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 Grèves.
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 Grèves is a hamlet in Contrecœur; Marguerite-D'Youville, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Grèves is located at 45.9822°N, 73.1786°W.
Les Grèves rests along the expansive reach of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the water with a quiet, persistent grace. It lies 8.5 km south-west of Sorel-Tracy, QC (from Sorel-Tracy, QC: bearing 217°T), and is situated 11.3 km south of Berthierville. The air here holds a particular clarity, especially at dusk when the light catches the surface of the St. Lawrence and turns the horizon into a pale, shifting silver. Near the Coteau de la Terre de la Fabrique, the terrain rises slightly, offering a vantage point over the low-lying shoreline that has long defined the character of Les Grèves. The proximity to the Rivière Richelieu lends a sense of movement to the surroundings, as if the land itself were leaning toward the confluence of these great currents. In the stillness of the afternoon, one can feel the weight of the humidity rising from the water, cooling the fields and settling into the hollows of the earth. The history of Les Grèves is tied to the long, narrow strips of agricultural land that stretch back from the water, a legacy of the early settlers who organized their lives around the cycles of the seasons and the demands of the river. While Contrecœur has seen the steady progress of modern industry, the local economy continues to respect the rhythm of the soil and the proximity of the trade routes that once relied entirely on the currents of the St. Lawrence. Families in Marguerite-D'Youville often share stories that drift between the past and the present, maintaining a connection to the heritage of the region that feels as constant as the tides. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate intention, marked by the occasional sound of a ship passing in the distance or the rustle of wind through the tall grasses that line the banks of the Rivière Richelieu.
Les Grèves s'étire avec une lenteur majestueuse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière décline en teintes d'ambre et de cuivre sur les eaux larges. À proximité du Coteau de la Terre de la Fabrique, le paysage conserve cette rectitude des anciennes seigneuries, une ligne droite tracée par les premiers défricheurs qui cherchaient la terre fertile et le passage des navires. L'air, chargé d'une humidité qui vient du fleuve et de la Rivière Richelieu, semble suspendre les gestes quotidiens dans une clarté presque liquide. La mémoire des lieux, nourrie par une agriculture tenace et le passage discret des hommes, imprègne chaque rangée de terre sombre et chaque sentier bordant la rive. Les Grèves demeure un espace de silence et d'observation, où le vent du nord apporte parfois, avec le frisson des herbes hautes, l'écho des siècles passés. Ici, la vie s'ajuste au mouvement perpétuel des courants qui défilent, offrant à ceux qui demeurent une perspective constante sur l'immensité du cours d'eau. La rudesse du climat forge une identité faite de patience, une manière d'exister en harmonie avec les caprices de la berge, transformant chaque crépuscule en une cérémonie silencieuse pour les habitants qui contemplent l'horizon infini.
