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 Val-Jalbert.
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.

Val-Jalbert is a administrative sector in Chambord; Le Domaine-du-Roy, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Val-Jalbert is located at 48.4461°N, 72.1616°W.
Val-Jalbert rests with quiet persistence upon the northern shore of Lac Saint-Jean, a landscape defined by the sharp, rising silhouettes of the Monts Jumeaux. It lies 9.1 km south-south-east of Roberval, QC (from Roberval, QC: bearing 151°T), and is situated 7.5 km west-north-west of Chambord. The Rivière Ouellet carves a path through this terrain, its waters drawing a cold, constant line toward the basin of the lake. As the sun descends, the light catches the mist rising from the gorge, turning the air into a shimmering veil that softens the edges of the surrounding pines. While Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon lies about 32 km away, the immediate surroundings of Val-Jalbert hold their own distinct gravity, where the earth feels firm and the horizon remains perpetually wide. Val-Jalbert emerged from the ambition of industrial enterprise, rooted in the harnessing of the Rivière Ouellet to power a pulp mill that once commanded the local economy. The architecture of the site preserves a specific moment of early twentieth-century industry, standing as a collection of wooden homes that hold the stillness of a life centered around the whistle of the mill. Today, the economy has shifted toward the preservation of this history, drawing visitors to walk the paths where laborers once moved between their hearths and the machinery. Even now, the sound of the water falling through the heart of the site provides a steady, rhythmic pulse that defines the character of Val-Jalbert, grounding the experience of the visitor in the unrelenting force of the current.
Val-Jalbert se dresse fièrement sur les rives du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle devant l'immensité des eaux. Dominé par la silhouette imposante des Monts Jumeaux, ce site industriel figé par le passage des années conserve l'ardeur de son passé, lorsque la Rivière Ouellet actionnait encore les rouages de la pulperie. L'air y est vif, chargé de cette humidité particulière qui monte du lac, tandis que la lumière déclinante du crépuscule dore les façades de bois des maisons d'ouvriers, préservées comme une mémoire vive de l'effort humain. À une distance de trente-deux kilomètres, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon étend ses terres sauvages, mais Val-Jalbert possède une gravité singulière, celle d'un projet industriel ambitieux né de la force hydraulique et de la volonté des hommes. Les sentiers qui longent la Rivière Ouellet offrent aujourd'hui une quiétude méditative, contrastant avec le tumulte de la production qui animait autrefois ces lieux. En arpentant le domaine, on perçoit encore la ténacité des bâtisseurs qui ont façonné cette contrée du Domaine-du-Roy. Val-Jalbert demeure un monument à ciel ouvert, où le murmure du vent dans les arbres et le ressac du Lac Saint-Jean racontent une histoire faite de labeur et de rêves d'acier, dans une rigueur climatique qui sculpte chaque pierre et chaque âme.
