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 Saint-Alban.
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.

Saint-Alban is a municipality in Saint-Alban; Portneuf, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Saint-Alban is located at 46.7180°N, 72.0776°W.
Saint-Alban rests in the quiet embrace of the Portneuf landscape, cradled by the steady, flowing presence of the Rivière Sainte-Anne. It lies 26.4 km west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 281°T), and is situated 4.7 km north-north-west of Saint-Marc-des-Carrières. The air here holds a crisp clarity, particularly near the La Montagne, where the light at dusk catches the rising slopes and turns the horizon into a soft, bruised violet. Beyond the immediate settlement, the terrain shifts toward the stillness of Lac Bidouche, resting some eight kilometers away, while the distant, rushing energy of Chutes à Gorry marks the land ten kilometers to the north. Life in Saint-Alban moves with the gravity of the river, a constant companion that has long defined the edges of the fields and the depth of the valley. Agriculture and the enduring work of the forest have long provided the foundation for the local economy, grounding the people of Saint-Alban in the cycles of the seasons. The architecture of the village reflects a practical heritage, where sturdy homes face the road and the surrounding timberlands offer both industry and shelter. Even as the days turn, the hum of daily life persists—a blend of mechanical activity and the persistent, low-frequency sound of water moving over stone. Whether tending to the land or navigating the paths toward the nearby water features, the residents maintain a connection to the geography that is as functional as it is deep, keeping the spirit of the region present in every quiet task.
Saint-Alban s'étire avec une patience tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière Sainte-Anne, là où les terres basses de Portneuf semblent retenir le souffle des derniers rayons solaires. La lumière décline sur ce sol façonné par une longue tradition agricole, tandis que La Montagne impose sa présence silencieuse, sentinelle minérale veillant sur les travaux des hommes. L'air y possède une netteté particulière, chargée de l'humidité vive qui remonte des méandres du cours d'eau, façonnant le caractère de Saint-Alban comme une terre de labeur et de persistance. À quelques lieues de là, la géographie se complexifie dans une solitude boisée, où le Lac Bidouche attend dans le secret des terres, rejoint par le fracas lointain des Chutes à Gorry qui ponctue le silence des bois environnants. Les façades des demeures rappellent une histoire bâtie sur l'exploitation des ressources forestières et le rythme des récoltes, marquant le passage des journées par le clocher et le murmure constant de la Rivière Sainte-Anne. Ici, la rudesse du relief et la générosité des plaines cultivées dictent une existence sobre, où chaque habitant reconnaît dans la texture du terrain le labeur de ses ancêtres et la promesse d'une continuité simple, loin de l'agitation des grands centres urbains.

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.
