vaudreuil-Soulanges, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Por-à-Vaches is located at 45.2978°N, 74.1753°W.
Le Por-à-Vaches rests quietly along the edge of Lac Saint-Louis, a low-lying stretch of land where the earth yields softly to the encroaching water. It lies 5.8 km north-west of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC (from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC: bearing 324°T), and is situated 0.7 km north of Coteau-du-Lac. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp silt and the persistent, cool breath of the Rivière Rouge as it spills toward the lake. Near the La Marmite, the terrain settles into a stillness that feels ancient, marked by the slow, deliberate movement of the current. When the light fades at dusk, the water takes on the color of bruised plums, reflecting the sky in a way that makes the shoreline seem to dissolve entirely into the darkening horizon. History clings to the banks of Le Por-à-Vaches, where the land was shaped by the movement of people who long ago recognized the strategic value of these waterways. The local economy and the daily lives of those nearby have always been dictated by the proximity of the water, which serves as both a passage and a boundary. Though Parc national d'Oka stands some distance away, the influence of the wider landscape is felt in the steady, damp wind that blows across the fields of Coteau-du-Lac. Life here follows the needs of the seasons, characterized by the maintenance of equipment and the quiet observation of the ice as it forms along the Rivière Rouge, a cycle that remains as reliable as the turning of the tides.
Le Por-à-Vaches s'étire avec une humilité tranquille le long des rives du Lac Saint-Louis, là où l'horizon semble s'élargir pour accueillir les derniers souffles du jour. Cette parcelle de terre, voisine de La Marmite, conserve dans ses replis une mémoire agricole qui imprègne encore la texture du sol sous les pas des promeneurs. Lorsque la lumière décline, le ciel se teinte de reflets cuivrés qui viennent mourir contre les berges, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une humidité douce, transporte les murmures de la Rivière Rouge. À une distance de vingt-trois kilomètres, le Parc national d'Oka veille sur l'horizon, rappelant la présence souveraine d'une nature que les habitants respectent depuis des générations. Le Por-à-Vaches demeure un espace de patience, marqué par les cycles d'une vie rythmée par la proximité immédiate de l'eau et le labeur des champs environnants. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble raconter une histoire de persévérance, loin du tumulte des grands centres, dans une solitude partagée avec le vent qui remonte le courant. La clarté particulière de ce secteur, changeante et limpide, souligne la beauté brute d'un rivage où le temps paraît suspendu, offrant aux regards attentifs la simplicité d'un paysage qui ne cherche jamais à se donner en spectacle.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
