Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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-Charles.
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-Charles is a village in Saint-Charles-de-Bourget; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Charles is located at 48.4925°N, 71.4069°W.
Saint-Charles rests quietly upon the rugged terrain near Le Grand Coteau, where the land rises to meet the expansive sky above the Saguenay River. It lies 19.2 km east-south-east of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 109°T), and is situated 14.6 km north-west of Jonquière. The air here holds a crisp, northern clarity, carrying the scent of damp earth and pine that deepens as the light fades into the long shadows of dusk. Within this landscape, Lac Onésime sits in tranquil repose about 4 km away, its surface often mirroring the shifting moods of the clouds. Further out, the dramatic descent of Chutes Murdock occurs about 13 km away, where the water’s persistent motion serves as a steady pulse for the surrounding woods. Saint-Charles maintains a character defined by this proximity to wilder elements, offering a stillness that seems to sharpen the senses and invite a slower observation of the changing seasons. Agriculture has long shaped the daily life of Saint-Charles, with fields that stretch toward the horizon and reflect the persistent labor of those who work the soil. The economy remains rooted in these traditional practices, fostering a culture of self-reliance that persists through the cold months. Residents move through their days with a quiet focus, tending to the requirements of the land while acknowledging the ancient presence of the Saguenay River that flows nearby. This locale preserves a sense of continuity, where the habits of the past remain visible in the way the land is managed and the straightforward hospitality offered to those passing through.
Saint-Charles déploie ses terres fertiles sur les hauteurs du Grand Coteau, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur gourmande sur les rives de la rivière Saguenay. Dans ce repli du monde, la terre garde le souvenir des premiers défrichements, quand les familles apprivoisaient ce sol rigoureux pour y faire lever les récoltes. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Onésime repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que plus loin, le fracas lointain des chutes Murdock ponctue la quiétude des boisés environnants. L’air y possède une netteté de cristal, une fraîcheur qui semble descendre directement des hauteurs pour envelopper les champs et les rangs. La vie à Saint-Charles se règle sur le rythme des travaux agricoles, une discipline douce imposée par la nature qui exige patience et constance. Chaque maison s'inscrit dans ce paysage avec une humilité certaine, les charpentes affrontant le gel avec une solidité héritée des bâtisseurs d'autrefois. Rien ici ne cherche l'éclat superflu, préférant la vérité brute d'une terre labourée et la présence rassurante des éléments naturels qui encadrent l'horizon. En cette fin de journée, Saint-Charles offre une sérénité qui semble suspendue, portée par le souffle du vent qui parcourt la vallée et unit chaque foyer à l'immensité du ciel québécois.
