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 Sainte-Croix-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.

Sainte-Croix-Est is a hamlet in Sainte-Croix; Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Sainte-Croix-Est is located at 46.6308°N, 71.6536°W.
Sainte-Croix-Est occupies a prominent perch overlooking the St. Lawrence, where the land rises sharply toward the distinctive rise of Le Cabouron. It lies 7.9 km south-east of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 126°T), and is situated 14.4 km south-south-east of Pont-Rouge. The air here holds a crisp, maritime weight, sharpened by the vast expanse of the river that pulls the horizon into a clean, silver line. Beyond the immediate slopes, the landscape opens into a quiet agricultural expanse, though the presence of the Rivière du Petit Saut, winding its way through the nearby countryside, introduces a subtle, persistent moisture to the soil. As evening settles, the light stretches thin and pale over the fields, catching the edges of the distant Lac Demers, while the Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon stands further down the shoreline, guarding the river’s quiet, wooded margins. The settlement of Sainte-Croix-Est carries the steady, pragmatic character of a region built upon the cycles of the earth and the river’s trade. Life moves with a focus on the seasonal shifts of the fields and the rhythms of the provincial routes that bridge the valley to the world beyond. Local industry remains rooted in the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where generations have managed the land with a quiet persistence that ignores the clamor of the urban centers. In the stillness of the afternoon, one might catch the faint, rhythmic pulse of farm machinery or the distant movement of water against the bank, marking the passage of time in a place that values the weight of its own history.
Sainte-Croix-Est s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, où la lumière déclinante du soir semble suspendre le mouvement des eaux sombres contre les falaises du Cabouron. Les terres, façonnées par une agriculture patiente, portent les traces d’une tradition qui regarde le large avec une constance silencieuse, tandis que le vent du fleuve parcourt les plaines fertiles de Lotbinière. À quelques lieues vers l’intérieur des terres, la Rivière du Petit Saut trace un sillon discret dans le relief, et les eaux tranquilles du Lac Demers conservent les reflets d’un ciel changeant, loin du tumulte des routes principales. Plus loin encore, la Réserve écologique de Pointe-Platon protège un domaine où la nature reprend ses droits avec une rigueur sauvage, offrant un sanctuaire aux essences forestières qui dominent le paysage. Sainte-Croix-Est préserve ainsi cet équilibre entre les travaux de la terre et la présence imposante du cours d’eau qui a dicté, depuis les premiers établissements, le rythme lent et profond des jours. Chaque habitant connaît la texture particulière de ce sol argileux et la fraîcheur qui s'élève des berges lorsque l'été s'achève, laissant place à une solitude sereine sur les plateaux surplombant le grand courant.

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.
