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-des-Sources.
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-des-Sources is a residential area in Portneuf; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Place-des-Sources is located at 46.7033°N, 71.8775°W.
Place-des-Sources occupies a quiet fold of the Coteau à Jess, where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence. It lies 11.2 km west-north-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 288°T), and is situated 15.1 km west-south-west of Pont-Rouge. The air here holds the damp, cool scent of the Rivière Portneuf, which carves its way through the terrain with a persistent, low murmur that defines the waking hours of the day. To the southwest, the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon preserves a dense stretch of shoreline, while further inland, the stillness of Lac Rosa and the hidden drop of Chutes à Gorry mark the wilder edges of the horizon. As evening nears, the light softens against the slopes, turning the heavy greens of the foliage into deep, bruised purples that seem to settle into the earth itself. The history of Place-des-Sources is tied to the movement of water and the stubborn resolve of those who first cleared the banks of the Rivière Portneuf. Life in this sector follows the demands of the seasons, leaning on a local economy that respects the cycles of the timber and the soil. Residents navigate their days with a steady focus, their traditions anchored by the proximity of the St. Lawrence and the quietude of the surrounding woods. Whether one is passing the sheltered expanse of the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon or venturing toward the distant spray of Chutes à Gorry, the character of the region remains defined by a singular, watchful patience.
Place-des-Sources s'étire avec une tranquille obstination sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Coteau à Jess domine les eaux vastes et froides qui charrient les souvenirs du continent. Dans ce repli de la géographie portneuvoise, le murmure de la Rivière Portneuf accompagne le quotidien des habitants, une présence fluide qui sculpte les berges et dicte la lenteur des jours. À quelques lieues de là, la Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon préserve un silence souverain, tandis que les eaux plus lointaines du Lac Rosa et la chute vigoureuse des Chutes à Gorry dessinent les limites d'un horizon sauvage, presque invisible sous la brume matinale. La lumière, lorsqu'elle décline, semble s'attarder sur les terres agricoles et les quelques structures industrielles qui rappellent une vocation laborieuse, façonnée par la rigueur du climat et la rudesse du sol. En ces terres, Place-des-Sources maintient une identité discrète, portée par le souffle du fleuve et le rythme immuable des courants qui se croisent sous un ciel souvent gris, vaste et indifférent. Les résidents y habitent une sérénité particulière, nourrie par cette proximité avec des éléments naturels dont la permanence apaise les agitations de l'existence moderne, transformant chaque crépuscule en une méditation lente sur la durée des choses.
