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 Amqui.
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.

Amqui is a town in Amqui; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Amqui is located at 48.4624°N, 67.4332°W.
Amqui sits firmly within the valley where the land narrows to cradle the Rivière Matapédia, a setting defined by the quiet persistence of water carving through the terrain. It lies 42.9 km south of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 170°T), and is situated 7.9 km north-west of Lac-au-Saumon. The valley holds a particular stillness at dusk, when the light turns thin and pale against the rising slopes near the Cap Pioui. Just a short distance away, Lac Bossé reflects the shifting sky, providing a calm counterpoint to the movement of the river. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and coniferous needles, a reminder that the wilder reaches of the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia wait only a short journey away, anchoring the landscape in a vast, forested permanence. The development of Amqui grew from the necessity of its position, serving as a vital point for those who worked the surrounding timber and cleared the land for agriculture. Early industry relied heavily on the flow of the Rivière Matapédia to transport logs, a practice that shaped the physical layout of the settlement and defined the working lives of its residents. Today, the economy remains pragmatic, balancing these traditional roots with modern services that support the people living in the heart of the valley. The sound of machinery often punctuates the day, yet it never entirely drowns out the persistent, low hum of the current pushing steadily toward the sea. Life in Amqui moves with the seasonal cycle, marked by the arrival of snow that muffles the streets and the sudden, vibrant green of spring that transforms the valley walls. Residents maintain a deep connection to their surroundings, valuing the accessibility of the nearby natural landmarks that offer quiet refuge from the demands of modern life. While the pace of the day is practical and focused, there is an underlying appreciation for the solitude offered by the proximity of the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia. It is a place where the character of the people is as resilient as the terrain, shaped by a history of hard work and a quiet, enduring respect for the land.
Amqui se déploie avec une sérénité singulière sur les rives de la Rivière Matapédia, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder sur les eaux vives avant de glisser vers les terres. À proximité de Cap Pioui, le relief s'organise autour de cette artère vitale qui façonne depuis longtemps le caractère laborieux et résilient de ses habitants. Le Lac Bossé, situé à peine à un kilomètre, offre un miroir immobile au ciel, contrastant avec le courant constant qui anime la vallée. À quelques lieues de là, la Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia impose sa présence forestière, rappelant la puissance d'une nature qui dicte encore le rythme de la vie locale. Amqui puise son identité dans cette cohabitation étroite avec un territoire façonné par le bois et les terres agricoles, où chaque geste quotidien semble répondre à l'appel des saisons changeantes. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une humidité légère qui s'échappe des berges, tandis que les façades des demeures conservent la mémoire d'une fondation tournée vers l'exploitation forestière et le passage des hommes. Dans ce cadre, la vie s'écoule avec une régularité apaisante, portée par le bruissement continu de la Rivière Matapédia qui traverse l'existence de tous ceux qui ont élu domicile sur ces terres fertiles.
