Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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-Sylvestre.
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-Sylvestre is a municipality in Saint-Sylvestre; Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Saint-Sylvestre is located at 46.3650°N, 71.2229°W.
Saint-Sylvestre rests within a landscape defined by the modest, insistent rise of the Colline Harvey and the persistent, low-voiced passage of the Rivière Filkars. It lies 17.5 km west-south-west of Sainte-Marie, QC (from Sainte-Marie, QC: bearing 242°T), and is situated 12.6 km west-south-west of Saint-Elzéar. The air here carries a clean, sharp clarity that clarifies the edges of the fields, while the light at dusk settles with a heavy, bruised violet hue over the terrain. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape holds its secrets in the distance, where the stillness of Lac du Radar sits seven kilometers away and the Chutes de Sainte-Agathe tumble through the woods fifteen kilometers from the center. The ground itself feels ancient and patient, offering a quiet depth to those who walk its paths under the shifting Quebec sky. The history of Saint-Sylvestre reflects a long-standing commitment to the land, where the local economy finds its roots in the stubborn vitality of agriculture and the seasonal shifts of the forest. Families have tended these acres for generations, balancing the demands of the soil with a quiet, observant presence that marks the character of the inhabitants. Life moves with a deliberate pace, punctuated by the seasonal work of harvesting and the maintenance of homesteads that look out toward the horizon. Even as modern demands press inward, the people maintain a distinct identity that values the tangible over the abstract, finding beauty in the simple resilience of a fence line or the steady, reliable flow of the Rivière Filkars through the heart of the parish.
Saint-Sylvestre s'étire sur les hauteurs accidentées de Lotbinière, là où les terres agricoles épousent les pentes douces de la Colline Harvey. Le regard plonge vers les méandres de la Rivière Filkars, dont le murmure constant accompagne le labeur des cultivateurs depuis les premiers défrichements. À quelques lieues de là, les Chutes de Sainte-Agathe offrent un spectacle de force tranquille, tandis que le Lac du Radar, perché dans sa solitude, capte les dernières lueurs d'un soleil déclinant sur les crêtes. Saint-Sylvestre porte en elle une rudesse bienveillante, façonnée par un climat qui exige des hommes une endurance semblable à celle des souches tenaces arrachées au sol. Ici, les hivers transforment les champs en étendues immaculées où le vent s'engouffre avec une vigueur singulière. La vie s'y organise selon le rythme lent des récoltes et la pérennité des traditions familiales, forgeant une identité liée à la terre arable et à la forêt environnante. Sous le ciel immense, les bâtisses de bois semblent attendre le retour des beaux jours avec une patience minérale, garantissant que chaque nouveau matin sur Saint-Sylvestre conserve cette noblesse simple, faite de labeur et de silence.
