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-Chartrand.
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-Chartrand is a hamlet in Laval; Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Plage-Chartrand is located at 45.6633°N, 73.5800°W.
Plage-Chartrand occupies a quiet, lingering stretch of the St. Lawrence, where the edge of the land softens into the river’s persistent pull. It lies 17.3 km north of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 353°T), and is situated 5.3 km south-east of Terrebonne. The air here holds the damp, cool weight of the water, a presence that defines the horizon and turns the evening light into a pale, translucent silver. Nearby, the Coteau de la Pinière rises with a modest, steady grace, providing a silent backdrop to the Rivière Mascouche as it winds its way through the terrain. The landscape carries the stillness of a place defined by its proximity to the current, where the land feels less like a fixed boundary and more like a pause before the water continues its journey toward the sea. The history of Plage-Chartrand reflects the practical, industrious character of those who have long lived within the reach of these waterways. While the local economy has shifted alongside the changing needs of the region, the life of the inhabitants remains attentive to the changing seasons and the shifting moods of the St. Lawrence. Beyond the immediate banks, the geography opens toward the wider region, with Lac Henri situated roughly 9 km away and the preserved natural expanse of Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville similarly distant. These features anchor the identity of the locale, grounding the daily experience of the residents in the physical realities of the earth and the flow of the river that has shaped this corner of Laval for generations.
Plage-Chartrand s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent avec une tranquillité qui semble suspendre le cours des heures, là où le souffle du fleuve rencontre la douceur des terres proches du Coteau de la Pinière. L’air y possède une limpidité particulière, chargée de l’humidité fine qui émane des méandres de la Rivière Mascouche, imprégnant chaque parcelle d’une fraîcheur persistante. À mesure que le jour décline, une lumière ambrée se dépose sur les berges, révélant la texture minérale du rivage et le calme des horizons lointains. Le regard, porté vers l’est, devine la présence du Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville et les eaux plus calmes du Lac Henri, situées à une distance qui préserve le silence de cet espace singulier. Plage-Chartrand conserve ainsi une allure humble, loin du tumulte, portée par le mouvement lent des courants et le murmure des herbes qui bordent le lit des eaux. Les résidents y observent les variations de la marée et les reflets changeants sur les flots, trouvant dans cette proximité immédiate avec les éléments un rythme quotidien apaisé. La géographie singulière de ce secteur, ouverte sur l’immensité fluviale, confère à Plage-Chartrand une identité où la terre et l’eau se répondent dans une harmonie simple, presque secrète, sous un ciel vaste et changeant.
