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 Écureuils.
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 Écureuils is a village in Donnacona; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Écureuils is located at 46.6708°N, 71.7044°W.
Les Écureuils occupies a position of quiet command where the land leans toward the broad, silver expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 2.5 km east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 95°T), and is situated 9.6 km south of Pont-Rouge. The air here holds a distinct, cool clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier, which pulls the scent of damp earth and moving water through the streets. Nearby, the prominence of Le Cabouron rises as a stony sentinel, its shadow stretching long across the fields as the sun dips low, turning the river’s surface into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate reach of the shore, the terrain settles into a stillness that feels ancient, marked by the distant, hidden presence of Lac Henri, which rests some ten kilometers away in the quietude of the hinterland. The history of Les Écureuils carries the weight of early settlement, where the rhythms of the seasons have long dictated the movement of those who dwell along the riverbank. Once a gateway for trade and travel, the local economy reflects a heritage of reliance on the water, blending the legacy of traditional agriculture with the steady, practical pace of modern Donnacona life. Life in Les Écureuils is defined by these enduring connections, where the architecture of the old stone houses stands against the wind, and the evening light catches the eaves in a way that suggests a profound, settled patience. Residents move through their days with a steady awareness of the currents nearby, keeping a watchful eye on the tide and the shifting moods of the sky that define this stretch of the St. Lawrence.
Les Écureuils s’étire avec une langueur mélancolique le long du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa force tranquille et ses reflets d’argent aux heures où le jour décline. À proximité du Cabouron, le relief façonne une topographie singulière, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier viennent se mêler à l’immensité du courant principal dans un murmure constant. L’air, chargé d’une humidité fine qui s’attarde sur les terres fertiles de Portneuf, semble conserver la mémoire des premiers défrichements agricoles, cette ténacité des bâtisseurs qui ont su dompter la rudesse du sol pour y installer leurs racines. Le Lac Henri, caché dans une retraite paisible à une dizaine de kilomètres, ajoute une note de silence à cette géographie où l’histoire se devine dans la pierre des édifices anciens. Les Écureuils protège jalousement ses traditions, offrant aux passants la vue de ses rives escarpées où la lumière du crépuscule semble suspendre le cours des heures. La vie s’y écoule avec la régularité des marées et le calme des terres cultivées, maintenant un équilibre entre le labeur d’autrefois et la sérénité que procure la proximité immédiate de ces eaux majestueuses, témoins silencieux de tant de générations qui ont choisi de s’établir devant cette étendue liquide.
