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 Marchand.
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.

Marchand is a locality in Trois-Rivières; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Marchand is located at 46.4103°N, 72.6983°W.
Marchand holds a quiet vigil along the winding course of the Rivière Saint-Maurice, where the land rises to meet the rugged silhouette of La Petite Montagne. It lies 14.0 km west-north-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 302°T), and is situated 15.0 km south-south-east of Shawinigan. The atmosphere here carries the bracing scent of deep water and damp earth, especially at dusk when the fading light turns the surface of Lac du Repos into a dark, polished mirror. Sunlight catches the edges of the terrain, highlighting the subtle shifts in elevation that define the character of the shore. The stillness of the water creates a sanctuary for the senses, grounding the observer in a landscape that feels both immense and intimately held by the surrounding geography. History clings to the banks of the Rivière Saint-Maurice, reflecting the industrial legacy that once powered the region’s growth. While the thunderous, distant roar of the Chutes de Shawinigan echoes the power of the river, Marchand maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life that persists beyond the reach of industrial noise. The local economy finds its footing in the interaction between the land and the water, drawing upon a tradition of resourcefulness that has long defined those who live near these currents. People move through their days with a pragmatism inherited from the generations who shaped the local industry, finding beauty in the stark, functional architecture that stands against the backdrop of the hills.
Marchand s’étire lentement sur les rives de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant que l’eau ne poursuive sa course vers le sud. À proximité de La Petite Montagne, le relief dessine une frontière naturelle qui protège les habitations des vents dominants, offrant une quiétude que seul le murmure du courant vient troubler. Le Lac du Repos, situé à portée de main, miroite sous le soleil déclinant, renvoyant une lumière dorée qui transforme le quotidien des travailleurs en une suite de gestes mesurés, hérités d’une époque où la foresterie dictait le rythme des jours. À quelques kilomètres de là, la puissance grondante des Chutes de Shawinigan rappelle la force brute qui a façonné l’essor industriel de toute la Mauricie. Les résidents de Marchand cultivent une existence simple, marquée par une fierté discrète qui se lit sur les façades modestes et dans la manière dont chacun salue son voisin au passage. Ici, l’histoire ne se raconte pas dans les livres, elle se devine dans la texture rugueuse du bois et le calme minéral qui entoure les foyers, tandis que le crépuscule installe une ombre bleutée sur les berges, invitant le silence à clore une journée de labeur sous le ciel immense du Québec.
