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-Nicolet.
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-Nicolet is a hamlet in Danville; Les Sources, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petit-Nicolet is located at 45.7958°N, 71.9864°W.
Petit-Nicolet rests within the Colline Elliott, a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest. It lies 4.2 km west-north-west of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 299°T), and is situated 9.6 km south-east of Kingsey Falls. The terrain holds the moisture of the lowlands, where the light at dusk settles heavy and amber against the rising slopes, softening the hard edges of the stone and timber. Lac Perkins sits five kilometers away, its presence felt in the cool, damp air that drifts across the fields, while the distant, rushing sound of Chutes Fontainebleau, located sixteen kilometers off, lingers as a faint hum in the ears of those who pause long enough to listen. The history of Petit-Nicolet reflects the steady labor of those who cleared the timber to make way for the pastures and mills that once defined the local economy. Life here moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest, which has long served as a vital artery for the region’s agricultural character. Small-scale industry and the working land remain central to the identity of the people, who maintain a tradition of self-reliance handed down through generations. The stillness of the early morning often reveals the true character of the place, as the mist clings to the valley floor and the first light catches the frost on the tall, dormant grasses.
Petit-Nicolet s'étire avec une lenteur tranquille le long des rives de la Rivière Nicolet Sud-Ouest, là où le terrain s'incline pour épouser les reliefs de la Colline Elliott. Dans ce coin de Danville, le jour décline en étirant de longues ombres sur les terres agricoles qui ont façonné l'existence des habitants depuis les premiers défrichements, quand le sol exigeait une patience rigoureuse. L'air y est vif, chargé de cette humidité légère qui s'échappe des méandres de la rivière, tandis que le silence, seulement troublé par le murmure constant de l'eau, impose une présence palpable. À quelques lieues de là, les Chutes Fontainebleau sculptent le paysage avec une vigueur minérale, alors que le Lac Perkins garde, dans sa quiétude, le souvenir des cycles naturels immuables. Petit-Nicolet observe ces eaux et ces pentes avec une humilité héritée des bâtisseurs, ces familles qui ont su lire dans la topographie les promesses d'une subsistance humble mais constante. Ici, le rythme quotidien se règle sur la lumière changeante qui glisse sur la Colline Elliott, offrant aux rares visiteurs la vision d'un monde qui refuse la précipitation et privilégie, avec une noblesse discrète, la permanence des éléments naturels et la rectitude des gestes simples.
