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 Arseneault.
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.

Arseneault is a hamlet in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine; Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Arseneault is located at 47.4119°N, 61.7719°W.
Arseneault occupies a singular vantage point along the shifting margins of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the persistent influence of the salt air. It lies 8.4 km east-north-east of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC (from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC: bearing 61°T), and is situated 7.5 km east-north-east of Cap-aux-Meules. Across the Butte à Cajetan, the terrain holds a stark, elemental clarity, defined by grasses that lean perpetually toward the horizon under a vast, unyielding sky. The light here possesses a translucent quality at dusk, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that catches the final, bruised purples of the waning day. Le Petit Barachois sits just two kilometers away, its quiet waters acting as a mirror to the clouds, while the more distant reaches of the Réserve nationale de faune de la pointe de l'Est, thirty-one kilometers out, mark the boundary of a wilder, wind-swept expanse. Life in Arseneault follows the seasonal breathing of the tides, rooted in a history of resilience that favors the observant over the hurried. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the sea, drawing its sustenance from the currents that define the geography of the islands. There is a tactile honesty in the architecture of the local homes, which stand low against the gales, their weathered siding absorbing the relentless brine of the St. Lawrence. Even in the stillness of a winter afternoon, the air retains a sharp, metallic edge, reminding anyone present that Arseneault exists as a deliberate outpost between the depth of the ocean and the solitude of the shore.
Arseneault s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salé sculpte les formes de la Butte à Cajetan avec une patience infinie. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose une clarté particulière, révélant la texture rugueuse du sol et le mouvement incessant des marées qui façonnent l'horizon. À quelques kilomètres, le Petit Barachois retient les eaux dans un calme qui contraste avec la vigueur du large, tandis que la Réserve nationale de faune de la pointe de l'Est protège, à trente et un kilomètres de distance, le refuge fragile des oiseaux migrateurs. Les familles qui habitent Arseneault vivent au rythme de ce paysage austère, héritières d'une ténacité acadienne forgée par la proximité immédiate de l'océan. Ici, l'économie demeure liée aux humeurs de la mer et aux ressources que la terre, battue par les vents, consent à offrir à ceux qui savent l'écouter. Chaque maison, tournée vers l'immensité du Saint-Laurent, semble guetter le retour des pêcheurs ou le changement du ciel, dans un silence qui n'est jamais vide mais chargé de la mémoire des générations ayant défriché ce littoral. La rigueur du climat exige une présence attentive, une manière d'exister où chaque geste compte autant que la solidité des structures bravant les tempêtes.

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.
