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 Perthuis.
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.

Perthuis is a locality in Rivière-à-Pierre; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Perthuis is located at 46.9311°N, 72.1228°W.
Perthuis sits quietly within the rugged embrace of the Canadian Shield, a landscape defined by the imposing presence of the Montagne à Jeannot. It lies 41.1 km north-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 315°T), and is situated 28.4 km north-north-west of Saint-Marc-des-Carrières. The air here holds a crisp, mineral clarity, cooling quickly as shadows lengthen against the granite slopes that define the horizon. Just a kilometer away, the stillness of Lac Bégin reflects the changing sky, offering a mirror to the dense forests that press close to the settlement. While the Rivière à Pierre flows through the broader reaches of the region some seven kilometers distant, the immediate terrain around Perthuis feels tucked away, sheltered by the ancient, weathered stone that anchors the land. The life of Perthuis carries the weight of a long relationship with the earth, shaped by the extraction of stone and the persistence of those who worked the quarries. This industry once defined the local economy, leaving behind a legacy of hard-won skill that lingers in the pride of the residents. Beyond the daily tasks, the proximity to the Chutes de la Marmite provides a natural landmark that draws the eye toward the power of moving water, a stark contrast to the quietude of the surrounding hills. People in Perthuis move with a deliberate, steady intention, rooted in a history where the strength of the mountains dictated the pace of the day.
Perthuis s’étire avec une humilité minérale sous la garde vigilante de la Montagne à Jeannot, où la lumière du crépuscule semble suspendre le souffle des forêts laurentiennes. À peine à un kilomètre, les eaux calmes du Lac Bégin captent les reflets changeants du ciel, offrant un silence que seule la course vive de La Rivière à Pierre, distante de sept kilomètres, vient ponctuer de son murmure constant. Le relief accidenté rappelle la rigueur des bâtisseurs qui ont façonné ce territoire, tirant de la pierre et du bois une existence austère mais fière. Non loin, les Chutes de la Marmite creusent leur sillon dans le roc, rappelant la puissance brute d’une nature que les habitants de Perthuis ont apprivoisée par le labeur quotidien. Ici, le vent transporte une fraîcheur boisée qui ravive les mémoires, liant les gestes d’hier à la persistance du présent. La terre, nourrie par les hivers longs, impose son rythme aux hommes, façonnant un caractère aussi solide que les affleurements de granit qui parsèment le paysage. Chaque sentier, chaque recoin de cette contrée sauvage raconte une patience héritée, une façon d’habiter le monde en observant simplement les ombres s’allonger sur les pentes de la Montagne à Jeannot.

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.
