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 Écarts-Rouges.
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 Écarts-Rouges is a locality in La Visitation-de-Yamaska; Nicolet-Yamaska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Écarts-Rouges is located at 46.1147°N, 72.5664°W.
Les Écarts-Rouges sits low against the horizon where the land flattens toward the water, shaped by the deliberate, patient work of the Rivière Carmel. It lies 25.5 km south of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 184°T), and is situated 13.0 km south-south-east of Nicolet. The air here holds a particular clarity, especially at dusk when the light catches the moisture rising from the banks, turning the fields into long, amber-hued corridors of stillness. Near the Côte du Bélier, the topography reveals the quiet persistence of the earth, a steady stretch of soil that has long defined the character of the terrain. While Lac des Îles rests some distance away, its presence is felt in the way the wind shifts, carrying a faint, cool dampness that settles over the fields long after the sun has dipped below the treeline. The history of Les Écarts-Rouges reflects the quiet endurance of those who first cleared these reaches to work the heavy, fertile ground. Agriculture remains the quiet heartbeat of the local economy, with the daily movement of machinery and the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest dictating the pace of life. Families here hold to traditions that prioritize the land, tending to their plots with a focus that ignores the clamor of the modern world. In the quiet transition between seasons, one can observe the deliberate care taken in maintaining the fences and barns, a visual record of a life lived in direct contact with the soil. Throughout the year, the proximity to the Rivière Carmel ensures that the moisture and the climate remain predictable, allowing the people of Les Écarts-Rouges to maintain a steady, grounded existence that values consistency above all else.
Les Écarts-Rouges s’étendent avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses de La Visitation-de-Yamaska, là où la terre semble retenir le souffle des anciens laboureurs. À proximité de la Côte du Bélier, le relief s’incline doucement vers les rives de la Rivière Carmel, dont les eaux, chargées des limons fertiles de la plaine, guident le regard vers un horizon toujours ouvert. L’air y possède cette densité particulière des lieux agricoles, une fraîcheur qui s'attarde sur les champs dès que le soleil décline, transformant la lumière en une nappe dorée qui caresse les sillons. À une distance de quatorze kilomètres, le Lac des Îles agit comme une présence lointaine, presque une promesse de sérénité pour ceux qui habitent ces parages. La vie, rythmée par les travaux de la terre et le passage des cycles naturels, conserve une noblesse simple, héritée de générations ayant su dompter ces sols exigeants. Les Écarts-Rouges maintient ainsi son identité singulière, loin des agitations urbaines, préférant la constance du labeur et la fidélité aux horizons familiers. Chaque parcelle de ce domaine respire une forme de patience, une persévérance qui se lit dans la droiture des clôtures et le silence des champs sous le ciel immense, offrant à l'âme une quiétude rare.
