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-l'Orignal.
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-l'Orignal is a locality in Lévis; Chaudière-Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pointe-de-l'Orignal is located at 46.6428°N, 71.3156°W.
Pointe-de-l'Orignal emerges from the quiet Le Cap, where the land holds the weight of the seasons in its dense, dark earth. It lies 13.2 km south-south-east of Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC (from Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC: bearing 167°T), and is situated 14.1 km south-south-west of Lévis. The air here carries the damp, metallic scent of the Rivière Beaurivage, a waterway that cuts through the terrain with a persistent, steady resolve. As the afternoon light fades, a pale amber glow settles over the fields, turning the grasses into brittle gold before the evening chill descends. In the distance, the stillness of Lac à Wagner provides a sharp contrast to the constant, low-frequency hum of the river, while the distant, rushing presence of Chutes de la Chaudière adds a sense of hidden power to the surrounding geography. History clings to Pointe-de-l'Orignal like morning mist, rooted in the labor of those who first turned this soil to build a life against the encroaching woods. The local economy persists through a quiet dedication to the land, where the rhythms of agriculture and small-scale industry dictate the pace of the days. Men and women go about their chores with the focused movements of people who understand that survival requires an intimate knowledge of the terrain. There is a profound dignity in the way the local character resists the frantic pace of the outside world, preferring the steady, predictable cycles of the seasons. Even now, the influence of the Rivière Beaurivage defines the boundaries of the local outlook, anchoring the people to a way of life that values substance over spectacle.
Pointe-de-l'Orignal s'étire avec une patience tranquille dans le secteur du Cap, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de s'incliner vers les eaux sombres de la Rivière Beaurivage. Dans cette portion de la Chaudière-Appalaches, le relief se travaille en pentes douces, façonnées par une agriculture tenace qui a su apprivoiser les sols exigeants de la rive. À quelques kilomètres vers l'est, le Lac à Wagner offre un miroir immobile aux arbres qui bordent son rivage, tandis que plus loin, le grondement sourd des Chutes de la Chaudière rappelle la force brute du courant qui sculpte le paysage environnant. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les champs, transformant les granges en silhouettes familières sous un ciel qui s'élargit démesurément. La vie à Pointe-de-l'Orignal suit le rythme lent des marées intérieures et des travaux des champs, loin de l'agitation des grands centres. Les habitants entretiennent une relation directe avec ce terrain tourné vers le cours d'eau, une proximité physique qui définit les gestes quotidiens et les habitudes de cette terre. Ici, le vent porte parfois l'humidité des berges, rappelant que chaque parcelle appartient d'abord au mouvement perpétuel de la Rivière Beaurivage.
