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-à-Larochelle.
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-à-Larochelle is a locality in Saint-Camille-de-Lellis; Les Etchemins, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Pointes-à-Larochelle is located at 46.5416°N, 70.2168°W.
Les Pointes-à-Larochelle rests upon the rugged, enduring terrain of Saint-Camille-de-Lellis, where the land rises toward the imposing silhouette of the Montagne à Bourassa. It lies 20.1 km south of Secteur des Sentiers-Pédestres-de-Saint-Fabien, QC (from Secteur des Sentiers-Pédestres-de-Saint-Fabien, QC: bearing 189°T), and is situated 9.4 km west-south-west of Saint-Just-de-Bretenières. The Rivière aux Orignaux carves a persistent path through this landscape, its waters drawing a cold, silver line against the dark spruce and hardwood stands that define the horizon. During the twilight hours, the light flattens against the slopes, turning the surrounding hills into deep shades of indigo and slate. Beyond the immediate reach of these banks, the stillness is punctuated by the occasional shift of wind through the canopy, a sound that carries the weight of the dense, northern woods. Lac Saint-Laurent sits about 7 km away, acting as a quiet reservoir in the distance, while the protected expanse of the Réserve écologique internationale Thomas-Sterry-Hunt lies about 14 km away, preserving the wild character that has long defined the edges of this region. Les Pointes-à-Larochelle anchors a geography shaped by the steady, demanding cycles of forestry and agriculture, industries that have dictated the pace of life here for generations. The people who maintain these lands move with a deliberate efficiency, mirroring the constant, seasonal shifts in the air that turn from the humid breath of summer to the biting, crystalline frost of winter. Traditions here are quiet and private, rooted in the hard work of managing the soil and the timber that defines the local economy. Even as modern life touches the fringes, Les Pointes-à-Larochelle holds to a persistent, grounded identity, one that values the clarity of a winter morning and the resilience of a life lived close to the rhythm of the Rivière aux Orignaux.
Les Pointes-à-Larochelle s'étirent avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres hautes des Etchemins, là où le sol semble retenir le souvenir des labours anciens. Le relief, marqué par la proximité immédiate de la Montagne à Bourassa, impose une verticalité douce qui protège les habitations des vents dominants. À quelques pas, la Rivière aux Orignaux dessine un ruban d'eau vive dont le murmure accompagne le travail des hommes et le lent déclin du jour. La lumière de fin d'après-midi glisse sur les pentes, dorant les champs avant de se perdre dans les boisés qui s'étendent vers le Lac Saint-Laurent, distant de sept kilomètres environ. Plus loin, vers le sud, la Réserve écologique internationale Thomas-Sterry-Hunt préserve une part de nature sauvage, soulignant l'isolement bienveillant de ce secteur. Les Pointes-à-Larochelle conservent cette allure singulière des lieux qui se suffisent à eux-mêmes, où le rythme de la vie s'accorde au cycle des récoltes et à la patience du terrain. Les familles y cultivent un attachement profond pour cette topographie accidentée, transformant chaque parcelle en un héritage transmis par le geste et le labeur, loin des agitations des grands centres.
