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 Perron.
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.

Perron is a hamlet in Val-d'Or; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Perron is located at 48.1614°N, 77.5506°W.
Perron sits amidst the dense, enduring boreal expanse of Quebec, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the Canadian Shield. It lies 18.9 km east-north-east of Val-d'Or, QC (from Val-d'Or, QC: bearing 69°T), and is situated 31.5 km south-south-east of Barraute. Lac Larder rests nearby, its surface often mirroring the heavy, slate-colored clouds that drift across the northern horizon, while the Rivière Colombière winds through the lower terrain some distance away. In the soft light of dusk, the shadows lengthen across the low-lying spruce and pine, casting a cool, indigo stillness over the earth. The air here carries a crisp, metallic edge, a reminder of the vast, unpeopled spaces that press against the edges of the settlement. The history of Perron is anchored firmly in the rigorous labor of the mining industry that once defined the aspirations of La Vallée-de-l'Or. Men carved their livelihoods from the stubborn rock, leaving behind a legacy of hard-won extraction that continues to shape the character of the region. Today, the pace of life in Perron reflects a certain stoic resilience, where the daily routines of the inhabitants mirror the persistence of the forest itself. The echoes of past industry remain present in the landscape, a reminder of the grit required to build a life in such a solitary, demanding environment.
Perron s'étire sur les terres généreuses de la Vallée-de-l'Or, là où le sol garde encore la mémoire des veines aurifères qui ont dicté son destin industriel et façonné son architecture de bois et de labeur. À l'approche du soir, la lumière oblique caresse les fronts des maisons avec une douceur mélancolique, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une fraîcheur forestière, descend vers le Lac Larder situé à quelques kilomètres. La présence de la Rivière Colombière, serpentant dans les environs, apporte une respiration constante au paysage, modulant le silence des bois par le murmure de son courant imperturbable. Perron conserve l'allure d'un récit que l'on se transmet à voix basse, une suite de gestes quotidiens hérités des bâtisseurs qui ont extrait la richesse des profondeurs du sous-sol québécois. Ici, la rigueur du climat forge une solidarité silencieuse entre les habitants, une patience apprise auprès des grands arbres et de la terre minérale. Dans ce cadre où la nature reprend toujours ses droits sur les traces humaines, le passage des heures semble se mesurer au mouvement des ombres sur les façades, offrant à Perron une existence suspendue, loin de l'agitation, tournée vers la sérénité des eaux calmes et la vaste étendue du ciel boréal.
