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 Les Bouleaux.
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.

Les Bouleaux is a locality in Saint-François-Xavier-de-Brompton; Le Val-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Bouleaux is located at 45.5492°N, 72.0244°W.
Les Bouleaux rests within the quiet reach of the Colline Melbourne, where the land slopes toward the steady, dark pulse of the Rivière Saint-François. It lies 19.1 km north-north-west of Sherbrooke, QC (from Sherbrooke, QC: bearing 328°T), and is situated 2.7 km south-south-west of Windsor. The air here holds a particular clarity, especially at dusk when the light flattens against the water, turning the river into a ribbon of polished slate. While the Petit lac Saint-François sits just 2 km away, the presence of the water defines the local mood, drawing the eye toward the horizon where the land lifts toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Parc national du Mont-Orford, located 28 km away. Nearer to home, the Chutes à Kendall churns 6 km from the center, providing a constant, low-frequency hum that anchors the stillness of the surrounding woods. Life in Les Bouleaux follows the seasonal turning of the earth, where the cold mornings demand a heavy coat and the afternoons offer a sharp, golden warmth that clings to the bark of the namesake trees. Settlement in Saint-François-Xavier-de-Brompton grew from the necessity of navigating the rugged terrain of Le Val-Saint-François, where early industry leaned into the timber and the strength of the river. The local economy persists with a modesty that favors small-scale production and private enterprise, keeping the pace of daily affairs steady and unforced. Families who have spent generations here understand the weight of the winters and the brief, frantic beauty of the thaw, maintaining traditions that prioritize the neighborly exchange of goods and labor. There is a distinct, understated pride in the way Les Bouleaux manages its chores, a quiet resolve that mirrors the endurance of the hills and the relentless, forward motion of the Rivière Saint-François.
Les Bouleaux s'étire avec une langueur paisible près de la Colline Melbourne, là où le relief ondule pour accueillir les premières ombres de la soirée. À proximité, le courant de la Rivière Saint-François imprime un rythme constant à la terre, polissant les galets et rafraîchissant l'air qui descend des hauteurs. La lumière déclinante transforme les champs environnants en une étendue cuivrée, tandis que le Petit lac Saint-François, situé à deux kilomètres, semble retenir le ciel dans son miroir immobile. Plus loin, vers l'horizon, la silhouette imposante du Parc national du Mont-Orford dessine une frontière bleue contre laquelle viennent se perdre les brumes matinales. Les habitants de Les Bouleaux connaissent bien cette topographie familière, marquée par la présence distante des Chutes à Kendall, dont le grondement sourd parvient parfois jusqu'aux oreilles attentives par temps calme. L'histoire du sol se lit dans la texture des labours et dans la persistance des boisés qui entourent chaque propriété, rappelant une vocation agricole héritée des premiers défrichements. Ici, le travail de la terre demeure une liturgie silencieuse, dictée par la montée des sèves et le retour des oiseaux migrateurs, offrant à quiconque s'y attarde une plénitude rare, celle d'une existence en accord avec la lente respiration de la vallée.
