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 Rivière-Coupée.
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.

Rivière-Coupée is a locality in Acton Vale; Acton, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-Coupée is located at 45.6467°N, 72.5819°W.
Rivière-Coupée rests quietly within the rolling expanse of Acton, where the land holds the weight of long winters and the persistent promise of the thaw. It lies 27.1 km south-south-west of Drummondville, QC (from Drummondville, QC: bearing 196°T), and is situated 1.3 km west of Acton Vale. The Rivière Noire traces a path through the terrain near the Côtes de l’Égypte, its currents moving with a steady, deliberate cold that seems to pull the heat from the late afternoon air. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the water, turning the river into a ribbon of hammered silver that divides the fields from the encroaching tree line. Those who walk the banks here find the ground firm and dark, a soil shaped by generations of labor that still defines the quiet industry of the region. While the Chutes de Roxton Falls draw the eye with their kinetic force some 9 km away, the stillness around Rivière-Coupée offers a different kind of focus, where the wind carries the scent of damp earth and the distant, turning gears of local agricultural life. History persists in the way the land is partitioned and worked, reflecting a heritage of settlement that valued the proximity of the Rivière Noire for its modest but vital power. The economy of Rivière-Coupée continues to draw its strength from the surrounding fields, a tradition of stewardship that remains visible in the orderly fences and the seasonal transition of the crops. Life here moves according to the demands of the weather and the turning of the seasons, far removed from the bustle of denser hubs. Even with the presence of Parc national de la Yamaska about 24 km away, the local character remains defined by a specific, localized intimacy with the immediate horizon. It is a setting that rewards a patient observer, one who notices how the evening shadows lengthen across the pastures, grounding the life of Rivière-Coupée in the enduring, quiet cycle of the day.
Rivière-Coupée s'étire avec une patience tranquille le long des berges sinueuses de la Rivière Noire, là où le sol d'Acton Vale conserve encore le souvenir des labours anciens et de la rigueur des hivers québécois. La lumière du crépuscule s'attarde sur les terres agricoles, étirant les ombres des granges jusqu'aux limites des Côtes de l'Égypte, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une humidité légère, semble porter le murmure constant du courant. À quelques lieues de là, la force sourde des Chutes de Roxton Falls rappelle la puissance sculpturale de l'eau sur le roc, un rappel naturel que Rivière-Coupée partage avec les vastes étendues paisibles du Parc national de la Yamaska, situé à une distance qui permet encore aux vents de porter les odeurs de sous-bois et de terre fraîche. La vie quotidienne ici suit un rythme qui ne cherche pas à devancer l'horizon, se nourrissant de cette proximité avec la Rivière Noire qui a dicté, depuis l'origine, le tracé des chemins et l'implantation des premières fermes. Dans ce cadre où le relief s'aplanit pour laisser place aux champs, les habitants entretiennent une relation simple avec le paysage, un lien qui se manifeste par une attention portée aux moindres variations du ciel et à la persistance du silence au-delà du murmure des eaux.
