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 Précieux-Sang.
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.

Précieux-Sang is a post office in Bécancour; Bécancour, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Précieux-Sang is located at 46.2931°N, 72.4028°W.
Précieux-Sang rests quietly upon the low, fertile stretches near the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the expansive influence of the river. It lies 12.1 km east-south-east of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 117°T), and is situated 6.6 km south-south-east of Bécancour. Here, the proximity to the Plateau Laval lends a subtle height to the horizon, grounding the village in a landscape defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Rivière Bécancour. At dusk, the light catches the moisture rising from the fields, turning the air into a thin, silver veil that clings to the stalks of grain. Five kilometers away, the stillness of Lac aux Outardes offers a counterpoint to the moving waters nearby, while the distant, rhythmic rush of Chutes Thibodeau, located thirteen kilometers out, hums as a persistent vibration against the silence of the evening. The history of Précieux-Sang lingers in the sturdy architecture of its older homes and the long-established agricultural patterns that dictate the seasonal pulse of its inhabitants. Local life remains tied to the cycles of the harvest and the steady, industrious work that defines the economy of the Bécancour region. Men and women move through their days with a deliberate focus, their labor echoing the endurance of those who first settled these riverbanks. Even as modern demands shift the focus of the land, the core character of Précieux-Sang persists, held together by a shared recognition of the water’s edge and the deep, dark soil that anchors every farmstead.
Précieux-Sang s'étire avec une patience tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de plonger dans le fleuve. Ce territoire, façonné par des générations de labeur agricole, puise sa force dans la proximité de la Rivière Bécancour, dont le courant accompagne le labeur des champs et la marche lente des jours. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac aux Outardes offre une halte paisible aux regards, tandis que la puissance des Chutes Thibodeau, situées à une distance plus marquée, rappelle la vigueur des eaux environnantes. La lumière du crépuscule s’attarde longuement sur les plaines, découpant les silos et les toitures avec une précision presque nostalgique. Dans les gestes quotidiens des résidents, une dignité héritée des pionniers persiste, portée par une mémoire acadienne qui infuse les relations humaines d'une chaleur discrète. Précieux-Sang conserve ce caractère authentique des terres basses, où l'air porte souvent le parfum de la terre retournée et l'humidité du grand cours d'eau. Les habitants, habitués à la rigueur du climat, trouvent dans la simplicité du paysage une raison de demeurer, cultivant une vie qui, sans éclat inutile, se déploie avec la constance d'une marée familière, loin de toute agitation superflue.
