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 Pont-Viau.
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.

Pont-Viau is a administrative sector in Laval; Laval, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pont-Viau is located at 45.5719°N, 73.6858°W.
Pont-Viau rests upon the northern shores of the St. Lawrence, where the land of the Les Écores shapes the horizon with a steady, grounded persistence. It lies 12.4 km north-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 304°T), and is situated 5.1 km east-north-east of Laval. The air here holds the damp, cool weight of the river, a constant presence that softens the edges of the urban sprawl and brings a silver clarity to the light at dusk. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the Rivière aux Chiens flows quietly some 11 km away, while the stillness of Lac aux Castors persists at a similar distance, both serving as quiet anchors in the memory of the landscape. Even as the wind shifts across the flat terrain, one senses the proximity of Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville, located 16 km distant, where the wilder, marshy reaches of the basin remain undisturbed by the insistent hum of the nearby bridges. The history of Pont-Viau finds its strength in the movement of people across the water, serving as a vital gateway that has long connected the island to the mainland. Local commerce thrives in the spaces between these crossings, with small businesses and residential lanes creating a practical, industrious character that defines the daily walk of its residents. The architecture reflects a century of growth, where modest homes stand shoulder to shoulder, their brick facades holding the warmth of the afternoon sun long after the shadows lengthen. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a commuter crossing the span, yet there is a quiet dignity in the way the morning mist clings to the riverbanks, marking the passage of seasons in a land that values its endurance above all else.
Pont-Viau s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où les terres basses des Écores composent un horizon de plaines fertiles et de horizons ouverts. L'air y possède cette densité particulière des zones riveraines, vibrant d'une humidité qui caresse la peau à la tombée du jour, lorsque la lumière s'attarde sur les eaux sombres avec une douceur presque palpable. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière aux Chiens trace son chemin silencieux, tandis que le Lac aux Castors et le Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville ponctuent la géographie environnante de leur présence apaisante, rappelant la proximité d'une nature qui, bien que contenue, impose son rythme aux activités humaines. Pont-Viau puise sa force dans cette alliance entre la rigueur du climat québécois et la constance du fleuve, dont le mouvement incessant semble dicter la cadence des jours. Les habitants y cultivent une existence sobre, tournée vers ces espaces où le regard porte loin, au-delà des structures urbaines, vers les replis de terre qui forment le socle historique de cette contrée. Ici, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, soutenu par le souffle constant qui monte du rivage, transformant chaque crépuscule en une méditation sur la persistance des formes dans le silence du nord.
