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-du-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.

Tour-du-Nord is a locality in Château-Richer; La Côte-de-Beaupré, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Tour-du-Nord is located at 47.1639°N, 71.1839°W.
Tour-du-Nord rests within the rugged, ascending terrain of Château-Richer, where the land rises sharply toward the interior plateaus of La Côte-de-Beaupré. It lies 24.3 km north-west of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC (from Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, QC: bearing 313°T), and is situated 25.5 km west-north-west of Beaupré. The Rivière Cachée carves a persistent path through the granite-heavy earth near the Le Deltaplane, its cold, clear waters humming against stones that have smoothed over centuries of winter ice. To the north, the landscape deepens into dense woodland, where Lac du Fond reflects a sky that turns the color of hammered pewter as the afternoon light wanes. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, tasting of pine resin and the damp mineral scent of the riverbed, a sensory weight that anchors Tour-du-Nord firmly within its wilder surroundings. Further out, the distant roar of Chutes Turgeon underscores the persistent movement of water through the region, while the vast, protected expanses of Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier loom as a silent, forested horizon. The history of Tour-du-Nord is tied to the enduring patterns of the Saint Lawrence lowlands, where generations have harvested the timber and cleared the rocky soil to sustain a life balanced between the river and the heights. Local industry remains tethered to the quiet, methodical extraction of resources, with small-scale agriculture and forestry shaping the modest architecture of the homesteads that dot the slopes. The people of Tour-du-Nord maintain a stoic, practical relationship with their environment, valuing the seasonal shifts that dictate the pace of their daily work. Even as modern life brushes against the edges of these woods, the identity of the locality persists in the flicker of woodstoves and the long, blue shadows that stretch across the fields when the sun dips behind the higher ridges.
Tour-du-Nord s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les terres fertiles de Château-Richer, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur presque religieuse sur les rangs de la Côte-de-Beaupré. À proximité immédiate du Deltaplane, le paysage se déploie dans une rigueur géologique qui impose le respect, tandis que la Rivière Cachée trace son sillon silencieux entre les parcelles cultivées et les boisés denses. L’air frais, chargé de l’humidité qui remonte des battures, enveloppe Tour-du-Nord d’une clarté singulière, révélant la texture rugueuse des écorces et la noblesse des champs en jachère. À peine à deux kilomètres, le Lac du Fond semble retenir le souffle du ciel, offrant un miroir immobile à la course des nuages. Plus loin, la rudesse des Chutes Turgeon scande le relief, tandis que l’immensité du Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier dessine, à vingt-trois kilomètres, une frontière sauvage et indomptable. Ici, le quotidien se mesure aux gestes anciens de la terre, dans un équilibre précaire entre l’héritage agricole des ancêtres et la pression constante des éléments. Les habitants, façonnés par ce relief escarpé, entretiennent une relation intime avec la topographie, chaque colline et chaque repli de terrain racontant une histoire de survie et de labeur, loin du tumulte, dans le silence dense des matins québécois.

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.
