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 Place-Alexandre.
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.

Place-Alexandre is a residential area in Trois-Rivières; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Place-Alexandre is located at 46.3050°N, 72.5969°W.
Place-Alexandre rests upon the low-lying reaches near the St. Lawrence, where the earth holds the damp, cooling weight of the great river’s influence. It lies 5.9 km south-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 224°T), and is situated 8.9 km north of Nicolet. The land here slopes toward the Rivière Millette, a quiet artery that carves through the terrain, while the nearby Plateau Laval rises with a steady, deliberate presence. As the light fades at dusk, a silver clarity settles over the water, turning the surface into a mirror for the shifting clouds. Beyond the immediate banks, the landscape remains marked by the proximity of Lac Marc-Hélène, which sits about 6 km away, anchoring the horizon in a stillness that persists even as the day’s work concludes. The history of Place-Alexandre reflects the persistent labor of those who settled along these waterways, turning the fertile ground into a site of sustained industrial and domestic activity. Residents move through their days with a focus on the practical, whether tending to the local economy or traversing the familiar paths that trace the Rivière Millette. The air often carries the crisp, clean scent of the St. Lawrence, a reminder of the currents that have shaped the development of the region over generations. Within the quiet corners of the neighborhood, the collective memory of the people finds expression in the preservation of traditional routines, ensuring that the character of Place-Alexandre remains distinct and rooted in its specific, water-bound geography.
Place-Alexandre déploie ses façades sur les rives apaisées du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du fleuve rencontre la terre ferme dans une humeur changeante. À proximité du Plateau Laval, le terrain s'incline doucement vers le tracé sinueux de la Rivière Millette, dont les eaux charrient les reflets cuivrés des derniers feux du jour. L'air y possède cette densité particulière des zones riveraines, une fraîcheur humide qui semble suspendre le mouvement des arbres et le murmure des habitants vaquant à leurs occupations. À environ six kilomètres, le Lac Marc-Hélène conserve son silence minéral, observant depuis son retrait la lente activité des chantiers et des structures qui ont jadis façonné l'économie locale. L'histoire de Place-Alexandre demeure lisible dans la disposition rigoureuse de ses voies et la persistance de certaines traditions agricoles qui, malgré la modernité, colorent encore la vie quotidienne d'une teinte de labeur ancien. Les nuances du crépuscule s'attardent sur le rivage, enveloppant les quais et les bâtiments d'une clarté déclinante qui transforme chaque structure en une silhouette familière. Sous cette lumière, la topographie se fait plus intime, révélant la texture d'un sol façonné par les alluvions et la patience de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence dans cet interstice entre la terre et le courant majestueux.

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.
