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-Praxède.
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-Praxède is a parish municipality in Sainte-Praxède; Les Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Sainte-Praxède is located at 45.9018°N, 71.2556°W.
Sainte-Praxède rests firmly within a rugged expanse defined by the rising presence of the Colline Brousseau and the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière Saint-François. It lies 21.1 km south of Thetford Mines, QC (from Thetford Mines, QC: bearing 170°T), and is situated 7.9 km east of Disraeli. The terrain here holds a particular weight, where the earth tilts toward the water and the air carries the sharp, clean scent of damp stone and hemlock. At dusk, the light catches the uneven slopes of the Colline Brousseau, turning the shadows into deep pools of violet that seem to anchor the land against the encroaching dark. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape opens toward the stillness of Lac du Troisième, situated five kilometers away, where the water mirrors the sky with an intensity that demands silence from those who stand upon its banks. Life in Sainte-Praxède follows the quiet demands of the seasons, shaped by a history of working the land and navigating the surrounding forests. The proximity to Parc national de Frontenac, also lying five kilometers from the center, ensures that the wild character of the region remains a constant presence in the daily lives of those who reside here. Local industry has long relied on the rhythms of the forest and the fertile soil near the Rivière Saint-François, creating a character marked by self-reliance and a deep familiarity with the changing temper of the weather. Even as the modern world pushes at the edges of the province, Sainte-Praxède maintains a focus on the immediate tasks of the day, finding a simple satisfaction in the woodsmoke that drifts from chimneys when the first frost settles over the fields.
Sainte-Praxède déploie son existence modeste sur les terres vallonnées qui s’étendent à l’ombre de la Colline Brousseau, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de plonger vers les méandres de la Rivière Saint-François. Dans cette contrée façonnée par les rigueurs du climat, la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde sur les champs, transformant les reliefs en silhouettes sombres qui veillent sur une économie longtemps tournée vers les travaux de la terre et l’exploitation forestière. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac du Troisième offre une étendue d’eau paisible qui semble absorber le silence des environs, tandis que la proximité immédiate du Parc national de Frontenac confère à Sainte-Praxède une dimension sauvage, presque archaïque. L’air y possède cette netteté particulière, une fraîcheur qui rappelle le passage des saisons sur les crêtes des Appalaches. Ici, les jours s’écoulent sans précipitation, rythmés par le travail des habitants qui maintiennent une présence humaine discrète face à l’immensité minérale et végétale. Les sentiers et les chemins de terre soulignent la topographie exigeante, rendant chaque déplacement perceptible comme une interaction directe avec le sol. Sainte-Praxède demeure ainsi une halte singulière, préservée dans son repli géographique, entre l’ondulation des hauteurs et le courant lent des eaux qui parcourent ce paysage austère.
