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-Élie.
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-Élie is a post office in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton; Maskinongé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saint-Élie is located at 46.4906°N, 72.9603°W.
Saint-Élie rests in the quiet embrace of the rolling terrain near the Mont Georges, where the horizon holds the weight of ancient, weathered stone. It lies 2.5 km east-south-east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 114°T), and is situated 14.7 km east-north-east of Saint-Alexis-des-Monts. The air here carries a crisp, lingering coolness, catching the golden light of late afternoon as it settles over the slopes and deepens the shadows against the rising ground. Just a short distance away, the quiet stillness of Lac à la Vase reflects the changing sky, offering a mirror to the clouds that drift over the surrounding woods. Saint-Élie remains defined by this proximity to the land, where the presence of the Mont Georges dictates the flow of the wind and the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons. The character of Saint-Élie finds its roots in a long history of working the land, where the local economy has transitioned from the heavy labor of early settlement to a focus on artisanal crafts and the quiet vitality of rural enterprise. Residents maintain a deep connection to their surroundings, mindful of the distant rush of the Rivière Saint-Louis some seven kilometers away or the more distant, thunderous energy of the Chutes de Shawinigan. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the vast expanse of Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie guards the northern wild, influencing the way life unfolds in Saint-Élie with a sense of immense, protected space. Daily life moves with a steady, grounded purpose, marked by the smell of woodsmoke in the autumn and the sound of footsteps on frost-hardened earth.
Saint-Élie s'étire sur un terrain vallonné où la lumière du crépuscule semble s'attarder sur les pentes du Mont Georges, enveloppant les terres d'une clarté dorée et immobile. À proximité, le Lac à la Vase offre une étendue d'eau calme dont la surface renvoie le ciel changeant, tandis que la Rivière Saint-Louis serpente plus loin, marquant le relief de son tracé immuable. Les habitants de Saint-Élie perpétuent un mode de vie forgé par l'agriculture et le travail du bois, puisant dans le sol une résilience héritée des premiers défrichements. Le paysage, à la fois austère et accueillant, est ponctué par le souvenir lointain des Chutes de Shawinigan dont le fracas se devine dans la mémoire collective, rappelant la puissance des eaux domptées par l'industrie régionale. Plus au nord, les vastes étendues protégées du Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie dessinent une frontière sauvage, imposant au regard une nature brute et préservée. Chaque chemin qui s'enfonce dans les bois révèle une humeur particulière, celle d'une terre où le silence n'est jamais vide, mais habité par le souffle des arbres et la patience des saisons qui dictent le rythme des travaux et des jours.

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.
