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 Loretteville.
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.

Loretteville is a administrative sector in Québec; Capitale-Nationale, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Loretteville is located at 46.8486°N, 71.3667°W.
Loretteville rests upon the earth near the La Butte Rouge, where the steady movement of the Rivière Nelson defines the local horizon. It lies 10.1 km north of Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC (from Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC: bearing 355°T), and is situated 12.7 km west-north-west of Québec. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the surrounding pines, especially as the late afternoon light turns the water of the Rivière Nelson into a ribbon of hammered silver. Nearby, the quiet waters of Lac à Grenouilles sit tucked away as if in a private contemplation, while the distant, thundering presence of Chutes de la Chaudière provides a reminder of the wilder currents carving through the broader landscape. The terrain possesses a grounded, sturdy quality, reflecting a northern climate that demands resilience from both the land and those who settle upon it. The history of Loretteville stays deeply connected to the presence of the Huron-Wendat people, whose enduring heritage informs the cultural character of the region. Historically, the local economy thrived on the strength of its tanneries and the industrious use of the river, which powered the wheels of early trade and shaped the growth of the settlement. Today, the pace of life maintains a sensible, practical focus, balancing modern expectations with the quiet legacy of its industrious past. Walking the streets, one notices how the architecture mirrors the surrounding slopes, with houses built to withstand the long winters and capture the low, golden sun. Loretteville continues to function as a point of connection within the Capitale-Nationale, holding its own distinct identity against the backdrop of the shifting seasons.
Loretteville déploie ses toits sous une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le souffle des heures, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers les rives de la Rivière Nelson. À proximité de La Butte Rouge, le terrain conserve une mémoire ancienne, nourrie par les eaux vives qui ont façonné l'essor industriel des tanneries et des manufactures de cuir, transformant autrefois le labeur en une prospérité singulière. Le Lac à Grenouilles, situé à quelques kilomètres, offre un silence minéral aux promeneurs, tandis que l'air charrie parfois le murmure lointain, presque imperceptible, de l'humidité soulevée par les Chutes de la Chaudière, distantes de seize kilomètres. Loretteville maintient un équilibre entre son héritage artisanal et la modernité, les façades gardant une dignité sobre sous le ciel changeant de la Capitale-Nationale. Les rues suivent une topographie exigeante, rappelant aux habitants la rudesse nécessaire à l'établissement des premières concessions sur ces terres fertiles. Chaque sentier, chaque courbe du sol raconte une persévérance silencieuse, une volonté de bâtir une existence durable parmi les reliefs. Dans le calme des soirées, le fracas lointain des eaux et le vent qui balaie La Butte Rouge rappellent la force indomptable de ce territoire québécois, façonnant une identité locale qui refuse de s'effacer devant le passage inexorable du monde moderne.
