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 Yamachiche.
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.

Yamachiche is a municipality in Yamachiche; Maskinongé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Yamachiche is located at 46.2801°N, 72.8355°W.
Yamachiche rests upon the low, fertile plains that edge the northern expanse of Lac Saint-Pierre, where the horizon broadens into a wide, shimmering stillness. It lies 23.5 km west-south-west of Trois-Rivières, QC (from Trois-Rivières, QC: bearing 253°T), and is situated 8.6 km east-north-east of Louiseville. The Petite rivière Yamachiche moves with a deliberate, dark grace through the heart of the landscape, its current carving a quiet path toward the lake. Nearby, the rounded rise of La Petite Montagne breaks the flat horizon, offering a subtle shift in elevation that catches the low-slanting light of early morning. The air here holds the damp, cooling breath of the water, a constant presence that colors the daily life of those who look out toward the expanse of the shore. While the distant Chutes de Sainte-Ursule draw the curious with their sudden, thundering descent, Yamachiche prefers the steady, grounded accumulation of the seasons. Settled long ago by those who understood the value of this rich, silty earth, Yamachiche maintains a character defined by its deep agricultural roots and the persistence of its people. The local economy persists in the rhythms of the field and the steady work of small industry, honoring a heritage that values the yield of the soil as much as the integrity of a day’s labor. Houses stand with a sturdy, unadorned pride, their foundations settled firmly into the land that once sustained early travelers and settlers alike. In the quiet hours of the afternoon, the clatter of machinery or the hum of passing traffic does little to disturb the underlying composure of the streets. Yamachiche continues to exist as a point of continuity, a place where the work of the past informs the modest, enduring reality of the present.
Yamachiche s'étire avec une patience ancienne sur les rives du Lac Saint-Pierre, où les eaux calmes étirent leurs reflets jusqu'à l'horizon bas du pays maskinongé. La lumière déclinante y caresse les terres fertiles, révélant la texture d'un terroir façonné par des générations de cultivateurs dont le labeur a tracé les sillons profonds de cette contrée. Non loin de La Petite Montagne, le murmure de la Petite rivière Yamachiche accompagne le rythme des jours, serpentant entre les demeures aux toits pentus qui conservent le souvenir des premiers occupants et des familles acadiennes venues y bâtir leur foyer. À vingt kilomètres de là, le fracas lointain des Chutes de Sainte-Ursule rappelle la force brute des éléments qui sculptent le relief environnant. Yamachiche cultive une élégance discrète, celle des lieux qui possèdent une âme forgée par le dialogue entre la terre nourricière et le grand plan d'eau protecteur. Ici, le vent apporte souvent une fraîcheur humide, rappelant la proximité du fleuve, tandis que la vie quotidienne s'ordonne selon les travaux des champs et la bienveillance des saisons, offrant aux visiteurs le spectacle d'une existence simple, dénuée d'artifice, portée par la constance d'un paysage immuable.
