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 Quartier-De Quen.
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.

Quartier-De Quen is a administrative sector in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Quartier-De Quen is located at 48.5708°N, 71.6358°W.
Quartier-De Quen occupies a grounded position within the terrain of Alma, standing as a quiet threshold between the built environment and the expansive pull of the Saguenay River. It lies 2.7 km north-north-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 29°T), and is situated 11.3 km north of Saint-Bruno. The Saguenay River defines the atmospheric weight of the region, its presence felt in the cool, moisture-heavy air that clings to the Côte du Côtoyage at dawn. Beyond the immediate streets, the landscape opens toward the stillness of Petit lac des Harvey, located about 4 km away, while the broader horizons of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon wait 28 km to the north. Light here possesses a particular clarity, catching the edges of the riverbanks and casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the solid, enduring geometry of the land. The history of Quartier-De Quen reflects the broader industrial ambitions of Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, where the movement of water and the necessity of trade shaped the local economy. Daily life in Quartier-De Quen moves with a measured purpose, influenced by the proximity to essential waterways that have sustained the region for generations. Residents carry a certain pragmatism born of the northern climate, finding beauty in the stark transition between the hum of local industry and the sudden, vast silence of the surrounding natural features. Even as modern demands press upon the district, the fundamental character remains anchored to the steady, rhythmic flow of the Saguenay River, which continues to dictate the pace of the coming and going seasons.
Quartier-De Quen s’étire avec une sobriété tranquille sur les rives de la rivière Saguenay, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de se perdre dans l’immensité des eaux sombres. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose une clarté particulière, presque minérale, qui souligne la rigueur des lignes de la Côte du Côtoyage et rappelle aux habitants la persistance des éléments. À quelques kilomètres, le Petit lac des Harvey offre son calme aux oiseaux de passage, tandis qu’un peu plus loin, les étendues sauvages du Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon dessinent l’horizon, modifiant la perception des distances dans ce secteur de Alma. Quartier-De Quen porte en lui le poids d’un héritage bâti sur la dureté du sol et la proximité des courants, une identité forgée par le labeur quotidien et l’observation silencieuse des vents qui balaient le bassin. Ici, le rythme de vie s'ajuste à la nature changeante, où chaque bâtiment semble s'incliner légèrement devant la puissance imposante de la rivière Saguenay. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une humidité qui imprègne les fondations et les mémoires, transformant chaque fin de journée en un moment de contemplation pure où le ciel se confond avec la ligne sombre de la rive.
