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 Picardie.
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.

Picardie is a hamlet in Batiscan; Les Chenaux, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Picardie is located at 46.4650°N, 72.3003°W.
Picardie rests within the quiet reach of the Coteau Normandin, where the land slopes toward the currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 23.0 km north-east of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 54°T), and is situated 15.2 km south-south-west of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade. The Rivière Champlain traces a path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light that settles over the fields at the end of the day. Those who dwell here know the scent of damp earth and the sudden, sharp clarity of the air when the seasons turn. To the north, the landscape holds its breath, distant from the cascading energy of Chutes de la Cheminée, while the quiet expanse of Lac Thibeault sits further removed from the immediate pull of the riverbanks. Picardie maintains a stillness that suggests an older, more deliberate way of moving through the world, where the horizon remains wide and the shadows grow long against the rising ground. The history of Picardie reflects the enduring connection between the people of Batiscan and the fertile, demanding soil of Les Chenaux. Agriculture has long defined the local economy, with generations finding their livelihood in the cultivation of these fields and the management of the surrounding timber. The influence of early settlers persists in the sturdy architecture of the farmsteads, which stand against the weather with a quiet, functional grace. Life in Picardie follows the seasonal shifts of the river, a cycle of work and rest that honors the traditions of the region. Even as modern demands press inward, the character of the inhabitants retains a certain stoicism, an appreciation for the solitude offered by the Coteau Normandin that persists long after the harvest is gathered.
Picardie s'étire avec une patience tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Coteau Normandin dessine une courbe douce vers les eaux profondes. Ce secteur, imprégné par le souffle constant de la Rivière Champlain, garde en mémoire le labeur des anciens qui ont su apprivoiser cette terre fertile pour y planter les racines d'une vie sobre. À quelques lieues de là, la brume matinale se dissipe souvent au-dessus du Lac Thibeault, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de la Cheminée murmure aux oreilles des habitants le rythme ininterrompu d'une nature souveraine. La lumière de fin de journée, en frappant les champs, révèle la texture rugueuse d'un sol façonné par les générations, un terrain où l'effort quotidien finit par se confondre avec l'horizon. Picardie conserve cette allure de sentinelle paisible, veillant sur les méandres qui ont dicté, depuis toujours, le mouvement des hommes et le transport du bois. Entre les ondulations du relief et la présence constante du courant, les habitants cultivent un attachement farouche à ce paysage austère, trouvant dans la clarté du ciel sur le Coteau Normandin une réponse à leurs silences les plus profonds. Ici, chaque saison impose ses exigences, transformant le travail de la terre en une forme de dialogue silencieux avec le cours des eaux.

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.
