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-Benjamin.
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-Benjamin is a municipality in Saint-Benjamin; Les Etchemins, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Benjamin is located at 46.2833°N, 70.6000°W.
Saint-Benjamin occupies a quiet expanse of the Appalachian foothills, marked by the steady, persistent flow of the Rivière Famine. It lies 18.7 km north-north-east of Saint-Georges, QC (from Saint-Georges, QC: bearing 17°T), and is situated 15.5 km east-north-east of Beauceville. The terrain rises toward the slopes of the Pic Rond, where the air thins and cools, carrying the scent of damp earth and coniferous needles. Within a kilometer, the stillness of Lac à Busque offers a mirror to the passing clouds, its surface undisturbed except for the occasional ripple of a rising fish. As dusk settles, the light turns a bruised, soft violet against the ridges, grounding Saint-Benjamin in a landscape that feels ancient and indifferent to the passing of human hours. The history of Saint-Benjamin persists in the cleared fields and the enduring focus on agricultural labor that sustains the local economy. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the Chutes du Diable provide a sudden, sharp contrast to the pastoral calm, where the water gathers force and drops with a rhythmic roar that echoes against the stone. Life in Saint-Benjamin follows the changing seasons, marked by the preparation of the soil and the harvest that defines the seasonal cycle. Residents navigate the terrain with an intimate knowledge of the land, finding value in the solitude provided by the proximity of the woods and the persistent, low-voiced motion of the local waterways.
Saint-Benjamin s'étire sur les terres vallonnées des Etchemins, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers le cours sinueux de la Rivière Famine. À l'approche du crépuscule, une lumière dorée enveloppe le Pic Rond, soulignant la rudesse ancienne des pentes qui dominent les parcelles agricoles. Les habitants de Saint-Benjamin entretiennent un lien quotidien avec cette topographie exigeante, façonnée par un climat qui impose sa rigueur et sa clarté. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, les eaux calmes du Lac à Busque retiennent les derniers reflets du jour, tandis qu'à six kilomètres, le grondement sourd des Chutes du Diable rappelle la force vive de l'eau dans ces vallées encaissées. L'économie locale, portée par le travail de la terre et les activités forestières, rythme l'existence des familles qui occupent ces espaces depuis des générations. Ici, le silence de l'hiver n'est interrompu que par le souffle du vent sur les sommets arrondis et le mouvement lent des ombres s'allongeant sur les champs. La présence constante de la Rivière Famine, veine nourricière du territoire, assure une permanence qui transcende les époques, offrant aux regards une sérénité sauvage, propre à la rudesse et à la beauté singulière du paysage québécois.
