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 Petit-Bégin.
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.

Petit-Bégin is a hamlet in Bégin; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petit-Bégin is located at 48.6469°N, 71.3697°W.
Petit-Bégin occupies a quiet, rugged corner of the landscape where the land yields to the persistent influence of the Rivière des Aulnaies. It lies 23.5 km east-north-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 62°T), and is situated 11.1 km north-north-west of Saint-Ambroise. The air here holds a crisp, northern clarity, particularly near the Côte des Blanchet, where the light at dusk settles in long, bruised purples over the rising terrain. Just a kilometer away, the surface of Lac à Georges reflects the sky with a mirror-like stillness, anchoring the immediate geography in a profound, watery silence. Within Petit-Bégin, the local economy has long been shaped by the stubborn demands of the soil and the seasonal shifts of the boreal climate. Families here maintain a measured pace of life, reflecting a resilience born from generations of working the land and navigating the nearby waterways. The presence of the Rivière des Aulnaies provides a constant, low murmur, a steady backdrop to the daily chores that define the character of the people who call Petit-Bégin home.
Petit-Bégin déploie ses terres à proximité de Côte des Blanchet, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur presque suspendue sur les rives de la Rivière des Aulnaies. Dans ce secteur du Fjord-du-Saguenay, le sol garde le souvenir d’un labeur agricole obstiné, façonnant un relief où le silence des champs répond à la présence proche du Lac à Georges, étendu à une distance d’environ un kilomètre. L’air y possède cette densité fraîche qui précède les soirées d’été, lorsque les ombres s’allongent sur les labours et que la terre libère une chaleur encore vive. Petit-Bégin semble exister en dehors des tumultes, protégé par une topographie modeste mais intime, marquée par le passage discret de la Rivière des Aulnaies qui sculpte son chemin à travers les parcelles cultivées. Les habitants perpétuent ici une relation étroite avec le rythme des récoltes et la rigueur du climat, trouvant dans l’isolement relatif de ce cadre une liberté simple. Entre les courbes douces du terrain et la proximité des eaux calmes, le paysage conserve une allure austère, dénuée d’artifices, offrant à celui qui s’y attarde une tranquillité qui ne se livre qu’à la patience du regard.
