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 Radnor-des-Forges.
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.

Radnor-des-Forges is a locality in Saint-Maurice; Les Chenaux, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Radnor-des-Forges is located at 46.4947°N, 72.5389°W.
Radnor-des-Forges sits with a quiet, persistent gravity upon the land near the Plateau Laval, where the earth holds the memory of deep shifts and long winters. It lies 16.9 km north of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 1°T), and is situated 9.1 km south-south-west of Saint-Narcisse. The low light of late afternoon catches the reeds near Lac Désilets, three kilometers away, turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter that seems to hold the sky in place. A few kilometers further, the Rivière au Lard carves its path through the landscape, its presence marked by the silver-grey bark of poplars standing against the horizon. Even at a distance of twelve kilometers, the sheer verticality of the Chutes de la Cheminée suggests the hidden power of the terrain, a reminder that the land here does not sit idle. The air carries a scent of damp stone and pine needles, a sharp clarity that settles into the lungs and clarifies the mind. Radnor-des-Forges retains the echoes of an industrial past, where the iron-rich soil once fed the fires of early furnaces. The local economy has shifted from those intense, flame-licked origins toward a steady, deliberate relationship with the surrounding woods and fields. Residents move with a focused intent, tending to the seasonal demands of the Saint-Maurice region with a familiarity that ignores the need for hurry. The history of the forge is not merely a record of production but a lingering influence on the character of the site, grounding the people in a legacy of manual labor and resilience. Life in Radnor-des-Forges unfolds in the spaces between the trees, where the transition from the heat of the day to the cooling dusk feels like a fundamental change in the weight of the air itself.
Radnor-des-Forges s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses près du Plateau Laval, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur onctueuse sur le sol. L'air, chargé d'une humidité légère qui monte des terres, enveloppe les habitations d'une fraîcheur persistante, rappelant le labeur ancien de ceux qui ont extrait le fer de ce sous-sol généreux. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière au Lard serpente dans un silence épais, tandis que le Lac Désilets retient, dans son miroir immobile, le ciel changeant de la fin du jour. Le paysage, marqué par une rudesse élégante, s'ouvre vers les Chutes de la Cheminée dont le fracas lointain semble rythmer la respiration du terrain. Radnor-des-Forges conserve cette allure de territoire apprivoisé par l'industrie disparue, où les vestiges de la forge se fondent désormais dans la flore locale. Dans cette contrée des Chenaux, le temps ne se mesure pas par les horloges, mais par la manière dont le crépuscule s’attarde sur les champs, transformant chaque bosquet en une silhouette sombre et familière. Tout ici, de la terre ferme du Plateau Laval aux eaux calmes du Lac Désilets, participe à une existence dépouillée, où le travail des hommes a laissé place à une quiétude presque minérale.
