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-Chrétien.
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-Chrétien is a hamlet in Saint-Siméon; Charlevoix-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Chrétien is located at 47.8119°N, 69.9344°W.
Saint-Chrétien rests upon the rugged, high-reaching shores of the St. Lawrence, where the land tilts sharply toward the tides and the air carries a perennial, salt-sharp chill. It lies 4.5 km west-south-west of Saint-Siméon, QC (from Saint-Siméon, QC: bearing 238°T), and is situated 13.0 km south of Secteur de Port-aux-Quilles. The Rivière du Port au Persil carves its path through the terrain, meeting the great river near the jagged promontory known as Le Button. Inland, the topography shifts into quiet, forested stretches where Lac des Rats Musqués holds a mirror to the sky, and the distant, thunderous descent of Chutes Saint-Georges marks the deeper wilderness. At dusk, the light here pulls long, violet shadows across the cliffside, turning the water into hammered lead and silencing the wind until only the rhythmic pulse of the St. Lawrence against the stone remains. Life in Saint-Chrétien holds to the steady, traditional patterns of Saint-Siméon and the wider Charlevoix-Est, where the economy has long drawn sustenance from the forest and the shifting bounty of the river. The settlement emerged from the persistence of families who cleared the rocky slopes to build homesteads that face the horizon, their architecture defined by steeply pitched roofs built to shed the heavy weight of winter snow. While modern transit routes have opened the region, Saint-Chrétien preserves a solitary, stoic character, shaped by the proximity of the water and the necessity of self-reliance. Residents here observe a quiet focus, moving through their days with the measured competence of those who know the temperament of the tides and the sudden, bracing bite of the northern wind.
Saint-Chrétien s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le terrain s’incline avec une douceur mélancolique vers les eaux froides du large, tout près du Button. La lumière du soir y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui semble suspendre le souffle des marées sur les grèves de la Rivière du Port au Persil. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac des Rats Musqués dissimule son miroir sombre dans le repli des terres, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Saint-Georges scande, dans une solitude minérale, le rythme immuable de ce territoire. L’histoire de Saint-Chrétien s’est écrite dans cette patience laborieuse des gens du rivage, entre les terres agricoles qui s’élèvent vers les hauteurs et le travail incessant de la mer qui façonne les esprits autant que les roches. La rigueur du climat dicte ici une existence sobre, une manière de demeurer humble face à l’immensité du fleuve dont le courant charrie des échos de navigation ancienne. Dans les maisons tournées vers le grand large, la vie se déroule sans artifice, portée par une mémoire qui se transmet dans le silence des soirées d’hiver, lorsque le gel fige les méandres de la Rivière du Port au Persil dans une immobilité absolue.

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.
