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-de-Rivière-Ouelle.
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-de-Rivière-Ouelle is a hamlet in Rivière-Ouelle; Kamouraska, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pointe-de-Rivière-Ouelle is located at 47.4331°N, 70.0511°W.
Pointe-de-Rivière-Ouelle rests where the land leans into the St. Lawrence, defined by the meeting of salt air and the steady flow of the Rivière Ouelle. It lies 7.2 km north-north-west of La Pocatière, QC (from La Pocatière, QC: bearing 349°T), and is situated 8.4 km west-north-west of Saint-Pacôme. The horizon here is dominated by the presence of Le Rocher, a sentinel standing against the tides that pull at the shoreline. Inland, the topography shifts, leading toward the Chutes de la Rivière Ouelle, where the water gains a sudden, urgent voice before resuming its path toward the sea. Some ten kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Rond offers a quiet contrast to the vast, moving expanse of the river. When the light fades at dusk, the water takes on a bruised, metallic sheen, reflecting the cold clarity that defines the transition between the riverbank and the open sky. Settlement in this corner of the world has long been shaped by the proximity to the water, where maritime traditions and agricultural roots hold firm. The economy of Pointe-de-Rivière-Ouelle continues to draw from the bounty of the estuary, maintaining a character forged by the persistent necessity of working with the elements. Local life moves in alignment with the seasons, from the ice-breaking clarity of late winter to the humid, fertile heat of midsummer. Residents carry a quiet focus, their daily routines punctuated by the shifting tides and the enduring physical presence of the landscape. Even as the modern world intrudes, the gravity of the river remains the primary anchor for those who call this shoreline home.
Pointe-de-Rivière-Ouelle s’avance dans le Saint-Laurent comme une terre qui hésite entre le repos du sol et l’immensité salée des marées. Ici, la lumière du couchant se fragmente sur les rives de la Rivière Ouelle, révélant la silhouette austère du Rocher qui semble veiller sur les eaux changeantes depuis des siècles. Le vent parcourt les espaces ouverts avec une insistance qui rappelle la rudesse et la beauté de ce littoral bas-laurentien, où les familles ont bâti leur existence sur le rythme des courants et la richesse des terres agricoles. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac Rond demeure une présence discrète dans le relief, tandis que les Chutes de la Rivière Ouelle marquent le paysage d’un murmure constant, rappelant la force vive qui a nourri l’activité de jadis. Dans la solitude des soirs d'automne, Pointe-de-Rivière-Ouelle porte en elle une dignité simple, celle des lieux qui n'ont rien à prouver aux voyageurs de passage. Les habitations se tournent vers le large, habituées à l'air vif et aux brumes qui montent du grand fleuve, composant un décor où le labeur quotidien se confond avec la rigueur des éléments. Chaque battement de vague sur la grève souligne la pérennité d'un site où l'histoire se lit dans la pierre et le mouvement incessant des eaux.
