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 Ruisseau-Noir.
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.

Ruisseau-Noir is a hamlet in Sainte-Rita; Les Basques, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ruisseau-Noir is located at 47.9492°N, 68.8514°W.
Ruisseau-Noir cradles the base of the Montagne à Anna, where the land rises in stubborn, forested knuckles against the sky. It lies 29.7 km north of Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, QC (from Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, QC: bearing 5°T), and is situated 13.5 km east-north-east of Saint-Cyprien. The air here holds a sharp, clean weight, carrying the scent of damp earth and cooling stone as the light leans long and amber across the slopes toward dusk. Lac des Islets sits nearby, a quiet mirror tucked into the topography that catches the first stars before they settle over the higher ridges. While the Rivière Boisbouscache moves with its own purpose some distance away, Ruisseau-Noir remains defined by the immediate, intimate proximity of the mountain and the stillness of the surrounding woods. To the south, the expansive presence of Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata serves as a distant, wild boundary to the horizon, grounding the region in a deep, enduring sense of place. Life in Sainte-Rita and the surrounding Les Basques region has long been shaped by the stubborn resilience required to work the land and the timber. The local economy relies on the quiet persistence of those who know how to draw a living from the hills, maintaining a history of forestry and agriculture that predates the modern speed of the world beyond these slopes. Residents move with the caution of people who understand the temperament of the seasons, preferring the steady, predictable labor of the harvest or the woods to the noise of urban centers. Traditions here are kept close, passed through families who have watched the shadows shift across the Montagne à Anna for generations, ensuring that the character of Ruisseau-Noir persists as something solid, private, and profoundly steady.
Ruisseau-Noir s’étire sur un relief accidenté où la terre, modelée par des générations de labeur agricole, semble retenir la lumière déclinante de la Montagne à Anna. Ici, le ciel paraît plus vaste, surplombant les terres basses qui accueillent le murmure discret du Lac des Islets, situé à peine à un kilomètre de distance. Le passage de la Rivière Boisbouscache, qui serpente à huit kilomètres de là, imprègne l’air d’une fraîcheur humide, rappelant la proximité des vastes étendues sylvestres. À vingt-huit kilomètres, le Parc national du Lac-Témiscouata impose sa présence silencieuse, influençant le climat de ce secteur des Basques par une respiration boisée constante. La vie à Ruisseau-Noir se déploie dans une simplicité rigoureuse, façonnée par les cycles de la terre et une culture locale forgée par l’isolement serein des terres hautes. Les habitations se dispersent le long des routes secondaires, petites sentinelles face aux frimas, cultivant une résilience héritée des premiers défricheurs. La clarté du crépuscule glisse sur les champs, soulignant le grain du sol et l’immobilité des arbres, tandis que le silence, seulement rompu par le vent, souligne la permanence de ce paysage brut et authentique.

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.
