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-aux-Ormes.
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-aux-Ormes is a residential area in Trois-Rivières; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pointe-aux-Ormes is located at 46.3072°N, 72.5811°W.
Pointe-aux-Ormes rests as a quiet reach of land where the persistent currents of the St. Lawrence meet the modest flow of the Rivière Millette. It lies 4.9 km south-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 216°T), and is situated 9.4 km north-north-east of Nicolet. The low-lying terrain near the Plateau Laval catches the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, lean shadows across the damp earth. This geography defines the local character, where the moisture of the riverbanks lingers in the air, cooling the summer heat and grounding the senses in the proximity of moving water. Life in Pointe-aux-Ormes moves with the subtle shifts of the season, a steady engagement with a landscape that remains open and exposed to the sky. About 8 km away, the quiet stillness of Lac Marc-Hélène provides a contrast to the constant, fluid motion of the larger waterways that shape the daily experience of the residents. The history of Pointe-aux-Ormes reflects the patterns of settlement along the river, where industry and agriculture have long sought a foothold in the fertile, silty soil. While the economy has evolved from its early reliance on the river’s bounty, the presence of the water continues to dictate the orientation of the streets and the quiet habits of those who dwell here. Local traditions follow the turn of the year, marked by the freezing and thawing of the Rivière Millette, which acts as a seasonal clock for the inhabitants. In the evenings, the horizon glow reflects off the expansive surface of the St. Lawrence, reminding everyone that Pointe-aux-Ormes exists at the intersection of a vast, slow-moving continental artery and the smaller, immediate rhythms of home.
Pointe-aux-Ormes s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le courant impose sa cadence aux terres basses de la Mauricie. Le terrain, façonné par les alluvions et la proximité immédiate de la Rivière Millette, offre un sol fertile qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des travaux agricoles, tandis que le Plateau Laval surplombe cette étendue d'une présence apaisante et constante. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac Marc-Hélène conserve son immobilité dans la lumière déclinante, agissant comme un miroir silencieux pour les arbres qui bordent l'horizon. L'air, chargé d'une humidité venue du fleuve, imprègne chaque pierre des habitations et chaque sentier longeant les berges, rappelant le labeur des anciens bâtisseurs dont les traces persistent dans la géométrie des parcelles cultivées. La vie à Pointe-aux-Ormes suit le mouvement des marées et la lente bascule du soleil, une existence dépouillée de tout artifice où le vent du nord vient parfois bousculer la quiétude des roseaux. Ce rapport intime avec l'eau et la terre confère au paysage une densité particulière, une solidité que le passage des heures ne parvient jamais à altérer, laissant chaque habitant seul face à l'immensité tranquille du Saint-Laurent.
