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-Richard.
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-Richard is a resort in Oka; Deux-Montagnes, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Plage-Richard is located at 45.4867°N, 74.1325°W.
Plage-Richard rests along the quiet, expansive edge where the land softens into the shore of Lac des Deux Montagnes. It lies 1.3 km west-north-west of Kanesatake, QC (from Kanesatake, QC: bearing 287°T), and is situated 4.5 km north-west of Oka. The Rivière Viviry snakes toward this meeting of water and earth, carrying the subtle silt of the Mont Bleu through a terrain defined by the slow pull of the tide and the shift of the seasons. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the lake in thin, metallic ribbons, turning the reeds into dark silhouettes against an indigo sky. Plage-Richard maintains a modest presence, a place where the air holds the damp, cool scent of the riverbed and the expansive horizon of the lake dictates the tempo of the day. The history of Plage-Richard is anchored in the steady, agrarian traditions of the region, where the proximity to the water has long influenced the movement of goods and the habits of those who dwell nearby. While the bustling trails of Parc national d'Oka lie only 8 km away, Plage-Richard retains a singular, localized stillness, focused on the immediate interplay between the forest slopes of the Mont Bleu and the currents of the Rivière Viviry. The local economy persists in a quiet alignment with these natural features, favoring a life that moves in sync with the changing water levels and the seasonal arrival of migratory birds. Even in the height of summer, the atmosphere here remains contemplative, defined by the persistent sound of water brushing against the shore and the heavy, fertile smell of the damp soil that characterizes this stretch of the coast.
Plage-Richard s'étire avec une simplicité tranquille le long des rives du Lac des Deux Montagnes, là où le relief du Mont Bleu oriente le regard vers des horizons chargés d'histoire. L'air y possède une texture particulière, portée par la fraîcheur humide de la Rivière Viviry qui serpente doucement à travers le terrain avant de rejoindre les eaux plus vastes. Ce secteur, façonné par des générations liées à la terre et à l'eau, conserve une atmosphère de quiétude que les résidents apprécient dès les premières lueurs du jour. À quelques kilomètres, le Parc national d'Oka étend son influence sur le paysage environnant, offrant une respiration sauvage à proximité immédiate. Les teintes du crépuscule viennent souvent baigner les berges de Plage-Richard d'une lumière dorée, soulignant la rudesse élégante du sol et la persistance des traditions agricoles qui ont longtemps défini le rythme des travaux locaux. Les habitants observent le passage des courants avec une attention silencieuse, respectant cet équilibre fragile entre le développement et la préservation naturelle. Entre les ondulations du terrain et le clapotis constant sur les galets, chaque détail de ce cadre géographique raconte une existence rythmée par la présence constante de l'eau et la proximité protectrice des hauteurs boisées.
