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 Trou-des-Valets.
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 Trou-des-Valets is a locality in Baie-du-Febvre; Nicolet-Yamaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Trou-des-Valets is located at 46.1683°N, 72.7550°W.
Le Trou-des-Valets emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of Baie-du-Febvre as a quiet point of convergence where the land yields to the expansive reach of Lac Saint-Pierre. It lies 25.3 km south-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 220°T), and is situated 12.5 km west-south-west of Nicolet. The Rivière Colbert carves a deliberate path toward the water, its currents moving with a heavy, steady composure that defines the local horizon. Along the Coteau de Sable, the soil holds a granular, ancient quality, shifting slightly under the weight of the humid air that rolls off the lake at dusk. The light here settles low and thick, turning the reeds a muted, bruised gold before the blue of evening claims the shoreline. Settlement in Le Trou-des-Valets reflects the long-standing agricultural character of the Nicolet-Yamaska region, where the work of the day is dictated by the seasonal cycle of the fields and the temperamental moods of the water. Families have tended these margins for generations, building a life that remains closely aligned with the seasonal migration of birds and the shifting levels of the Rivière Colbert. The local economy persists in a lean, functional harmony with the land, prioritizing the quiet maintenance of the harvest and the stewardship of the shoreline. While the pace of modern life hums in the distance, the residents of Le Trou-des-Valets maintain a focus on the tangible, working the dark, rich earth until the light fades and the water turns to glass.
Le Trou-des-Valets déploie sa silhouette singulière sur les rives basses du Lac Saint-Pierre, là où le ciel semble s'abaisser pour toucher l'étendue liquide. Le sol du Coteau de Sable, par sa texture granuleuse et ses nuances fauves, retient la chaleur des journées longues, offrant aux promeneurs une assise ferme pour contempler les méandres de la Rivière Colbert. Dans cette portion de Baie-du-Febvre, le paysage se définit par une horizontalité apaisante, ponctuée par le murmure constant de l'eau qui s'écoule lentement vers les profondeurs du grand bassin. La lumière du crépuscule y étire des ombres précises, soulignant le relief discret des dunes anciennes et la persistance d'une agriculture patiente qui façonne les champs depuis des générations. Le Trou-des-Valets conserve une humilité tranquille, loin des agitations urbaines, préférant le rythme lent des marées intérieures et le passage des oiseaux migrateurs qui trouvent refuge dans les zones inondables. Ici, chaque sentier longeant la Rivière Colbert raconte une histoire de sédiments et de patience, rappelant que la terre, bien que fragile, demeure le socle immuable d'une vie rythmée par la montée des eaux et le retour des vents du large.

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.
