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 Shawbridge.
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.

Shawbridge is a village in Prévost; La Rivière-du-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Shawbridge is located at 45.8714°N, 74.0792°W.
Shawbridge rests where the land begins to rise toward the heights of the Mont Sainte-Anne, anchored firmly along the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière du Nord. It lies 12.2 km north-north-west of Saint-Jérôme, QC (from Saint-Jérôme, QC: bearing 331°T), and is situated 6.3 km east-south-east of Saint-Sauveur. The water of the Rivière du Nord carves a passage through the terrain, its surface catching the bruised violet light of dusk as the temperature drops against the nearby slopes. Only two kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Blondin offers a quiet contrast to the river’s steady momentum, holding the sky in a mirror of deep, dark glass. Historically, Shawbridge served as a vital junction for those moving through the interior, its economy shaped by the raw timber and the seasonal pulse of the surrounding woods. While the distant roar of the Chutes de New Glasgow lies sixteen kilometers away, the local character remains defined by the immediate proximity of the river, which once powered the mills and movement of early settlers. Today, the pace of life in Shawbridge follows the slow turn of the seasons, where the damp, earthy scent of the riverbank rises to meet the sharp air of the hills. People here move with a deliberate attention to the landscape, acknowledging the weight of the water and the rising ground as the bedrock of their daily existence.
Shawbridge se déploie avec une retenue élégante sur les flancs du Mont Sainte-Anne, là où la lumière décline en teintes de miel sur les ondulations du terrain. La Rivière du Nord sculpte le sol de son cours vigoureux, imposant un rythme régulier aux journées qui s'étirent entre les pentes escarpées et les zones plus apaisées. À quelques kilomètres, le silence du Lac Blondin offre un contraste saisissant avec l’énergie des eaux qui, plus loin, franchissent les Chutes de New Glasgow dans un fracas lointain. L’histoire de Shawbridge demeure lisible dans la topographie des lieux, marqués par une vocation agricole ancienne qui a su composer avec la rudesse climatique des Laurentides. Les habitants entretiennent une relation intime avec cette terre où chaque souffle d'air apporte la fraîcheur des hauteurs proches. La vie quotidienne y suit la course du soleil, marquant les heures par le passage des ombres sur les façades restées simples. Dans cet environnement où la nature domine, les structures humaines se font discrètes, laissant toute la place aux mouvements des saisons et aux bruissements de la forêt qui encercle les habitations. Shawbridge conserve ainsi une dignité particulière, celle d'un espace géographique qui n'a jamais cherché à dompter la vigueur de ses éléments, mais à s'y glisser avec une patience toute naturelle.

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.
