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-Hedwidge.
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-Hedwidge is a municipality in Sainte-Hedwidge; Le Domaine-du-Roy, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Sainte-Hedwidge is located at 48.4833°N, 72.3500°W.
Sainte-Hedwidge rests upon the high, firm ground near the Colline Têtu, where the horizon stretches wide across the rolling topography of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. It lies 10.2 km west-south-west of Roberval, QC (from Roberval, QC: bearing 248°T), and is situated 12.9 km south-south-west of Vertuose. The air here carries a crisp, northern clarity, especially when the evening light catches the rising slopes and lingers against the dark silhouettes of the timber. Life moves in alignment with the seasons, marked by the proximity of Lac Blouin just 4 km away, which holds the stillness of the sky until the wind stirs its surface. Further out, the Deuxième bras des Iroquois winds through the lower terrain 8 km from the center, a subtle presence that defines the drainage of the local watershed. Even the distant expanse of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, located 37 km away, seems to inform the expansive, open character of the land surrounding Sainte-Hedwidge. The development of Sainte-Hedwidge grew from the persistence of those who cleared the dense woods to establish farms that still define the local economy and the quiet pulse of the fields. Agriculture remains the foundational work, with the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest dictating the pace of the days. The architecture of the village reflects a practical heritage, where sturdy homes and outbuildings stand against the weight of winter snows. Residents maintain a connection to the land that is both utilitarian and quiet, finding value in the cyclical chores and the maintenance of the homesteads. In the late afternoon, the shadows lengthen across the clearings, and the sound of the wind moving through the nearby treelines becomes the primary voice of the landscape.
Sainte-Hedwidge déploie ses terres hautes et fertiles sous une lumière boréale qui semble s'attarder sur les sillons des champs avant de glisser vers les pentes de la Colline Têtu. Ce territoire, façonné par un labeur agricole exigeant, puise sa force dans une terre généreuse qui, depuis les premiers défrichements, définit le caractère résolu de ceux qui y ont établi leurs foyers. À proximité, le Lac Blouin offre une étendue miroitante où le calme des eaux invite au recueillement, tandis que le Deuxième bras des Iroquois serpente discrètement à travers la topographie vallonnée, marquant le rythme lent d'une nature sauvage contenue. Bien que le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon exige un périple vers l'est pour découvrir les horizons sablonneux du grand large, Sainte-Hedwidge cultive une intimité particulière, celle d'un plateau où l'air vif du soir porte l'odeur du foin coupé et le souvenir des forêts d'autrefois. L'économie locale, tournée vers la terre, maintient un équilibre fragile entre les exigences modernes et la tradition des familles fondatrices. Dans ce décor où chaque colline et chaque repli de terrain raconte l'opiniâtreté humaine, Sainte-Hedwidge demeure un bastion de tranquillité, protégé par l'immensité du ciel québécois qui, au crépuscule, teinte les champs d'une nuance cuivrée, presque irréelle.
