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-la-Traverse.
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-la-Traverse is a resort in Chambord; Le Domaine-du-Roy, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pointe-de-la-Traverse is located at 48.4729°N, 72.1095°W.
Pointe-de-la-Traverse rests upon the solid, ancient earth where the Rivière Ouiatchouan finds its quiet conclusion against the vast expanse of Lac Saint-Jean. It lies 9.7 km east-south-east of Roberval, QC (from Roberval, QC: bearing 121°T), and is situated 5.9 km north-west of Chambord. The terrain here holds a particular gravity, shaped by the proximity of the Monts Jumeaux, whose silhouettes darken the horizon as the sun slips behind the peaks, casting long, bruised shadows across the water. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of stone and deep, cold lake currents, a reminder of the raw elemental forces that define this stretch of shoreline in Chambord, Le Domaine-du-Roy. During the transition of dusk, the light loses its heat, leaving the surface of the lake to mirror the sky with a clarity that renders the boundary between land and water almost illusory. The history of Pointe-de-la-Traverse remains anchored to the movement of water and the persistence of those who settled along its banks to harvest the bounty of the land. Economic life here draws from the legacy of the forest and the fertile soil that allowed families to carve a living from the northern fringes of the region. While Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon sits 27 km away, the local character is defined by a more intimate, solitary relationship with the immediate landscape, where the daily tasks of maintenance and seasonal preparation dictate the movement of the day. Life in Pointe-de-la-Traverse follows the turning of the seasons, demanding a steady hand and a patient eye, as the inhabitants observe the subtle shifts in the river’s flow and the encroaching frost that settles on the fields before winter takes hold.
Pointe-de-la-Traverse déploie ses rives sur les eaux vastes du Lac Saint-Jean, là où le ciel semble s'abaisser pour caresser la terre de Chambord. Le regard se porte vers les Monts Jumeaux qui dessinent une ligne calme et familière à l'horizon, tandis que la Rivière Ouiatchouan murmure son passage éternel, animant le terrain d'un souffle frais et constant. La lumière du crépuscule s'étire sur ce sol fertile, soulignant les sillons agricoles et l'histoire des familles qui ont façonné cette terre par un labeur patient. L'air, chargé d'une humidité légère, porte en lui le souvenir des échanges ancestraux sur ces berges autrefois fréquentées par les peuples nomades. À une distance de vingt-sept kilomètres, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon prolonge cette étendue sauvage, mais ici, à Pointe-de-la-Traverse, le temps semble suspendu dans la simplicité des gestes quotidiens. La vie s'organise autour de cette géographie intime, entre la forêt qui veille en retrait et le lac immense dont le ressac compose une mélodie familière. Le paysage, dépourvu d'artifice, offre une clarté minérale et végétale qui définit l'identité de ses habitants, fiers de cette terre où chaque saison révèle la noblesse d'une nature indomptée par les hommes.
