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 Point-du-Jour.
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.

Point-du-Jour is a hamlet in Saint-Hyacinthe; Les Maskoutains, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Point-du-Jour is located at 45.6856°N, 72.9903°W.
Point-du-Jour rests quietly where the land begins to rise toward the Coteau de Salvail, marked by the steady, persistent presence of the Rivière Yamaska. It lies 7.5 km north-north-west of Saint-Hyacinthe, QC (from Saint-Hyacinthe, QC: bearing 333°T), and is situated 5.2 km east-north-east of La Présentation. The light at dusk here catches the moisture rising from the Rivière Yamaska, turning the fields into a muted palette of slate and silver that lingers long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The terrain maintains a steady, functional character, reflecting the agricultural heritage of Les Maskoutains where the soil dictates the pace of the seasons. While the distant Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno sits thirty kilometers away, Point-du-Jour holds its own gravity, defined by the slow, deliberate movement of the water and the way the wind carries the scent of damp earth across the open flats. History in Point-du-Jour is found in the simple geometry of the land and the endurance of those who have worked these fields for generations. The local economy persists through a quiet commitment to the land, mirroring the broader industrial and agricultural identity of the region. Life here moves with a certain clarity, grounded in the seasonal cycles of the Rivière Yamaska and the pragmatic needs of the surrounding farms. Even the architecture of the nearby barns and dwellings seems to acknowledge the strength of the Coteau de Salvail, standing firm against the wide, unobstructed sky as the day settles into its final, cool stillness.
Point-du-Jour s’éveille sous une lumière dorée qui semble suspendre le cours des heures le long des rives de la Rivière Yamaska. Dans ce plat pays des Maskoutains, la terre fertile porte le souvenir des labeurs agricoles qui ont façonné l’horizon, où les champs s'étendent avec une patience minérale jusqu'aux limites du Coteau de Salvail. L'air y possède une limpidité particulière, chargée de l'humidité douce que le courant entraîne vers l'aval, offrant une clarté presque tangible à chaque rangée de cultures. Alors que le crépuscule décline, le ciel se teinte de nuances tendres, révélant la silhouette paisible de Point-du-Jour qui se mire dans les eaux calmes de la rivière. À une trentaine de kilomètres, la présence imposante du Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno module la perspective lointaine, rappelant la stature des reliefs qui encadrent cette plaine généreuse. Ici, la vie suit un rythme lent, dicté par la nature des sols et le souffle constant qui balaie les espaces dégagés. Les habitants cultivent une existence sobre, liée aux traditions de la terre et à la présence séculaire de ce cours d'eau qui demeure le témoin silencieux de leur persévérance dans cet espace ouvert aux quatre vents.
