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 Quatorze-Arpents.
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 Quatorze-Arpents is a locality in Saint-Gédéon; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Quatorze-Arpents is located at 48.5117°N, 71.7572°W.
Les Quatorze-Arpents occupies a low-lying stretch of earth where the persistent currents of La Belle Rivière meet the expansive, restless spirit of Lac Saint-Jean. It lies 8.7 km west-south-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 241°T), and is situated 14.3 km north-north-west of Hébertville. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, anchored by the distant, watchful presence of Mont Résimond-Ratté that looms against the northern sky. During the shift toward dusk, the air cools rapidly, carrying the sharp, clean scent of water over the fields as the light thins into a pale, bruised violet. This landscape, shaped by the push and pull of the basin, offers a stark clarity that makes every fence line and shoreline willow stand out with startling precision. While the horizon feels vast, the focus of the land remains fixed on the water, which dictates the mood of the seasons and the quiet expansion of the horizon. Life in Les Quatorze-Arpents carries the weight of a long agricultural legacy, where the soil has been turned for generations to sustain the families who settled this edge of the basin. The local economy relies on this endurance, balancing traditional farming methods with the needs of a modern Saint-Gédéon, where the pulse of work is measured by the seasonal light rather than the clock. People move through their days with a deliberate economy of motion, tending to tasks that have remained largely unchanged in their necessity, even as the world beyond the lake moves faster. A sense of permanence prevails here, gathered from the steady flow of La Belle Rivière and the knowledge that, while Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon sits far enough away to remain a distant retreat, the immediate surroundings provide everything required for a life grounded in the rhythm of the harvest.
Les Quatorze-Arpents s’étirent paisiblement sur les rives du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de se fondre dans l’immensité des eaux. Le relief s’élève doucement vers le Mont Résimond-Ratté, dont la présence impose une verticalité familière aux habitants habitués à la patience des labours. À proximité, le cours de La Belle Rivière serpente avec une régularité obstinée, irriguant les parcelles qui ont façonné le labeur des familles depuis l’ouverture de ces terres agricoles. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les champs, transformant les sillons en ombres allongées qui rappellent la persévérance des premiers défricheurs. À quelques kilomètres, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon offre une respiration sauvage, un rappel constant de la forêt boréale qui borde cet horizon. Les Quatorze-Arpents maintient une cadence sobre, rythmée par la circulation des engins agricoles et le murmure du vent qui remonte du rivage. Il existe ici une noblesse dans la simplicité des gestes quotidiens, une manière d’habiter le sol qui ignore les artifices, préférant la solidité du roc et la clarté d’un ciel vaste. Chaque saison dépose sa patine sur les bâtiments de bois, confirmant que la vie ici demeure une entente silencieuse entre le travail de la main et l’immensité de ce paysage lacustre.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
