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 Roches-Plates.
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 Roches-Plates is a locality in Boischatel; La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Roches-Plates is located at 46.9022°N, 71.1656°W.
Les Roches-Plates holds a quiet, enduring presence within the La Falaise, where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence. It lies 10.3 km north-north-east of Québec, QC (from Québec, QC: bearing 18°T), and is situated 4.2 km north-north-east of Beauport. The Rivière Ferrée carves its way through this terrain, carrying the scent of damp earth and moving with a persistent, low murmur that defines the stillness of the afternoon. Nearby, the waters of Réservoir des Marches Naturelles hold the reflection of the sky with a mirror-like clarity, while the distant, rushing energy of Chutes du Sault à la Puce marks the wider horizon of the region. As the light begins to thicken toward dusk, the shadows lengthen across the uneven ground, turning the muted grey of the rock and soil into a soft, bruised violet. Life in Boischatel has long been shaped by the proximity of the water, with the local economy rooted in the industrious history of La Côte-de-Beaupré. Les Roches-Plates rests within this landscape of steep grades and fertile edges, where the inhabitants have maintained a steady, purposeful way of living through changing seasons. The air here often carries a sharp, crisp edge that quickens the blood, a reminder of the proximity to the great river. Whether tending to the land or moving between the established routes of the district, those who reside here find a distinct comfort in the predictable, elemental cycle of the tides and the seasonal shift of the trees that line the banks of the Rivière Ferrée.
Les Roches-Plates s’étendent avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa cadence majestueuse à la terre de Boischatel. Dans La Falaise, le sol semble retenir le souffle des vents marins, tandis que la Rivière Ferrée trace son sillon argenté pour rejoindre les eaux vastes, offrant à ce relief une douceur inattendue. Non loin de là, le Réservoir des Marches Naturelles demeure un miroir tranquille, captant les derniers éclats d’un crépuscule qui étire les ombres sur les champs et les battures. L’air, chargé d’une humidité saline et vivifiante, porte en lui le souvenir des labeurs anciens et la persistance d’une vie tournée vers l’horizon. Si l’on s’aventure vers l’est, le fracas des Chutes du Sault à la Puce résonne à quinze kilomètres, rappelant la puissance brute qui façonne ces paysages québécois depuis des éons. Les Roches-Plates conservent cette dignité silencieuse des lieux qui ont vu passer les siècles sans jamais perdre leur identité, invitant le passant à observer la lumière changeante qui glisse sur la pierre froide. Ici, la géographie dicte ses propres lois, entre le courant puissant qui forge le rivage et la terre qui s’incline avec une grâce solennelle vers l’infini bleu du grand cours d’eau.
