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 Pointe-Biron.
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.

Pointe-Biron is a residential area in Sainte-Barbe; Le Haut-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pointe-Biron is located at 45.1758°N, 74.2444°W.
Pointe-Biron rests quietly along the edge of Lake St. Francis, where the land holds the steady, low-slung weight of the Coteau de la Rivière La Guerre. It lies 12.5 km south-west of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC (from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QC: bearing 225°T), and is situated 14.0 km south-south-west of Coteau-du-Lac. The air here carries a distinct moisture, a cool dampness that rises from the lake to meet the rising ground, turning the evening light into a pale, translucent silver. Beyond the immediate shore, the landscape remains defined by its proximity to the water, where the Rivière Beaudette flows through the distance some 7 km away. While the expansive silence of Parc national d'Oka waits 38 km to the north, Pointe-Biron keeps its own company, anchored by the shifting moods of the lake and the seasonal cycles of the surrounding soil. The life of Pointe-Biron draws from a long history of agricultural stewardship, where families have worked the heavy, fertile earth of Sainte-Barbe for generations. The local economy persists in this tradition, with small-scale farming and residential life shaping the day-to-day movements of the people who reside here. One might notice how the work of the day follows the sun, with machinery moving across the fields until the shadows of the Coteau de la Rivière La Guerre stretch long and deep across the furrows. This is a quiet corner of Le Haut-Saint-Laurent, where the traditions of the region are kept by the persistence of the hands that tend the land and the watchful gaze of those who live within sight of the water.
Pointe-Biron s’étire avec une tranquille assurance le long des rives du lac St. Francis, là où la terre s’incline doucement vers les eaux vastes et calmes. À proximité du Coteau de la Rivière La Guerre, le paysage se déploie en une étendue plane, façonnée par une agriculture patiente qui semble puiser sa force dans la fertilité des sols du Haut-Saint-Laurent. Lorsque le soleil décline, une lumière dorée enveloppe Pointe-Biron, faisant scintiller la surface du lac et soulignant le relief discret des champs qui s’étendent à perte de vue. À sept kilomètres de là, la Rivière Beaudette poursuit son cheminement discret, ajoutant sa présence fluide à ce cadre où la nature impose un rythme lent et immuable. Si le Parc national d’Oka demeure une présence lointaine à trente-huit kilomètres, le quotidien ici se définit par cette proximité immédiate avec les horizons ouverts et le souffle des vents qui parcourent les plaines. Les habitants observent le passage des heures sous un ciel immense, perpétuant une manière d’habiter le territoire qui privilégie la simplicité des gestes et le respect des cycles naturels. La terre, travaillée avec une constance héritée des générations, conserve les marques d’une vie tournée vers le lac, offrant une quiétude rare aux promeneurs attentifs aux nuances changeantes de cette rive québécoise.
