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-René.
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-René is a parish municipality in Saint-René; Beauce-Sartigan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-René is located at 46.0136°N, 70.6185°W.
Saint-René settles into the rolling terrain near the Pic Rond, where the land rises to meet a sky that often turns the color of bruised plums at dusk. It lies 12.8 km south-south-east of Saint-Georges, QC (from Saint-Georges, QC: bearing 162°T), and is situated 6.7 km north-north-east of Saint-Martin. The Rivière Chaudière flows with a persistent, low-frequency hum through the lowlands, shaping the way the light catches the morning mist as it clings to the valley floor. To the north, the silence of the woods is punctuated by the distant, hidden presence of Lac du Club de Conservation, a quiet body of water resting five kilometers from the village center. Further afield, the landscape shifts toward the rugged terrain surrounding Les Sept Chutes, which lies thirteen kilometers away and marks the horizon with the suggestion of falling water. Here, the air carries a crisp, mineral sharpness that seems to sharpen the senses of anyone walking the roads, making the simple act of breathing feel like a deliberate engagement with the earth. Saint-René maintains a character defined by the steady work of those who have long cultivated the surrounding fields and forests. The local economy persists in a quiet alignment with the demands of the soil and the seasonal shifts of the Beauce-Sartigan region, favoring an industry that respects the slow growth of the timber and the endurance of the crops. Life in Saint-René moves with the gravity of a place that understands its own boundaries, where the people find satisfaction in the repetition of daily tasks and the reliability of their neighbors. There is a distinct beauty in the way the local architecture sits low against the horizon, unpretentious and firm, as if the buildings themselves were grown from the land rather than placed upon it. Every season brings a shift in the quality of the light, turning the fields into vast, glowing plates of gold before the deep, insulating snows arrive to hold the silence of the winter months.
Saint-René s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres hautes de la Beauce-Sartigan, là où les ondulations du terrain rencontrent la présence familière du Pic Rond. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose une teinte ambrée sur les champs cultivés, révélant la patience des hommes qui ont appris à lire la terre entre les rangs de cultures et les forêts environnantes. Tout près, la Rivière Chaudière poursuit sa course lente, façonnant le caractère de Saint-René par ses méandres et son souffle frais qui apaise les soirées estivales. À quelques kilomètres, le silence des eaux du Lac du Club de Conservation invite à une contemplation solitaire, tandis que le fracas lointain des Sept Chutes rappelle la vigueur indomptable des eaux sauvages de la région. L'économie locale, bâtie sur une ténacité agricole héritée des premiers défricheurs, se manifeste par des fermes aux silhouettes robustes qui ponctuent l'horizon sous un ciel immense. Les résidents partagent un attachement profond pour cette topographie exigeante, trouvant dans la rudesse des hivers et la douceur des récoltes une raison de demeurer fidèles à ce sol. Chaque chemin menant vers les hauteurs offre une vue imprenable sur cet espace où la nature demeure la compagne constante des travaux quotidiens.
