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-McGinnis.
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-McGinnis emerges from the flat, industrious stretches of the Saint-Alexandre landscape as a quiet projection of land near Le Coteau. It lies 13.8 km south-east of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC (from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC: bearing 132°T), and is situated 15.5 km north-west of Bedford. The earth here holds a stubborn, fertile patience, defined by the low horizons of Le Haut-Richelieu where the sky seems to press closer to the soil. During the long, bruised light of dusk, the fields around Pointe-McGinnis take on a metallic sheen, reflecting a stillness that settles deep into the clay. The Rivière aux Brochets maintains its steady, hidden movement about 8 km away, feeding the moisture into the air that clings to the late-season harvest. Further afield, the distant profile of Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno rises 39 km away, serving as a dark, permanent anchor against the expansive, open air of the surrounding plains. The history of Pointe-McGinnis follows the trajectory of the surrounding region, where agriculture has long dictated the calendar of human activity. The local economy persists in a dialogue with the land, prioritizing the cultivation of crops that thrive in the deep, heavy soils of the Richelieu Valley. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of seasonal cycles, marked by the machinery that traverses the fields and the sudden, sharp silence that follows the end of the workday. Residents maintain a connection to the landscape that is pragmatic and unadorned, valuing the clear lines of the horizon and the predictable turn of the seasons over the clamor of more crowded centers. Even when the wind pulls hard across the open ground, there is a sense of settled permanence that defines the character of Pointe-McGinnis, grounding its people in a geography that demands both labor and respect.
Pointe-McGinnis s’étire sur une terre plate et féconde, là où le ciel du Haut-Richelieu semble peser de tout son poids sur les labours sombres. Le sol, travaillé avec une opiniâtreté héritée des ancêtres, garde en mémoire le labeur des premiers défricheurs qui ont su dompter cette plaine pour en extraire une subsistance frugale mais assurée. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière aux Brochets serpente avec une lenteur calculée, apportant une humidité nécessaire aux cultures céréalières qui dominent l’horizon. Vers le nord, la silhouette lointaine du Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno signale une rupture dans la platitude des champs, offrant une sentinelle naturelle à cette étendue agricole. Lorsque le soleil décline, une lumière cuivrée baigne les granges et les silos, transformant les outils agricoles en objets de métal précieux. Les habitants de Pointe-McGinnis vivent au rythme des récoltes et des caprices du vent qui balaie le Coteau, perpétuant une tradition de labeur silencieux. Rien ici ne semble superflu ; chaque clôture, chaque rangée de maïs, chaque chemin de terre raconte une existence dédiée à la terre, loin du tumulte des grandes agglomérations, dans une quiétude que seul le passage des oiseaux migrateurs vient troubler.
