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 Petite-Rivière.
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.

Petite-Rivière is a village in Petite-Rivière-Saint-François; Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Petite-Rivière is located at 47.3019°N, 70.5700°W.
Petite-Rivière rests where the steep, forested slopes of the Charlevoix region meet the wide, grey expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 16.1 km south-south-west of Baie-Saint-Paul, QC (from Baie-Saint-Paul, QC: bearing 196°T), and is situated 30.6 km north-north-west of Cap-Saint-Ignace. The land here leans toward the water, shaped by the presence of the Petite butte Ronde, which stands as a silent sentinel over the coastal shelf. Along the Petite rivière Saint-François, the air holds a persistent chill, carrying the scent of salt and damp earth that clings to the shoreline even on the clearest afternoons. Near the water, the light at dusk flattens against the surface of the St. Lawrence, turning the river into a sheet of hammered silver before the darkness settles into the hollows of the hills. The history of Petite-Rivière is marked by a long, quiet association with the timber trade and the seasonal shifts of the river, which dictated the movement of goods and the lives of those who settled here. Inland, the landscape holds the Petit lac à Bergeron, a hidden pocket of stillness tucked about 5 km away from the main coastal thoroughfare. Daily life in Petite-Rivière moves with the tide and the turning of the seasons, as the residents navigate the sharp incline between the river’s edge and the higher ground. The economy, once rooted in the extraction and transport of resources, now reflects a steady, deliberate pace, where the sound of the wind through the trees often outlasts the noise of human industry.
Petite-Rivière s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent avec une patience héritée des anciens navigateurs et des défricheurs qui ont appris à lire la pente abrupte des terres. Entre la masse imposante de Petite butte Ronde et le tracé sinueux de Petite rivière Saint-François, le terrain descend vers l’eau dans un mouvement qui semble vouloir s’y jeter, offrant aux habitants une vue frontale sur les marées et les passages des grands navires. L’air y possède cette texture vive, chargée de sel et de froid, qui sculpte les visages et exige une attention constante envers les caprices du relief. À quelques kilomètres, le Petit lac à Bergeron dort dans un repli du paysage, offrant un contraste de quiétude face à l’immensité maritime qui dicte le rythme quotidien. L’économie locale, autrefois liée à l’exploitation du bois et à une agriculture de subsistance acharnée, a su transmuter ses efforts pour accueillir ceux qui cherchent la mesure exacte de l’horizon. Petite-Rivière maintient cette rigueur, cette manière de vivre sans détour où chaque maison, perchée sur le versant, semble veiller sur le passage du fleuve sous la lumière changeante du crépuscule. Ici, le ciel se confond avec l’eau dans une clarté presque minérale, affirmant la présence indomptable de ce rivage qui ne cesse jamais de se redéfinir.

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.
