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 Sainte-Sophie.
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-Sophie is a municipality in Sainte-Sophie; La Rivière-du-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Sainte-Sophie is located at 45.8167°N, 73.9000°W.
Sainte-Sophie rests within a landscape defined by the modest rise of the Colline Lafontaine and the quiet, persistent flow of the Rivière Jourdain. It lies 9.3 km east-north-east of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 60°T), and is situated 15.4 km north of Blainville. The land here holds a particular stillness, where the low sun at dusk catches the surface of the water, turning the Rivière Jourdain into a ribbon of hammered silver. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain is marked by the proximity of Lac Clearview, located just 2 km away, and the notable presence of the Chutes de New Glasgow, which lie 3 km distant. While the broader horizon includes the expanse of Parc national d'Oka at a distance of 39 km, the immediate character of Sainte-Sophie is shaped by its intimate connection to these local waterways and the rolling, forested contours that define the regional topography. Agriculture and a steady, modest pace of industry have long defined the character of Sainte-Sophie, reflecting a history grounded in the practical use of the land. Residents navigate their days with a focus on the seasonal shifts that dictate the rhythm of life, from the clearing of early snows to the harvest of the surrounding fields. The air here carries a crisp, clean quality, often scented by the nearby timber and the damp, cooling breath of the Rivière Jourdain as it moves through the lowlands. Visitors and locals alike find a certain grounded beauty in the way the light lingers over the Colline Lafontaine, highlighting the simple, enduring architecture of a place that values its distance from the frantic pulse of larger urban centers.
Sainte-Sophie se déploie avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses qui bordent la Rivière Jourdain, là où le sol garde encore le souvenir des défrichements anciens. À l’approche du crépuscule, la lumière s’étire sur les ondulations de la Colline Lafontaine, colorant les champs d’une teinte ocre qui semble suspendre le souffle des habitants dans le silence du soir. La vie à Sainte-Sophie s'ordonne suivant la patience des cycles agricoles et le murmure constant de l’eau qui circule entre les pierres. À quelques encablures, le Lac Clearview offre une surface lisse, miroir des pins, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de New Glasgow rappelle la force vive de cette géographie accidentée. Bien que le Parc national d’Oka demeure une présence familière à l’horizon, le quotidien se concentre ici, dans ce rapport direct à la terre nourricière et aux forêts qui encerclent les habitations. Les traditions s'y transmettent sans bruit, portées par une mémoire qui privilégie la solidité du geste et la permanence des saisons. Chaque sentier, chaque tournant près des rives, révèle une existence façonnée par cet équilibre entre l’effort du labeur et la contemplation d’une nature qui impose son rythme souverain à ceux qui l’habitent.

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.
