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 Fonds-de-Pointe-au-Platon.
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 Fonds-de-Pointe-au-Platon rests along the vast, tidal shelf of the St. Lawrence, where the earth drops away toward the water beneath the looming presence of the Coteau de Roche. It lies 7.5 km west-south-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 253°T), and is situated 15.6 km south-west of Pont-Rouge. The air here holds a sharp, salt-tinged clarity, carrying the scent of damp shale and the cooling breath of the river that lingers long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. Just a kilometer away, the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon preserves a quiet, untamed wildness, while the Rivière Portneuf traces a distant, winding path about 6 km from the shore. The land itself possesses a stubborn, clay-heavy resilience, marking the transition between the high, stable plateaus of Sainte-Croix and the restless, gray expanse of the river’s edge. History in Les Fonds-de-Pointe-au-Platon moves with the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons, rooted in a heritage of maritime navigation and the careful cultivation of the surrounding Lotbinière soil. Local life balances the quiet persistence of traditional agriculture against the powerful, ever-present flow of the St. Lawrence, which serves as both a boundary and a vital artery for the region. The proximity of the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon offers a sanctuary for those who appreciate the austere beauty of the northern forest, where the trees lean slightly toward the water as if listening to the shifting tides. Daily routines here are defined by the light that shifts across the Coteau de Roche, illuminating the textures of the landscape and grounding Les Fonds-de-Pointe-au-Platon in a geography that feels both ancient and immediate.
Les Fonds-de-Pointe-au-Platon s’étire le long des berges du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre s'incline doucement vers les eaux vastes et froides, à proximité immédiate du Coteau de Roche. L’air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de l’humidité constante du grand fleuve qui dicte le rythme des journées et la patience des hommes. À seulement un kilomètre de distance, la Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon protège une nature sauvage, conservant intacts les boisés et les escarpements qui bordent ce rivage chargé de souvenirs agricoles. Plus loin, à une distance de six kilomètres, la Rivière Portneuf poursuit son cheminement discret vers le Saint-Laurent, ajoutant sa présence invisible à la géographie du secteur. Les Fonds-de-Pointe-au-Platon conserve l’allure des lieux où la terre arable rencontre l’immensité maritime, offrant une lumière de fin d’après-midi qui semble suspendre le monde dans une clarté presque irréelle. Entre le travail des champs et le souffle qui remonte du courant, la vie ici se mesure à l’usure des pierres et à la persistance des vents qui balayent les hauteurs. Les habitants observent le passage des navires avec une habitude silencieuse, sachant que le paysage, par sa rigueur et sa beauté dépouillée, impose sa propre loi à ceux qui ont choisi d’y établir leur demeure.
