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-la-Pointe.
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-la-Pointe is a resort in Dolbeau-Mistassini; Maria-Chapdelaine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Quartier-de-la-Pointe is located at 48.7567°N, 72.0905°W.
Quartier-de-la-Pointe rests along the expansive, cooling margins of Lac Saint-Jean where the earth yields to the steady, persistent currents of the Petite rivière Péribonka. It lies 16.6 km south-east of Dolbeau-Mistassini, QC (from Dolbeau-Mistassini, QC: bearing 143°T), and is situated 3.2 km west-south-west of Péribonka. The water here possesses a particular clarity, reflecting a sky that seems to hold more light than the land below, especially as evening draws a thin, violet haze over the shoreline. To the north, the terrain remains marked by a quiet endurance, shaped by the proximity of the Petite rivière Péribonka and the vast reach of the lake. While the distant, thundering presence of Chutes du Père-William lies some fourteen kilometers away, the local atmosphere maintains a stillness that favors the sound of wind through the brush over the clamor of industry. Residents often look toward the horizon where the silhouette of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon anchors the landscape, providing a sense of scale to a region defined by its reliance on the water's edge. History in Quartier-de-la-Pointe draws deeply from the currents of the north, where the economy has long turned toward the bounty of the timberlands and the seasonal shifts of the waterways. The daily life of Quartier-de-la-Pointe reflects a practical relationship with the surrounding boreal environment, where the wood-smoke scent of autumn mornings signals the turning of the year. Local industry has historically looked to the forests for its livelihood, moving at a speed dictated by the long, deep freeze of the winters and the sudden, vibrant blooming of the brief summer. Even today, the people who dwell here honor the legacy of those who navigated the Petite rivière Péribonka long before the roads were paved, maintaining a perspective that prioritizes the health of the land and the stability of the shore.
Quartier-de-la-Pointe s’étire avec une patience minérale le long des rives vastes du Lac Saint-Jean, là où l’horizon semble se dissoudre dans une lumière bleutée. Les eaux de la Petite rivière Péribonka viennent ici déposer leur sédiment, façonnant un sol qui porte en lui la mémoire du travail acharné des défricheurs. À quelques lieues de là, la puissance sauvage des Chutes du Père-William rappelle la force indomptée des courants, tandis que les étendues préservées du Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon dessinent une frontière naturelle entre la terre habitée et la forêt boréale. Dans le quotidien de Quartier-de-la-Pointe, le souffle du vent transporte souvent le parfum des résineux et la fraîcheur humide des grands plans d’eau, dictant un rythme de vie humble, calqué sur les cycles de la nature. Les habitants observent le ciel changer au-dessus de ces étendues planes, trouvant dans la rudesse du climat une forme de noblesse qui définit leur identité. Le paysage, marqué par la proximité constante de ces espaces protégés et de ces cours d’eau, impose une présence silencieuse, presque imposante, à quiconque arpente ces terres tournées vers le lac, où l’immensité des espaces nordiques demeure une compagne de chaque instant.
