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-Henri-de-Taillon.
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.

Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon stands as a nearby guardian of the wilder reaches, its presence ensuring that the natural character of the shoreline remains defined by the interplay of wind and sand. The air here holds a crisp, clean clarity, often carrying the scent of damp earth and the subtle, sharp tang of the lake. The history of Saint-Henri-de-Taillon is anchored in the persistent labor of those who cleared the land and harnessed the local resources for survival. Agriculture and forestry remain the steady pulse of the local economy, with the daily activities of the residents mirroring the seasonal shifts of the climate.

This locality persists as a place of enduring function, where the heritage of the early settlers continues to inform the simple, honest work of the present day.
