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-du-Loup.
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.

The air here holds a distinct salt-tinged weight, a dampness that clings to the skin as the tide pulls against the banks of the Rivière du Loup. Within the quiet folds of the terrain, the water moves with a persistent, muscular urgency, carving its path toward the sea. Only a short distance away, the Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup spill over the rock with a roar that anchors the silence of the surrounding woods, while the stillness of Lac à Raphaël waits in the shadows of the nearby hills. The history of Rivière-du-Loup is anchored in the arrival of those who sought to harness the power of the currents and the bounty of the forest. As a regional hub, the economy has long been sustained by the pulse of commerce and the steady output of local industry, drawing strength from the proximity of the St. Lawrence. The streets reflect a pragmatic ambition, where the movement of goods and the maintenance of essential services define the daily labor of the people. This is a life defined by the necessity of the seasons, where the transition from the bite of winter to the thaw of spring dictates the ebb and flow of regional trade and provincial transport. Cultural life in Rivière-du-Loup centers on a shared appreciation for the stark beauty of the maritime horizon and the deep, enduring influence of the river. Landmarks such as the Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup serve as gathering points, drawing residents to the edge of the water to witness the raw force of the current. The local character is marked by a certain reserve, a stoic grace that mirrors the granite of the Mont Pilote and the vast, grey expanse of the St. Lawrence. Within the social circles of the region, the stories of those who have shaped the identity of the province are spoken of with a quiet pride, acknowledging a heritage that remains rooted in the harsh, beautiful reality of the coastal landscape.
Rivière-du-Loup s'étire avec une noblesse tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin se mêle aux effluves boisés qui descendent du Mont Pilote. La lumière du crépuscule y déploie des teintes d'ardoise et de cuivre, transformant l'horizon en une étendue mouvante. À quelques pas seulement, les Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup offrent un grondement permanent, une force vive qui rythme le quotidien des habitants et sculpte le caractère indomptable de ce sol. Plus loin, le Lac à Raphaël conserve un silence minéral, miroir sombre niché dans le relief qui surplombe la Rivière du Loup. L'histoire de Rivière-du-Loup se lit dans cette géographie abrupte, façonnée par les échanges maritimes et une industrie vigoureuse qui a su dompter la rudesse du climat. Les façades colorées des maisons grimpent le long des pentes, observant le passage des marées avec une constance héritée des anciens. Ici, chaque vent apporte une odeur de sel et de terre retournée, rappelant la ténacité des familles qui ont bâti leur existence entre ces eaux puissantes et les crêtes rocheuses du Mont Pilote, forgeant une identité forte, tournée vers le large tout en restant fidèle au murmure incessant de la Rivière du Loup.
