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 Poste-des-Villeneuve.
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.

Poste-des-Villeneuve is a hamlet in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Poste-des-Villeneuve is located at 48.3514°N, 70.7478°W.
Poste-des-Villeneuve rests along the St. Lawrence, where the reach of the water meets the rugged expanse of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. It lies 24.7 km east-south-east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 110°T), and is situated 12.7 km west-south-west of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord. The land here holds a distinct, northern stillness, characterized by the proximity of the Côte à François and the quiet presence of Lac à Guilmée, which sits just three kilometres away. When the light shifts toward dusk, the air thins and sharpens, catching the edge of the granite and the deep, dark green of the conifers that define the horizon. Further inland, the Rivière Pelletier carves its path through the terrain eight kilometres distant, while the distant, surging force of Chutes à Gamelin waits twelve kilometres away, a reminder of the power latent in the northern landscape. The history of Poste-des-Villeneuve reflects a long, intentional alignment with the resources of the north, where the economy has historically drawn sustenance from the forest and the river. Life here moves in accordance with the turning seasons, a pattern that persists even as the modern world pushes against the solitude of Parc national des Monts-Valin, located thirty kilometres from the settlement. Residents maintain a quiet connection to the land, their daily lives shaped by the bracing climate and the vast, unyielding scale of the surrounding wilderness. In the evenings, the glow of the settlement against the darkening sky feels like a singular, steady pulse, marking a human presence that has endured through the changing demands of the timber and power industries.
Poste-des-Villeneuve s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large vient polir la pierre et les visages près de Côte à François. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui souligne la rigueur des terres façonnées par le labeur des bâtisseurs. À quelques lieues, la Rivière Pelletier serpente dans un silence forestier tandis que le Lac à Guilmée retient en ses profondeurs sombres le reflet changeant des cieux boréaux. Plus loin, la puissance sourde des Chutes à Gamelin impose son rythme éternel aux terres environnantes, alors que la silhouette lointaine du Parc national des Monts-Valin dessine une frontière indomptable contre l'horizon. Les habitants de Poste-des-Villeneuve connaissent le poids des hivers et la brièveté des étés, marquant chaque journée par les gestes simples de la subsistance et de la terre. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas sans effort, demandant à chaque visiteur une attention totale pour saisir la rudesse de ce sol qui a vu s'implanter des vies tenaces. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'humidité du grand fleuve, rappelant sans cesse la force des éléments qui dictent, encore aujourd'hui, la cadence lente et assurée de cette existence septentrionale.
