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-à-Pierre.
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-à-Pierre is a municipality in Rivière-à-Pierre; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-à-Pierre is located at 46.9969°N, 72.1762°W.
Rivière-à-Pierre sits nestled within the rugged embrace of the Canadian Shield, where the land rises into the prominence of the Montagne à Jeannot. It lies 49.1 km north-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 317°T), and is situated 28.6 km west-north-west of Saint-Raymond. The cold, clear currents of the Rivière Blanche carve a path through the terrain, holding the morning light in a way that turns the surface of the water into polished silver. Nearby, the quiet presence of Lac Morasse reflects the surrounding timber, providing a stillness that contrasts with the persistent, low-frequency rush of the Rivière Blanche. As dusk settles over the high ground, the air grows sharp and carries the scent of damp stone and pine, grounding Rivière-à-Pierre in a landscape that feels both immense and deeply intimate. The history of Rivière-à-Pierre remains anchored to the extraction of the earth itself, as the granite quarries have long defined the reach and labor of the people who settled here. Men once moved the heavy, grey stone that built significant architecture far beyond these borders, and the echoes of that industry linger in the sturdy foundations of local homes. A few kilometers away, the Chutes de la Marmite draw the eye with their persistent motion, serving as a reminder of the power inherent in the local waterways. Life in Rivière-à-Pierre follows the changing seasons with a quiet focus, where the work of the day often concludes with the sight of shadows lengthening across the granite outcrops, marking the steady passage of time in a place defined by its enduring stone.
Rivière-à-Pierre s'étire avec une noblesse minérale le long des rives de la Rivière Blanche, là où la pierre de taille a forgé l'identité profonde de ses habitants. À l'ombre protectrice de la Montagne à Jeannot, le paysage se déploie dans une lumière dorée qui semble suspendre le cours des heures, révélant la texture brute du granit qui a bâti tant d'édifices illustres. Non loin, le Lac Morasse étend sa surface calme, offrant un miroir immobile au ciel, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de la Marmite rythme la respiration du terrain. Rivière-à-Pierre conserve ce caractère singulier, celui des terres où le travail des tailleurs de pierre a jadis donné son souffle à chaque foyer, transformant la rudesse du sol en une forme de persévérance silencieuse. L'air y possède une fraîcheur limpide, chargée d'une odeur de sève et de roche ancienne, invitant à une contemplation que seule la précision des gestes quotidiens parvient à troubler. Sous le regard immuable de la Montagne à Jeannot, le bourg maintient une dignité rare, celle des lieux qui savent que leur existence repose sur la solidité de leur propre matière, loin des agitations vaines, dans cette harmonie particulière où le minéral rencontre enfin l'eau vive de la Rivière Blanche.
