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 Pis-Sec.
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.

Pis-Sec is a locality in Petit-Saguenay; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pis-Sec is located at 48.1281°N, 70.0167°W.
Pis-Sec rests quietly among the rugged elevations of Les Plateaux, where the land rises in stubborn ridges above the Rivière Petit Saguenay. It lies 2.9 km south-south-west of Secteur Arcand, QC (from Secteur Arcand, QC: bearing 213°T), and is situated 3.5 km west-north-west of Secteur Baribeau. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that deepens as the light fades, casting long, bruised shadows across the valley floor. Near the water, the terrain is marked by the persistent, rhythmic push of the current, while the nearby Lac Tom offers a still, dark mirror to the surrounding forest. Though the vast expanse of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay lies some distance away, the influence of the greater landscape is felt in the way the wind funnels through the steep, wooded corridors of the river basin. Life in Pis-Sec follows the seasons, shaped by the harsh demands of the northern climate and the quiet persistence of those who call these slopes home. The local economy has long leaned into the rhythms of the land, drawing from the timber and the seasonal bounty found along the Rivière Petit Saguenay. While industry has shifted over the decades, the character of the settlement remains rooted in a steady, self-reliant endurance. On quiet evenings, the sound of the river provides a constant, low-frequency hum that seems to anchor the houses to the hillside, reminding anyone present that the landscape here is not merely a backdrop, but the primary architect of daily life.
Pis-Sec se déploie avec une humilité certaine sur les rives de la Rivière Petit Saguenay, là où le terrain s'élève doucement vers les Plateaux pour offrir un horizon de terre ferme et de boisés denses. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, le Lac Tom recueille les reflets changeants du ciel, agissant comme un miroir silencieux pour une nature qui dicte ici le rythme des jours. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes, transformant les reliefs environnants en masses sombres et rassurantes, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une humidité vivifiante, rappelle la proximité des grands espaces sauvages. Bien que le Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay se situe à vingt-six kilomètres, son influence se fait sentir par une rigueur climatique et une âpreté du paysage qui façonnent la ténacité des habitants. Pis-Sec entretient une relation singulière avec cette topographie exigeante, héritière d'une longue tradition d'exploitation forestière et agricole qui a su apprivoiser l'escarpement. Ici, chaque sentier qui s'enfonce dans le couvert végétal porte la mémoire d'un labeur ancien, une présence humaine discrète mais résiliente qui s'ajuste aux caprices de la Rivière Petit Saguenay. Dans ce repli du monde, la vie se déroule sans artifice, portée par une clarté limpide qui semble suspendre le temps au-dessus des eaux fraîches et des terres rocailleuses.

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.
