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 Presqu'île-Asselin.
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.

Presqu'île-Asselin is a residential area in Léry; Roussillon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Presqu'île-Asselin is located at 45.3600°N, 73.7903°W.
Presqu'île-Asselin projects into the quiet waters of Lac Saint-Louis, a low-lying tongue of land in Léry that catches the first amber light of morning before it spills across the surface of the Rivière Châteauguay. It lies 24.8 km south-west of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 228°T), and is situated 8.6 km north-east of Beauharnois. The land here sits within the Le Tertre, holding a stillness that seems to gather in the reeds and the damp, rich earth of the shoreline. When the wind shifts, the air carries the cool, sharp scent of the river, a reminder of the vast, moving volume of water that defines the horizon. Chutes Saint-Louis lies some distance away, its presence felt more in the distant, rhythmic hum of currents than in any visual landmark, while the distant, shadowed ridges of Parc national d'Oka provide a faint, hazy boundary against the northern sky. Presqu'île-Asselin rests upon a foundation of quiet industry and residential life, where the local pace is dictated by the turning of the seasons rather than the rush of the nearby urban centers. The history of Roussillon lingers in the older shorefront dwellings, which stand with their backs to the trees and their faces turned toward the expansive, grey-blue reach of the lake. Life in Presqu'île-Asselin moves with the water, marked by the small, private docks and the seasonal migration of birds that find shelter in the protected inlets of the Rivière Châteauguay. The community maintains a character defined by this proximity to the water, where the encroaching evening turns the sky a bruised purple and the lights of the distant shore begin to blink like submerged stars.
Presqu'île-Asselin s'étire avec une lenteur tranquille le long des rives du Lac Saint-Louis, là où le terrain s'incline doucement vers l'eau dans un silence attentif. Le paysage, marqué par la proximité de la Rivière Châteauguay, semble retenir le souffle des vents qui parcourent la plaine, apportant une fraîcheur constante aux jardins et aux demeures qui bordent le rivage. Dans le secteur du Tertre, la lumière du crépuscule se fragmente sur la surface du lac, conférant aux arbres une silhouette presque irréelle, tandis que le souvenir des Chutes Saint-Louis, situées à une distance mesurée, habite le murmure persistant du courant. La vie à Presqu'île-Asselin se déploie dans une simplicité rigoureuse, façonnée par cette terre basse et humide où l'horizon s'ouvre généreusement, rappelant la présence, plus lointaine, du Parc national d'Oka. Les habitants observent le passage des heures sous un ciel immense qui transforme les nuances du sol en autant de teintes changeantes, du gris perle des matinées brumeuses aux éclats dorés de la fin du jour. Ici, chaque geste quotidien s'ajuste au rythme des marées intérieures du lac, offrant une solitude paisible aux rives qui accueillent encore, dans leur terre fertile, la mémoire des gestes anciens et le calme des espaces préservés.
