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-Croche.
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-Croche is a hamlet in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Rivière-Croche is located at 47.5219°N, 72.7575°W.
Rivière-Croche rests along the banks of the Rivière Croche, where the water catches the low, pale light of the north to mirror the surrounding timber. It lies 9.2 km north-north-east of La Tuque, QC (from La Tuque, QC: bearing 11°T), and is situated 31.1 km south-west of Les Équerres. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, cooling the dense stands of trees that press close to the river’s edge. Nearby, the stillness of Le Petit Lac offers a quiet contrast to the persistent, dark flow of the current, and the distant Réserve écologique Judith-De Brésoles protects the wilder, undisturbed reaches of the terrain. The land possesses a rugged, honest gravity, defined by the way the shadow of the forest lengthens across the earth as the afternoon fades into a deep, indigo dusk. Life in Rivière-Croche remains shaped by the rhythms of the forest and the enduring presence of the Rivière Croche, which has long served as a corridor for those working the land. The economy here draws its strength from the cycles of the wood, reflecting a history of labor that values endurance and the steady, practical work of the seasons. People move through their days with a quiet focus, their activities centered on the tasks that keep the homesteads and local enterprises functioning through the long, demanding winters. Even as the modern world shifts, Rivière-Croche retains a character defined by its proximity to the wild, where the sound of the river remains a constant, grounding presence beneath the quiet hum of daily life.
Rivière-Croche déploie ses habitations modestes le long des méandres capricieux de la Rivière Croche, là où la lumière déclinante du soir teinte l’horizon d’un ocre profond et silencieux. Dans ce repli de la Mauricie, la terre conserve une rudesse familière, façonnée par une longue tradition forestière qui a dicté, génération après génération, le rythme des hommes et des bêtes. À peine à trois kilomètres, les eaux calmes du Petit Lac miroitent sous la brise, offrant un miroir immobile à la voûte céleste, tandis que plus loin, vers la Réserve écologique Judith-De Brésoles, la forêt reprend ses droits dans une solitude presque austère. Rivière-Croche respire par cette proximité avec les éléments, ses résidents cultivant une existence simple, rythmée par le murmure constant du courant et la rigueur des hivers qui transforment le paysage en une étendue de givre immaculé. L'air y possède une netteté cristalline, chargée de l'odeur des conifères et de la terre humide, rappelant la ténacité de ceux qui ont choisi d'établir ici leurs foyers. Les gestes quotidiens se succèdent sans hâte, portés par le respect d'un environnement dont la beauté austère impose une forme de recueillement, loin du tumulte des cités lointaines.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude.
