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 Pointes.
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 Pointes is a locality in Notre-Dame-Auxiliatrice-de-Buckland; Bellechasse, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Pointes is located at 46.6453°N, 70.5089°W.
Les Pointes rises from the rugged terrain of Notre-Dame-Auxiliatrice-de-Buckland, where the land tilts toward the persistent flow of the Rivière de la Fourche. It lies 26.8 km west-south-west of Secteur des Sentiers-Pédestres-de-Saint-Fabien, QC (from Secteur des Sentiers-Pédestres-de-Saint-Fabien, QC: bearing 252°T), and is situated 12.4 km south-south-east of Armagh. The earth here holds the deep, shadowed chill of the northern woods, anchored by the nearby heights of the Crête des Grives. When the light fails at dusk, the atmosphere thickens with a cold, metallic clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of every stone and cedar. To the west, the quiet expanse of Lac Crève-Faim sits in stillness, while the protected reaches of the Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon preserve the wild, untamed character of the high ground. The air in Les Pointes tastes of damp moss and moving water, a sensory reminder of the relentless pull of the Rivière de la Fourche as it carves its path through the Bellechasse hills. Life in Les Pointes persists through a quiet adherence to the cycles of the seasons, rooted in the hard-won history of the Bellechasse region. The local economy maintains a steady, functional relationship with the surrounding timber and the stubborn, rocky soil that defines the terrain. Farmers and woodcutters have long navigated the slopes near the Crête des Grives, finding a balance between the demands of the landscape and the need for a stable livelihood. Nearby, the ecological preservation of lands like the Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon provides a stark contrast to the worked fields, highlighting a commitment to the wilder aspects of the forest. Whether the sun is high or the frost is settling over the banks of the Rivière de la Fourche, the people maintain a focused, pragmatic existence, observing the land with the vigilance of those who know that survival here depends on respecting the terrain.
Les Pointes s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les contreforts qui bordent la Rivière de la Fourche, là où le terrain s’incline doucement sous le souffle des vents dominants. À l’ombre protectrice de la Crête des Grives, le paysage se compose de terres dont la patience agricole a façonné le relief, offrant des perspectives ouvertes sur des horizons que la lumière du soir nimbe d’une teinte argentée, presque imperceptible. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des travaux de la terre, tandis que le silence s’installe dès que les ombres s’allongent sur les champs. Non loin, le Lac Crève-Faim retient le ciel dans ses eaux calmes, offrant un contraste de quiétude avec le murmure permanent du cours d’eau voisin. À quelques kilomètres, la Réserve écologique Claude-Mélançon préserve une nature sauvage qui semble veiller sur l’équilibre des sols environnants. Les Pointes conserve ainsi une identité simple, faite de gestes répétés et d’une attention particulière portée à la terre généreuse. L’air y est vif, chargé de l’humidité des bois et de la terre noire, rappelant sans cesse aux habitants que leur existence demeure intimement liée à ces repères géographiques qui délimitent leur monde et leur quotidien.
