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-François-Ouest.
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-François-Ouest is a administrative sector in Beauceville; Beauce-Centre, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saint-François-Ouest is located at 46.2000°N, 70.8167°W.
Saint-François-Ouest anchors itself within the rolling terrain of Beauce-Centre, where the earth rises toward the prominence of Pic Rond. It lies 14.1 km north-west of Saint-Georges, QC (from Saint-Georges, QC: bearing 307°T), and is situated 3.5 km west-south-west of Beauceville. The Rivière Chaudière carves a persistent path through the valley, its current dictating the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons as light retreats behind the ridges at dusk. Beyond the immediate banks, the landscape stretches toward the stillness of Lac Sartigan, located some six kilometers away, while the distant, cascading waters of Les Sept Chutes lie thirteen kilometers further along the regional horizon. The air here holds a distinct, crisp weight, carrying the scent of damp soil and the cool breath of the river, defining the quiet solitude that persists even as the sun climbs above the treeline. Settlement in Saint-François-Ouest grew from the necessity of navigating the river’s reach, establishing an economy long rooted in the rhythms of the land and the industry of the water. Generations have worked these slopes and shores, maintaining a character defined by the practical demands of Beauceville and the surrounding rural expanse. While modern life moves with its own gravity, the presence of the Rivière Chaudière remains a constant, shaping the daily movements of those who live and labor within its sight. The heritage of the region persists in the quiet endurance of the homesteads, where the legacy of past labor informs the steady, grounded pace of the present day.
Saint-François-Ouest déploie ses terres fertiles le long des méandres de la Rivière Chaudière, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers les hauteurs du Pic Rond. Dans ce secteur de la Beauce, le sol garde la mémoire des labeurs agricoles qui ont façonné les rangs et les horizons, offrant aux regards une étendue où la lumière du soir semble stagner, dorant les champs d'une clarté presque liquide. La proximité des Sept Chutes, situées à treize kilomètres, et la présence plus lointaine du Lac Sartigan, à six kilomètres, ponctuent un territoire dont la topographie exige une attention constante à la rigueur du climat. Saint-François-Ouest conserve l'allure d'une contrée où le travail de la terre demeure le pivot des existences, loin des agitations urbaines, dans une solitude habitée par le sifflement du vent sur les pentes. Les habitations se groupent avec une simplicité austère, tournées vers le cours d'eau qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des échanges et la survie des premiers défricheurs. Ici, le ciel paraît plus vaste, écrasant parfois les frondaisons, tandis que la terre sombre, lourde de ses cycles, impose une présence indéniable à ceux qui habitent ce versant de la vallée.

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.
