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 Rapide-des-Cèdres.
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.

Rapide-des-Cèdres is a hamlet in Lebel-sur-Quévillon; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rapide-des-Cèdres is located at 49.0153°N, 77.0614°W.
Rapide-des-Cèdres occupies a quiet stretch of the Rivière Bell, nestled in the shadow of the Colline Franquet where the air holds a permanent, crisp clarity. It lies 7.4 km west-south-west of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, QC (from Lebel-sur-Quévillon, QC: bearing 237°T), and is situated 21.8 km south-south-east of Rivière-Wedding. The landscape here is defined by the relentless forward motion of the river, which carries a cold, dark weight as it presses toward the north. Just four kilometers away, the Chutes Kiask interrupt the stillness with a low, persistent roar, a sound that settles into the bones of the land long before the water arrives. Beneath the vast, pale sky, the transition of the seasons marks the earth, turning the surrounding forest into a muted study of deep greens and brittle, frost-touched grey. Seven kilometers distant, Lac à la Pluie offers a mirror to the clouds, its surface often undisturbed by anything save the occasional ripple of a passing loon. The history of Rapide-des-Cèdres remains anchored to the rhythms of the boreal landscape and the practical demands of the timber industry that once defined the northern reaches of Lebel-sur-Quévillon. Workers here have long understood the necessity of reading the currents of the Rivière Bell, relying on the waterway as a primary artery for movement and trade. While the intensity of industrial activity has shifted, the character of the place persists in the steady, pragmatic habits of those who choose to live where the forest meets the water. Life in Rapide-des-Cèdres is measured by the changing light that reflects off the river at dusk, casting a long, amber glow against the slopes of the Colline Franquet. It is a location of deliberate isolation, where the silence of the woods is not an absence, but a distinct presence that clarifies the mind.
Rapide-des-Cèdres déploie sa silhouette singulière sur les rives de la Rivière Bell, là où le souffle boréal sculpte le relief avec une patience minérale. La lumière du couchant se dépose sur la Colline Franquet, enveloppant les horizons d'une clarté argentée qui semble suspendre l'écoulement des heures. À quelques encablures, le murmure des Chutes Kiask rythme la solitude des bois, tandis que les eaux plus calmes du Lac à la Pluie, situé à peine plus loin, miroitent sous un ciel immense. L'existence ici se décline dans le silence des forêts et la rigueur d'un climat qui exige une présence attentive à chaque changement de la lumière. Les activités humaines, tournées vers les richesses que recèle cette terre septentrionale, se fondent dans ce décor où la nature dicte ses propres lois avec une noblesse austère. En observant Rapide-des-Cèdres, on perçoit une harmonie fragile entre le labeur quotidien et la puissance brute des éléments qui entourent les rives. Le passage des jours y est marqué par la constance des courants de la Rivière Bell, témoin silencieux de la persévérance des hommes face à l'immensité sauvage du Nord-du-Québec.
