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 Tour-des-Hauteurs.
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.

Tour-des-Hauteurs is a locality in Lac-Huron; Rimouski-Neigette, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Tour-des-Hauteurs is located at 48.0306°N, 67.9556°W.
Tour-des-Hauteurs stands as a quiet sentinel within the rugged expanse of the Rimouski-Neigette region, defined by the persistent, cold currents of the Rivière Kedgwick. It lies 61.7 km south-west of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 219°T), and is situated 28.8 km north-north-west of Rapids Depot. The low light of late afternoon catches the slate-grey surface of the Rivière Kedgwick, illuminating the way the water bends around the base of the rise. Nearby, the stillness surrounding Lac des Bernaches offers a stark contrast to the moving current, as the forest air remains heavy and sharp with the scent of damp earth and cooling conifers. Generations have looked to the timber and the turning seasons to define the character of Tour-des-Hauteurs, relying on the land’s natural yield to sustain the local economy. The work here follows the demands of the terrain, where the silence of the woods often outlasts the noise of industry. Even when the winter frost hardens the ground, the people of Tour-des-Hauteurs maintain a steady focus on the practical realities of life in the north, finding a quiet satisfaction in the endurance required to inhabit such a demanding landscape.
Tour-des-Hauteurs s'étire avec une lenteur minérale sur les rives escarpées de la Rivière Kedgwick, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder plus longuement sur les eaux sombres. Le relief accidenté de cette partie de Rimouski-Neigette impose aux bâtisseurs une humilité nécessaire, obligeant les demeures à se nicher dans les replis du sol pour mieux échapper aux vents qui dévalent des hauteurs boisées. À seulement quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac des Bernaches offre une étendue d'une immobilité rare, miroir glacé qui retient le silence des forêts environnantes. Dans ce secteur marqué par une tradition forestière tenace, le rythme de vie suit encore la cadence des travaux de la terre et l'exigence du climat, forgeant un caractère austère mais profondément attaché à ces terres de la frontière. Les habitants de Tour-des-Hauteurs conservent une mémoire vive des rigueurs du Nord, se rassemblant autour des héritages acadiens qui colorent encore le parler et les habitudes de la maisonnée. Chaque saison apporte son lot de transformations visibles sur les rives de la Rivière Kedgwick, alors que la nature reprend ses droits avec une vigueur que rien ne saurait entamer. L'air y possède une pureté tranchante, presque métallique, qui rappelle aux visiteurs que la survie ici est une affaire de patience et de respect devant l'immensité du paysage sauvage.
