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 Portneuf-sur-Mer.
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.

Portneuf-sur-Mer is a municipality in Portneuf-sur-Mer; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Portneuf-sur-Mer is located at 48.6182°N, 69.1020°W.
Portneuf-sur-Mer holds a quiet vigil where the Rivière Portneuf empties its cold, dark currents into the vast, tidal expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 13.5 km south of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 188°T), and is situated 1.1 km south-south-west of Rivière-Portneuf. The air here carries the bracing salt of the estuary, a scent that clings to the spruce and fir as the tide pulls back to reveal the hidden architecture of the shore. Inland, the terrain rises into rugged, forested folds where Lac à Canard sits in stillness, a reflective mirror for the shifting northern clouds. Only six kilometers away, the Chutes Philias break the silence with a steady, rhythmic rush of water, marking the transition from the high interior to the coastal plain. Even at a distance of thirty-eight kilometers, the presence of Parc national du Bic influences the regional horizon, reminding those who watch the light fade over the water that they inhabit a landscape defined by deep, ancient geological patience. Life in Portneuf-sur-Mer persists through the enduring cycles of the forest and the sea, grounded in the industries that have long harvested the bounty of the northern coast. The local economy draws its strength from the surrounding woodlands and the seasonal movements of the water, maintaining a connection to the land that feels both pragmatic and deeply rooted. Generations have navigated the balance between the demands of the timber trade and the unpredictable moods of the St. Lawrence, fostering a character defined by resilience and a preference for the tangible over the abstract. Whether observing the early morning fog as it clings to the Rivière Portneuf or listening to the persistent hum of activity along the docks, one finds that Portneuf-sur-Mer operates with a singular, focused clarity, indifferent to the noise of the wider world.
Portneuf-sur-Mer s’étire avec une tranquille noblesse là où les eaux de la Rivière Portneuf viennent se perdre dans l’immensité salée du Saint-Laurent. La lumière du couchant y prend une teinte argentée, révélant la patience des marées qui façonnent quotidiennement le littoral. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac à Canard dort sous le couvert forestier, tandis que le fracas des Chutes Philias chante une mélodie plus vive, rappelant la force brute des éléments qui ont dessiné ce relief escarpé. L’histoire de Portneuf-sur-Mer se lit dans le labeur des hommes ayant domestiqué cette terre rude, entre le travail du bois et l’appel du large. Le regard porte loin vers le sud-ouest en direction du Parc national du Bic, mais l’esprit demeure ici, imprégné par la sérénité des anses et le vent qui balaye les grèves. Les gens y vivent en accord avec le rythme des saisons, dans une simplicité qui honore le patrimoine de ceux ayant foulé ces rivages avant eux. Le paysage se déploie sans artifice, offrant aux résidents une solitude habitée où le ciel rencontre la terre dans un équilibre pur, loin du tumulte des grandes agglomérations, dans ce coin préservé de la Haute-Côte-Nord.
