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-Orange.
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-Orange is a hamlet in Rivière-Héva; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Plage-Orange is located at 48.2328°N, 78.1390°W.
Plage-Orange rests quietly along the banks of the Rivière Héva, where the low light of the afternoon settles against the reeds in shades of muted amber and bruised gold. It lies 10.8 km north of Malartic, QC (from Malartic, QC: bearing 355°T), and is situated 10.8 km south-south-west of La Motte. The water of the Rivière Héva moves with a deliberate, dark clarity, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine needles toward the wider reaches of the region. Only four kilometers away, the presence of Lac Malartic exerts a gravitational pull on the horizon, grounding the surrounding terrain in a stillness that feels both ancient and expectant. Here, the air holds a crisp, northern weight, and the horizon line remains unbroken, defined by the dense, persistent reach of boreal growth that clings to the river’s edge. Even as the sun slips behind the distant tree line, the surface of the river retains a mirror-like intensity, reflecting the quiet transition of a landscape that has long observed the passage of the seasons without hurry. The history of Plage-Orange lingers in the quiet persistence of those who live near the Rivière Héva, where the economy remains tied to the land’s raw, primary offerings. Industry in this corner of La Vallée-de-l'Or has historically looked toward the earth and the timber, drawing sustenance from the same mineral-rich ground that characterizes much of the Abitibi territory. While the pace of modern life hums in the distance, Plage-Orange maintains a character defined by the cyclical nature of the river and the seasonal demands of the woods. Local traditions here are rarely spoken aloud, manifesting instead in the way residents prepare for the deep, encroaching cold or the sudden, verdant explosion of the short summer. This is a landscape that demands a certain level of self-reliance, where the daily routine is dictated by the rising of the water and the shifting intensity of the light across the open fields.
Plage-Orange déploie ses rives sablonneuses sur le parcours calme de la Rivière Héva, là où la terre de la Vallée-de-l'Or semble retenir son souffle sous la lumière oblique des fins de journée. Dans ce silence particulier, l'eau sombre de la rivière charrie les souvenirs d'une activité humaine industrieuse, façonnée par la rigueur du terrain et la proximité des grands espaces miniers qui marquent l'identité profonde de la région. À une courte distance de quatre kilomètres, le Lac Malartic étend son immensité sereine, exerçant une influence apaisante sur le climat local tout en rappelant la puissance ancienne des eaux qui structurent le relief. Plage-Orange conserve une allure discrète, presque confidentielle, où les maisons s'alignent avec une simplicité qui honore la rudesse des hivers et la brièveté des étés boréaux. Les résidents y perçoivent les variations de l'air avec une acuité singulière, guettant les changements de vent qui descendent des plaines boisées pour venir effleurer la surface de la Rivière Héva. Ce cadre offre une existence modeste, rythmée par la patience des travaux de la terre et le calme immuable des rivages, loin du tumulte des grands centres, dans une contemplation naturelle du territoire.
