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-Claude.
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-Claude is a municipality in Saint-Claude; Le Val-Saint-François, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Claude is located at 45.6667°N, 71.9833°W.
Saint-Claude sits nestled within the Butte à Moffat, a quiet elevation that shapes the character of the surrounding terrain. It lies 12.8 km south-south-west of Val-des-Sources, QC (from Val-des-Sources, QC: bearing 196°T), and is situated 12.7 km east of Richmond. The air in Saint-Claude holds a crisp, earthen clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon as the light fades into a deep, bruised violet. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape reveals its hidden connections through the presence of the Rivière Watopeka, which flows some 8 km from the center, and the nearby Lac Saint-Georges, resting at a similar distance. Further out, the rugged drop of the Chutes à Kendall lies about 9 km away, marking the land with a persistent, low-frequency hum that defines the local geography. These features anchor Saint-Claude in a quiet, deliberate geography where the seasons turn with a visible, heavy weight on the fields and the woodlots. The history of Saint-Claude persists in the sturdy architecture of its older buildings and the long-held practices of those who work the land. Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with the daily life of Saint-Claude governed by the needs of the harvest and the maintenance of the homesteads that define the Butte à Moffat. Residents move through their days with a focus on the immediate tasks of the season, maintaining a continuity that has persisted for generations. There is a distinct, quiet pride in the way the local people manage their acreage, finding a steady purpose in the soil that provides for them, far removed from the frantic pace of larger centers.
Saint-Claude s'étire avec une tranquille assurance sur les hauteurs accidentées de la Butte à Moffat, là où le sol semble retenir la chaleur des derniers rayons solaires. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes douces, révélant la texture d'un paysage façonné par une longue patience agricole. À huit kilomètres de distance, la Rivière Watopeka serpente dans une vallée discrète, tandis que les eaux immobiles du Lac Saint-Georges reflètent la silhouette des bois environnants. Plus loin, à neuf kilomètres, le tumulte des Chutes à Kendall impose une ponctuation sonore à ce calme minéral. L'identité de Saint-Claude se déploie dans cet équilibre entre les terres cultivées et la rudesse du relief, soulignant une persévérance silencieuse héritée des premiers défrichements. Les chemins qui parcourent ce secteur dessinent des lignes simples entre les fermes et les escarpements, liant les habitants à une terre dont ils connaissent chaque inclinaison. Ici, le vent apporte parfois une fraîcheur humide, rappelant la proximité des cours d'eau qui rythment les limites de l'horizon. Cette terre, loin des grands centres, conserve une dignité austère, magnifiée par la clarté changeante qui baigne le Val-Saint-François chaque fois que le jour décline.
