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 Poisson-Blanc.
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.

Poisson-Blanc is a hamlet in Lac-Ashuapmushuan; Le Domaine-du-Roy, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Poisson-Blanc is located at 48.9969°N, 73.2958°W.
The rugged terrain surrounding Poisson-Blanc finds its definition in the shadow of the Colline à l'Épervier, where the land rises with a quiet, persistent strength. It lies 73.0 km west-north-west of Saint-Félicien, QC (from Saint-Félicien, QC: bearing 302°T), and is situated 47.1 km west-north-west of Didyme. The waters of the Rivière à la Pêche carve a path through this northern expanse, their current carrying the cold, clear clarity of the highlands toward the horizon. Nearby, the stillness of Lac du Poisson Blanc reflects the low, heavy clouds that often gather before dusk, casting a silver light across the dark spruce needles. The air here holds a crisp, bracing quality, smelling faintly of damp granite and the ancient, slow-breathing moss that clings to the sheltered slopes. Life in Poisson-Blanc remains attuned to the vast, wild presence of the Réserve faunique Ashuapmushuan, which dominates the surrounding wilderness and dictates the seasonal shifts of the local economy. Trapping and timber have long defined the work of those who settle near the Rivière à la Pêche, their efforts marked by the same endurance required to navigate the nearby Chutes de la Chaudière. During the autumn months, the forest becomes a place of intense, focused activity, as the community prepares for the encroaching frost that settles early over the high ground. Even with the demands of the modern world, the people of Poisson-Blanc maintain a steady, grounded perspective, finding their comfort in the reliability of the river and the vast, unpopulated reaches that stretch beyond the reach of the road.
Poisson-Blanc s’éveille sous une lumière oblique, celle qui s'attarde sur la Colline à l'Épervier avant de glisser vers les méandres de la Rivière à la Pêche. Ici, le terrain garde la mémoire des vastes espaces boréaux où le travail de la terre et la patience des hommes ont façonné une existence frugale, tournée vers les rigueurs du climat et la générosité des eaux. Le Lac du Poisson Blanc, situé à un jet de pierre, influence la douceur inhabituelle des soirées, quand la brume monte pour envelopper les rivages d'un silence presque minéral. À quelques lieues, la puissance des Chutes de la Chaudière impose une cadence sourde à la contrée, rappelant la force indomptable qui traverse la Réserve faunique Ashuapmushuan. Poisson-Blanc puise sa vitalité dans ce contact constant avec une nature qui ne demande aucune concession, forgeant un caractère où la résilience des anciens demeure palpable dans chaque sentier forestier. Entre les pins et les roches anciennes, l'air porte une odeur de sève et de fraîcheur humide qui définit l'identité profonde de ces terres du Domaine-du-Roy, où le quotidien s'écoule avec la lenteur des courants sauvages, loin de l'agitation du monde, dans une clarté limpide qui semble suspendre le cours des heures.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
