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-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud.
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-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud rests where the currents of the St. Lawrence meet the steady pull of the Rivière du Sud, a confluence that defines the low-lying horizon. It lies 16.3 km south-west of Montmagny, QC (from Montmagny, QC: bearing 228°T), and is situated 9.6 km north-north-east of Saint-Raphaël. The air here carries the sharp, salt-tinged scent of the estuary, and at dusk, the light clings to the Rocher Turgeon, turning the stone a bruised, reflective violet. Inland, the landscape shifts toward the quiet stillness of Lac à Cadrin, situated about 9 km away, where the water mirrors the dense, hushed growth of the surrounding woods. Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud maintains a character shaped by the long persistence of agriculture and the ebb of the tides that have guided local life for generations. The economy remains rooted in the productivity of the fields and the seasonal demands of the land, with the Rivière du Sud acting as a constant pulse through the heart of the parish. Life in Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud moves with the gravity of the seasons, where the work of the day is measured by the clarity of the morning sky and the resilience of those who tend the soil. The endurance of the local architecture, standing firm against the northern winds, reflects a history of settlement that values the quiet, steady labor of the harvest and the deep, communal knowledge of the river’s path.
Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud s’étire avec une patience ancienne le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du large rencontre la terre généreuse de la plaine. Dans ce pays de terres noires et de sillons profonds, le mouvement de la Rivière du Sud rythme le travail des hommes, ses eaux charriant la mémoire des défrichements qui ont bâti la force de la paroisse. Près du Rocher Turgeon, la lumière du couchant se dépose sur les berges avec une douceur métallique, soulignant le relief discret d'un horizon que le Lac à Cadrin, situé à quelques lieues de là, semble veiller dans le silence des bois environnants. Saint-François-de-la-Rivière-du-Sud puise sa vitalité dans une agriculture tenace, héritière d'une tradition où chaque grange et chaque champ cultivé racontent la persévérance des familles fondatrices. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'humidité du grand fleuve, et le quotidien y suit le cours naturel des marées et des récoltes. Les façades des maisons, tournées vers l'immensité mouvante, observent le passage des saisons sans jamais perdre le lien charnel qui les unit au sol limoneux, affirmant une identité façonnée par la proximité constante des éléments aquatiques et de la terre ferme.
