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 Shawinigan-Nord.
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.

Shawinigan-Nord is a administrative sector in Shawinigan; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Shawinigan-Nord is located at 46.5667°N, 72.7667°W.
Shawinigan-Nord occupies a rugged reach of the Mont Georges, where the elevation rises to meet the shifting moods of the Quebec sky. It lies 18.7 km east-north-east of Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC (from Domaine-du-Lac-Paterson, QC: bearing 66°T), and is situated 3.3 km north-north-west of Shawinigan. The Rivière Shawinigan flows through this terrain, its currents carrying the cold clarity of the northern woods toward the nearby Chutes de Shawinigan. Within this elevated landscape, the light at dusk settles long and thin across the ridges, illuminating the deep green hollows that define the local geography. Residents often look toward the distant presence of Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie, which anchors the horizon some 30 km away, while the quiet proximity of Lac de la Falaise, just 3 km distant, offers a reflective stillness to the surrounding heights. Life in Shawinigan-Nord maintains a connection to the natural forces that have long dictated the pace of development in this part of Canada. The local economy draws from a legacy of resourcefulness, where the proximity to the Rivière Shawinigan historically invited industry to harness the power of the moving water. Today, the character of Shawinigan-Nord reflects a blend of quiet residential life and a persistent awareness of the wilder expanses that begin just beyond the edge of the streets. As the seasons cycle, the air often holds the sharp, metallic scent of approaching winter, grounding the daily routines of the people in the physical reality of the Mont Georges.
Shawinigan-Nord s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les flancs du Mont Georges, là où la terre garde en mémoire la rudesse des hivers autant que la douceur des récoltes passées. La Rivière Shawinigan dessine sa course paisible à proximité, offrant ses eaux sombres aux reflets changeants du crépuscule qui enveloppe le relief d'une lumière dorée et silencieuse. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac de la Falaise repose dans un creux de terre, miroir immobile invitant à la contemplation, tandis que le fracas lointain mais familier des Chutes de Shawinigan rappelle la force vive qui a jadis dicté le rythme de l'industrie locale. Les hommes et les femmes de Shawinigan-Nord habitent ce sol accidenté avec une ténacité tranquille, héritiers d'une vie façonnée par la proximité du Parc national du Canada de la Mauricie, dont les vastes étendues sylvestres boréales marquent l'horizon au nord. Entre les crêtes rocheuses et les vallées resserrées, la vie quotidienne suit une cadence régulière, portée par le vent qui descend des hauteurs pour balayer les plateaux. Ici, la géographie dicte ses propres lois, forgeant une identité liée à la pierre et aux courants, où chaque habitant reconnaît la texture particulière de son domaine et l'immensité sauvage qui, malgré le passage des générations, demeure le véritable maître des lieux.
