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 Baie-Moïse.
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.

Baie-Moïse is a resort area in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Baie-Moïse is located at 48.5950°N, 71.7781°W.
Baie-Moïse rests quietly upon the northern edge of Lac Saint-Jean, where the horizon meets the water in a long, unbroken line of slate and silver. It lies 10.5 km west-north-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 299°T), and is situated 7.3 km south-west of Saint-Cœur-de-Marie. The land here slopes toward the Côte du Côtoyage, a stretch of terrain that feels perpetually expectant, as if waiting for the wind to shift across the expanse of the lake. Beneath the wide, pale sky, the air carries a crisp, lingering chill that suggests the deep waters of the Saguenay River are never far from the thoughts of those who live nearby. While Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon sits 18 km away, the immediate surroundings of Baie-Moïse hold their own stillness, defined by the way the evening light catches the reeds and turns the surface of the shallows into a sheet of hammered copper. Baie-Moïse maintains an identity rooted in the practical realities of life near the water, where the economy has long drawn its strength from the cycles of the landscape. Early settlement here gathered around the necessity of the waterways, establishing a pattern of industry that remains visible in the sturdy, weathered architecture lining the shore. Residents move through the day with a focused attention to the changing seasons, respecting the cold that defines the winter and the sudden, vibrant growth of the short summer. Traditions here are quiet and private, passed through families who have watched the currents of the Saguenay River for generations, finding a subtle, enduring beauty in the repetitive, essential labor of sustaining a home on the edge of such a vast, northern basin.
Baie-Moïse s'étire le long des eaux vastes du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de plonger dans les courants profonds. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, une clarté boréale qui transforme les rives de la rivière Saguenay en un ruban d'argent sombre, tandis que la Côte du Côtoyage dessine une ligne abrupte contre le ciel. L'air, chargé d'une fraîcheur qui descend des terres intérieures, porte en lui le souvenir des cycles agricoles qui ont façonné ce sol limoneux et exigeant. À quelques lieues de là, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon offre une étendue sauvage où le silence se mesure au souffle du vent balayant la rive. Baie-Moïse conserve cette allure calme des endroits tournés vers l'immensité de l'horizon, où le travail des hommes a dû composer avec l'exigence des éléments et la persistance des hivers. Ici, le rythme quotidien s'accorde aux mouvements de l'eau, et les maisons se tournent vers le large, guettant les changements de teinte sur la surface du lac. Cette présence géographique impose une humilité nouvelle, rappelant que chaque pierre et chaque baie ont été façonnées par la patience, forgeant une identité liée indissolublement à la majesté austère de ces eaux froides.
