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-de-Caxton.
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-de-Caxton is a municipality in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton; Maskinongé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Saint-Élie-de-Caxton is located at 46.4833°N, 72.9667°W.
Saint-Élie-de-Caxton sits cradled within the rugged, forested terrain of the Mauricie region, defined by the prominence of La Petite Montagne rising against the horizon. It lies 2.6 km south-east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 135°T), and is situated 14.0 km east of Saint-Alexis-des-Monts. The air here holds a distinct crispness, especially as dusk light settles over the nearby Lac à la Vase, turning the water into a dark, polished mirror that reflects the encroaching pines. While the Rivière Saint-Louis flows steadily about 6 km away, the landscape retains a quiet, grounded solitude that feels ancient and undisturbed. Residents observe the seasonal shifts in the quality of the light, which catches the granite outcrops and deep greens of the woods with a clarity that sharpens the edges of the world. Even at a distance of 17 km, the presence of the Chutes de Shawinigan lingers in the collective consciousness of the region, and the expansive reaches of Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie, located 35 km away, anchor the wilder character of the surrounding geography. Saint-Élie-de-Caxton maintains a character shaped by its deep roots in the land and a long-standing history of forestry and agriculture that supported early settlers. The local economy persists through a blend of small-scale industry and a tourism sector that celebrates the folklore and storytelling traditions for which Saint-Élie-de-Caxton has become known. Every day, the pace of life follows the cycles of the sun and the needs of the fields, fostering a culture that values the exchange of tales as much as the labor of the harvest. Whether tending to gardens or managing local workshops, the people carry on with a steady, deliberate movement that matches the slow, tectonic patience of the hills. This persistence of custom provides a sturdy frame for the daily activities of the inhabitants, ensuring that the identity of the place remains clear and singular.
Saint-Élie-de-Caxton déploie ses terres vallonnées dans une lumière de fin de journée qui semble suspendre le cours des heures sur les champs labourés. Non loin de là, La Petite Montagne dresse son profil familier sous un ciel qui, à mesure que le crépuscule s'installe, prend des teintes d'ardoise et de miel. Le Lac à la Vase, paisible miroir aux reflets sombres, exhale une fraîcheur humide qui monte vers les boisés, tandis que la Rivière Saint-Louis serpente discrètement à travers les bas-fonds, charriant les échos d'une histoire agricole façonnée par les mains robustes des colons. L'esprit des habitants de Saint-Élie-de-Caxton se nourrit de cette patience propre aux terroirs où la terre exige une présence constante. Si les Chutes de Shawinigan grondent à une certaine distance, marquant le relief d'une force plus impétueuse, et que le Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie impose sa vaste stature sylvestre à l'horizon, le quotidien ici se mesure au rythme lent des récoltes et au silence des matins givrés. Chaque sentier invite à une redécouverte du sol, dans une simplicité qui refuse l'agitation du monde, préférant la persistance des traditions et la camaraderie silencieuse des soirées partagées autour des foyers.
