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 Montaigu.
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.

Montaigu is a locality in Saint-Jean-de-l'Île-d'Orléans; L'Île-d'Orléans, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Montaigu is located at 46.9422°N, 70.8756°W.
Montaigu holds a quiet vigil where the land meets the St. Lawrence, its character defined by the sharp, imposing heights of the Les Caps that rise against the northern horizon. It lies 9.9 km south-east of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC (from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC: bearing 146°T), and is situated 11.2 km south of Beaupré. The air here carries a persistent, saline clarity, sharpened by the nearby flow of the Rivière Dauphine as it carves its way toward the larger tide. Light at dusk settles over the fields in long, bruised purples, catching the edges of the salt-grass until the entire shoreline seems to shimmer with a cold, metallic luster. Though the landscape feels anchored in its ancient geology, the presence of the water provides a constant, shifting restlessness that pulls the eye toward the horizon, far beyond the hidden reach of Lac aux Canards or the distant, rhythmic tumble of Chutes du Sault à la Puce. The history of Montaigu exists in the slow accumulation of agricultural persistence, where generations have leaned into the island soil to coax a living from the earth. Life here follows the cycle of the seasons, dictated by the turning of the tides and the long, silver winters that wrap the island in a stillness so deep it feels absolute. Local commerce remains tied to the harvest and the small, deliberate crafts that define the island’s identity, favoring a deliberate, exacting pace over the haste of the mainland. Within the boundaries of Saint-Jean-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, the people maintain a legacy of self-reliance, finding beauty in the austere lines of the architecture and the way the wind hums through the orchard rows. Even as the modern world encroaches, Montaigu retains an internal gravity, a stubborn adherence to a way of life that values the weight of the harvest and the quiet dignity of a day well spent under the expansive, northern sky.
Montaigu s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve élargit son souffle face à la masse imposante des Caps. Dans ce pays de terre noire et de vents salins, la Rivière Dauphine serpente avec une régularité ancienne, irriguant les lopins où le travail des mains a façonné une identité forte, héritière d’une longue obstination agricole. L’air y possède une texture dense, chargée d’humidité et de sel, surtout lorsque le crépuscule dépose une lumière bleutée sur les berges, transformant les grèves en miroirs ternes. À quelques lieues de là, les Chutes du Sault à la Puce déversent leur fracas dans une solitude forestière, tandis que le Lac aux Canards, plus lointain, maintient sa quiétude dans le repli des terres. Les maisons de Montaigu, aux toitures inclinées pour défier les hivers, observent le passage des marées avec une politesse silencieuse, une manière bien à elles de reconnaître la puissance des eaux. Ici, le quotidien se mesure à l’inclinaison du soleil et au passage des saisons qui modifient la couleur des champs en pente douce vers le chenal. La vie s’y déploie dans une simplicité rigoureuse, portée par le souvenir des ancêtres qui ont su lire, dans les courants et la terre, la promesse d’une subsistance durable.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
