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-Normandin.
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-Normandin is a hamlet in Rivière-Héva; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Plage-Normandin is located at 48.2348°N, 78.1483°W.
Plage-Normandin rests along the quiet, steady flow of the Rivière Héva, where the land settles into a low, unassuming horizon shaped by the northern climate. It lies 11.1 km north of Malartic, QC (from Malartic, QC: bearing 352°T), and is situated 10.7 km south-south-west of La Motte. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, especially at dusk when the fading light catches the surface of the Rivière Héva, turning the dark water into a mirror for the shifting clouds. Only four kilometers away, the presence of Lac Malartic shapes the local geography, anchoring the surrounding terrain with its expansive, still reach. Plage-Normandin exists in a space where the earth feels firm and the water defines the edges of the day, offering a grounded perspective to anyone watching the currents move toward the larger basins of the region. The history of Plage-Normandin reflects the broader development of the Abitibi region, where the extraction of mineral wealth has long directed the path of local industry and labor. Life in Plage-Normandin moves in alignment with the demands of a working landscape, where the seasonal cycles dictate the pace of activity and the maintenance of the land. The proximity to the Rivière Héva provides more than just a geographic marker; it serves as a constant, fluid reminder of the natural corridors that once guided early movement through the woods. Residents carry on with a focused diligence, finding a particular beauty in the stark, functional architecture that stands against the backdrop of the boreal wilderness.
Plage-Normandin s’étire le long des rives de la Rivière Héva, où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s’attarder sur l’eau sombre avec une lenteur presque suspendue. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Malartic impose sa présence silencieuse, façonnant l’horizon par ses eaux calmes qui aspirent les derniers éclats du jour. Dans cette partie de La Vallée-de-l'Or, le terrain porte la marque d'un sol nourricier, façonné par les efforts de ceux qui ont défriché ces terres pour y établir une vie austère et droite. L’air y est vif, chargé d’une humidité terreuse qui rappelle la proximité immédiate de la Rivière Héva et l’étendue des forêts avoisinantes. Plage-Normandin conserve une allure discrète, presque secrète, loin du tumulte des grandes routes, offrant aux rares visiteurs la sensation d'un monde qui ne demande rien d'autre que d'être contemplé dans sa vérité nue. Les traditions y survivent dans la répétition des gestes quotidiens, un héritage de patience hérité des pionniers qui ont su apprivoiser ce relief plat, où le ciel occupe une place démesurée. Ici, chaque saison modifie la couleur des herbes et la texture des rives, offrant une solitude sereine que seule la Rivière Héva semble rompre par son murmure incessant contre les berges.
