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-Éperlan.
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-Éperlan is a hamlet in Longue-Rive; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-Éperlan is located at 48.5808°N, 69.2222°W.
Rivière-Éperlan holds a quiet vigil where the land meets the cold, vast currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 20.5 km south-south-west of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 211°T), and is situated 10.6 km west-south-west of Rivière-Portneuf. The Rivière Éperlan carves its path through the dense, resilient timber of the region, its waters tumbling toward the estuary with a persistent, melodic urgency. Near the shore, the air carries a sharp, saline clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the spruce and fir, while the low light of late afternoon turns the river surface into a sheet of hammered pewter. Within this rugged terrain, Le Goulet sits about 5 km away, offering a narrow passage that defines the local navigation of the coast. Further inland, the white rush of Chutes Philias marks a point about 9 km away, where the gravity of the terrain asserts itself in a constant, foaming descent. The history of Rivière-Éperlan reflects the endurance required to inhabit the harsh northern reaches of La Haute-Côte-Nord. Life here moves in alignment with the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence, where local industry has long drawn sustenance from the bounty of the water and the depth of the surrounding woods. Families established their roots in these rocky hollows by balancing the unpredictable demands of the climate with a disciplined, day-to-day stewardship of their surroundings. Today, the cultural character of Rivière-Éperlan persists as a reflection of those early, solitary efforts, marked by a sturdy independence and a profound familiarity with the shifting tides. Even as the modern world intrudes, the residents maintain a quiet focus on the seasonal cycles that dictate the pulse of the shoreline, finding a steady, grounded peace in the cold, clear rhythm of the north.
Rivière-Éperlan s’étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du fleuve rencontre les eaux vives de la Rivière Éperlan. Le terrain, marqué par une rudesse élégante, s'ouvre sur un horizon vaste, sculpté par le ressac et le passage des marées qui dictent depuis toujours le rythme des jours. À quelques lieues, la présence du Goulet rappelle la fragilité des passages maritimes, tandis que les Chutes Philias déversent leur énergie indomptable dans le silence des bois environnants. Cette terre de la Haute-Côte-Nord conserve une mémoire faite de labeur et de patience, portée par des familles qui ont su lire, dans les courants du Saint-Laurent et la sinuosité de la Rivière Éperlan, les signes d’une subsistance tenace. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une clarté particulière, une intensité froide qui fait vibrer les textures du sol et la silhouette des arbres. Rivière-Éperlan demeure ainsi, fidèle à ses origines, un espace où le vent semble porter les récits des anciens, offrant aux rares visiteurs la sensation rare d'un monde qui n'a pas besoin de s'agiter pour exister pleinement dans sa solitude géographique.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
