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 Plage-Carcajou.
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.

Plage-Carcajou is a resort in Pontiac; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Plage-Carcajou is located at 45.5320°N, 76.1151°W.
Plage-Carcajou rests against the rugged base of the Escarpement d'Eardley, where the land rises sharply to meet the sky. It lies 21.8 km east-north-east of Arnprior, QC (from Arnprior, QC: bearing 60°T), and is situated 13.6 km south-south-west of La Pêche. The soil here holds the chill of the Canadian Shield, supporting a dense, quiet growth that seems to lean inward toward the cliffs. As evening approaches, the light catches the uneven texture of the granite, turning the rock face a bruised, metallic purple that lingers long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The air carries a sharp, clean clarity, smelling of damp stone and the deep, resinous weight of pine. The character of Plage-Carcajou remains tied to a heritage of working the land, where the persistence of the early settlers still marks the rhythm of the seasons. While the Rivière Quyon winds through the lower reaches some 9 km away and the quiet waters of Lac au Foin sit 6 km distant, the focus of life here stays centered on the immediate, stubborn reality of the escarpment. Local industry reflects this geography, favoring small-scale endeavors that respect the steep, demanding terrain. People move through their days with a deliberate economy of motion, mirroring the stoic endurance of the cliffs that provide both a backdrop and a boundary for their lives.
Plage-Carcajou s'étire le long des rives avec une langueur mélancolique, là où la terre semble s'abandonner à la lumière changeante du crépuscule. Dominé par la masse imposante de l’Escarpement d'Eardley, le relief impose une verticalité austère qui contraste avec la douceur du sable fin. Le murmure de la Rivière Quyon, serpentant à neuf kilomètres de là, porte en lui une fraîcheur ancienne, tandis que les eaux tranquilles du Lac au Foin, situé à six kilomètres, conservent le silence des matins brumeux. Les terres environnantes portent encore les traces d'une vocation agricole façonnée par les familles pionnières, dont la ténacité a su dompter ce sol exigeant entre les collines et les vastes étendues. Plage-Carcajou demeure un espace de contemplation où le ciel se confond avec les replis du terrain, offrant une solitude paisible aux rares voyageurs qui s'aventurent dans ces replis du Pontiac. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée de l'odeur des pins et de l'humidité des terres basses, invitant à une lenteur que le tumulte moderne ignore. La présence de l'Escarpement d'Eardley veille comme un gardien immuable sur ce rivage, structurant l'horizon et rappelant la permanence d'une nature sauvage qui, malgré les siècles, conserve intacte sa poésie secrète.

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.
