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-Nicolas-Est.
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-Nicolas-Est is a locality in Saint-Colomban; La Rivière-du-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saint-Nicolas-Est is located at 45.7500°N, 74.0833°W.
Saint-Nicolas-Est rests within a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Rivière du Nord and the rising presence of the Colline Lafontaine. It lies 6.8 km west-south-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 246°T), and is situated 11.5 km north-north-west of Mirabel. The terrain around Saint-Nicolas-Est reveals itself through the subtle interplay of elevation and water, where the air often holds a crisp, cool clarity as it drifts across the nearby Lac des Sources. While the distant Chutes de New Glasgow and the broader reaches of Parc national d'Oka define the horizon, the immediate character of the land is shaped by the proximity of the river, which acts as a slow, rhythmic pulse through the woods and clearings. At dusk, the light catches the moisture rising from the low-lying hollows, casting long, translucent shadows against the slopes of the Colline Lafontaine. The pace of life here adheres to the seasonal turns of the Quebec countryside, where the economy remains tied to the stewardship of the land and the modest, steady industry of those who make their homes among the trees. History in Saint-Nicolas-Est is found in the quiet maintenance of local homesteads and the enduring connection to the forest, a place where the stillness is punctuated only by the wind moving through the canopy or the occasional sound of the Rivière du Nord navigating its course.
Saint-Nicolas-Est s’éveille sous une lumière dorée qui caresse les pentes douces de la Colline Lafontaine, là où les terres basses rencontrent le souffle frais de la Rivière du Nord. Le paysage, modelé par une patience géologique, offre un relief où la terre nourricière se déploie avec une sobriété tranquille, loin des agitations urbaines. À peine à un kilomètre, le Lac des Sources capte les reflets changeants du ciel, agissant comme un miroir immobile pour les forêts environnantes. La vie à Saint-Nicolas-Est suit le rythme lent des bourrasques qui descendent vers les lointaines Chutes de New Glasgow, tandis que l’horizon, étendu jusqu’au Parc national d'Oka, dessine une ligne pure contre l'azur. Les habitants habitent ce sol avec une retenue pudique, héritiers d'une relation étroite avec les éléments qui dictent, depuis longtemps, la modestie des cultures et la persistance des foyers. Ici, l’air possède une densité particulière, chargée d'humidité et de senteurs boisées, rappelant à quiconque s'y attarde que la nature dicte encore les lois du quotidien. La présence constante de la Rivière du Nord structure cet espace, offrant un murmure ininterrompu qui accompagne les jours ordinaires, transformant chaque après-midi en une expérience de sérénité absolue.

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.
