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 Maltais.
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.

Maltais is a neighbourhood in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Maltais is located at 48.5375°N, 71.6406°W.
Maltais sits quietly along the Côte du Côtoyage, where the land leans toward the cooling currents of the Saguenay River. It lies 1.7 km south-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 145°T), and is situated 7.6 km north of Saint-Bruno. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, especially when the evening light stretches long and thin across the fields, illuminating the textures of the earth in sharp relief. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the landscape opens toward the Petit lac des Harvey, a short five-kilometer distance that invites a slower, more deliberate observation of the woods and water. Further out, the horizon is shaped by the presence of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, located thirty kilometers away, serving as a reminder of the vast, protected stretches that define this corner of the region. The life of Maltais remains bound to the rhythms of the Saguenay River, reflecting a history shaped by the utility and grace of the water. Residents of Maltais engage in a daily existence marked by the straightforward demands of local industry and the quiet persistence of those who live close to the land. Through the changing seasons, the work of the day keeps the spirit of the settlement grounded, favoring practicality over pretense. Whether tending to the land or navigating the local economy, the people maintain a connection to their surroundings that is as steady as the flow of the river itself, finding beauty in the functional simplicity of their daily tasks.
Maltais s'étire avec une simplicité rude sur les rives de la rivière Saguenay, là où le regard se perd dans le mouvement incessant des eaux sombres. À proximité de la Côte du Côtoyage, le terrain semble garder le silence, marqué par une terre qui exige beaucoup de ceux qui la travaillent. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les berges, révélant une topographie où le ciel semble peser de tout son poids sur les étendues sauvages environnantes. À seulement cinq kilomètres, le calme des abords du Petit lac des Harvey offre un contraste serein avec le souffle plus vigoureux de la rivière, tandis que l'horizon, à trente kilomètres de distance, se devine par la présence lointaine du Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon. L’existence à Maltais se définit par cette proximité immédiate avec les éléments, une réalité brute qui façonne le quotidien des résidents. Les activités locales, tournées vers les ressources que la terre et l'eau concèdent avec parcimonie, portent en elles la ténacité des premiers défricheurs. Chaque journée s'écoule dans la répétition des gestes nécessaires, sous un climat qui ne pardonne guère les imprudences, maintenant Maltais dans une solitude noble, loin des agitations urbaines, dans l'immensité silencieuse du paysage boréal.

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.
