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 Secteur de la Vallée.
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.

Secteur de la Vallée is a administrative sector in Lac-Croche; La Jacques-Cartier, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Secteur de la Vallée is located at 47.2970°N, 71.4407°W.
Secteur de la Vallée rests quietly along the banks of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier, where the land holds the cool, damp weight of the northern woods. It lies 43.3 km east-south-east of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 113°T), and is situated 33.8 km south-south-west of L'Étape. The terrain here rises in rugged contours, shaped by a persistent, ancient stillness that defines the surrounding wilderness. Nearby, the hidden waters of Lac Méplat mirror the shifting clouds, while the vast, protected reaches of Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier loom only eight kilometres away, casting a protective shadow over the valley’s narrow corridor. At dusk, the light loses its sharpness, turning the air into a thin, violet haze that clings to the riverbanks and softens the hard edges of the stone and pine. History in Secteur de la Vallée lingers in the enduring presence of the timber and the constant, low-frequency rush of the Rivière Jacques-Cartier, which has long dictated the flow of local life. The economy here moves in alignment with the seasons, favoring the quiet extraction and stewardship of the forest rather than the frantic pace of larger centers. People here find their footing in the practicalities of the landscape, maintaining a life that respects the solitude afforded by the dense tree cover and the steep, rocky slopes. The presence of nearby natural landmarks ensures that the wild remains a central participant in the daily affairs of the residents, who move with a deliberate purpose through a world that feels both expansive and deeply contained.
Secteur de la Vallée s'étire avec une langueur mélancolique sur les rives de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers l'aval. À cette latitude, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une teinte d'ambre sur les reliefs environnants, transformant le paysage en une étendue de velours sombre. Le Lac Méplat, blotti dans un repli du terrain à deux kilomètres de distance, offre un miroir immobile au ciel changeant, tandis que la présence du Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, situé à huit kilomètres, impose au regard une immensité sauvage qui domine l'horizon. L'air y possède une texture de givre léger, même au plus chaud des journées, rappelant aux habitants la rigueur du climat qui façonne les gestes quotidiens et l'architecture robuste des demeures. Dans Secteur de la Vallée, les échos de l'histoire industrielle se devinent encore dans les courbes des sentiers et la disposition des anciennes installations, héritages d'une époque tournée vers les richesses du sol. La vie suit ici le rythme lent des eaux, une existence portée par la proximité constante de la Rivière Jacques-Cartier, véritable pulsation de ce coin de terre où la nature impose sa loi silencieuse et souveraine.

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.
