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 West-Jonction.
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.

West-Jonction is a railway junction in Lévis; Chaudière-Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. West-Jonction is located at 46.7059°N, 71.2764°W.
West-Jonction occupies a singular position where the steady, dark currents of the Rivière Chaudière pull toward the St. Lawrence, carving a deep corridor through the Coteau Chevreuil. It lies 6.4 km south-south-west of Lévis, QC (from Lévis, QC: bearing 205°T), and is situated 13.1 km south-south-west of Québec. The air here holds a permanent, damp chill, rising from the churning water to catch the late afternoon light in a haze of pale gold. Only a short distance away, the Chutes de la Chaudière collapse in a thunderous, white descent, a constant pulse that reminds those in West-Jonction of the river’s restless power. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into the quiet, sheltered slopes of the Coteau Chevreuil, while the stillness of Lac aux Breakey rests just five kilometers off, hidden within the surrounding terrain. Even as the modern day passes with the hum of traffic and industry, the land retains the somber, heavy gravity of a place defined by the meeting of rock and river. The economic life of West-Jonction emerged from the exploitation of these powerful waterways, which once drove the sawmills and local trade that gave the region its initial shape. While the industrial roar has tempered, the local character remains defined by the persistence of those who live within the reach of the Chaudière, a community that watches the seasonal swelling of the banks with a practiced, watchful eye. Families gather in the quiet spaces between the hills, their lives attuned to the slow shift of seasons that turn the Coteau Chevreuil from a verdant green to a stark, frozen white. Traditions here are rarely spoken, instead appearing in the way residents clear their paths or gather to look out over the river as the ice begins to break in the spring. West-Jonction persists as a sturdy, functional node in the landscape, where the history of the region is felt in the cold, polished stones along the shore and the persistent, low-frequency roar of the water nearby.
West-Jonction s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Coteau Chevreuil sculpte le relief de ses ondulations douces. L'air y possède cette limpidité particulière des terres où la Rivière Chaudière dicte son rythme au paysage, charriant les échos d'une histoire forgée par le travail de la terre et le passage des convois ferroviaires qui ont façonné son identité. À quelques encablures, le tumulte des Chutes de la Chaudière impose une présence sonore permanente, un souffle puissant qui contraste avec la quiétude des environs, tandis que le Lac aux Breakey, niché à cinq kilomètres de là, offre un miroir immobile aux ciels changeants de la région. West-Jonction observe le crépuscule descendre sur les champs, transformant les étendues agricoles en une nappe de velours sombre où la lumière décline avec une mélancolie légère. Les habitants y perpétuent un mode de vie réglé sur les cadences naturelles, loin de l'agitation, dans une fidélité aux gestes simples qui lient le passé industriel aux nécessités du présent. La terre ici ne se donne pas sans effort, mais elle récompense ceux qui acceptent sa rigueur climatique, offrant en retour la sérénité des grands espaces ouverts et le murmure constant de l'eau qui irrigue chaque pensée.
