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 Vétérans.
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 Vétérans is a neighbourhood in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Vétérans is located at 48.5344°N, 71.6708°W.
Les Vététans occupies a quiet stretch of land near the Côte du Côtoyage, where the presence of the Saguenay River defines the slow, steady pulse of the horizon. It lies 2.1 km south-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 217°T), and is situated 15.5 km north of Hébertville. The water here holds a particular clarity, reflecting the sky with a mirror-like stillness that seems to suspend the world in a perpetual, hushed amber at dusk. While the rugged expanse of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon sits some distance away, the immediate surroundings of Les Vététans maintain a more intimate scale, defined by the modest, hidden waters of Petit lac des Harvey located four kilometers to the south. The earth here feels solid and deliberate, absorbing the seasonal shifts with a stoic grace that keeps the landscape grounded beneath wide, open heavens. Life in Les Vététans carries the quiet weight of industry and the practical habits of a population long accustomed to the rhythms of the Saguenay River. The economy remains rooted in a pragmatic approach to the land, where the daily activities of the residents mirror the endurance of the terrain itself. There is a distinct, unadorned beauty in the way the local light catches the edges of the fields during the harvest, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the utility of the open spaces. Though the pace of life remains steady, the connection between the people and the land is constant, grounded in a shared history that values resilience over spectacle. This particular corner of Alma operates with a sense of purpose, finding its character in the simple, honest labor that defines the passage of a standard day.
Les Vétérans déploie sa présence singulière sur les rives de la rivière Saguenay, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder sur les eaux sombres avec une langueur presque charnelle. À proximité immédiate de la Côte du Côtoyage, le terrain s'élève en pentes douces, offrant une vue imprenable sur l'immensité liquide qui façonne l'économie et le rythme des jours. Le paysage se décline en une quiétude minérale, ponctuée par la silhouette familière des embarcations qui rappellent l'attachement viscéral des habitants à ce cours d'eau majestueux. À quelques lieues, le Petit lac des Harvey offre une respiration plus intime, tandis que l'horizon s'ouvre vers le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, dont la masse boisée dessine une frontière naturelle contre les vents du nord. Dans le silence des après-midis, Les Vétérans conserve une élégance discrète, celle des lieux qui n'ont nul besoin de s'agiter pour exister pleinement. L'air y est vif, chargé des effluves de la forêt boréale et de la fraîcheur constante de la rivière Saguenay, créant une atmosphère où la mémoire des anciens se mêle à la vitalité des familles établies sur ces terres depuis des générations. Ici, chaque soir apporte une nuance nouvelle aux reflets de la rive, invitant à la contemplation paisible de ce territoire humble mais profondément vivant.
