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-Saint-Paul.
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-Saint-Paul is a town in Baie-Saint-Paul; Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Baie-Saint-Paul is located at 47.4406°N, 70.5095°W.
Baie-Saint-Paul rests where the Rivière du Gouffre yields its inland strength to the vast, salt-heavy expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 35.8 km south-west of La Malbaie, QC (from La Malbaie, QC: bearing 229°T), and is situated 9.9 km west-north-west of Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer. The land here rises in steep, protective shoulders, framing the valley in a way that catches the low, bruised light of late afternoon, turning the fields near the Côte des Bœufs into shimmering expanses of gold and deep shadow. Within this basin, the air holds a crisp, maritime sharpness, a cool breath that drifts down from the higher elevations near Parc national des Grands-Jardins. Even the nearby Lac du Genévrier seems to mirror this clarity, its surface often undisturbed, reflecting the dense, dark green of the surrounding conifers that define the horizon of this rugged terrain. Historically, the prosperity of Baie-Saint-Paul grew from the fertile floodplains of the Rivière du Gouffre, which invited early settlers to cultivate the soil while looking toward the river for trade and passage. Agriculture remains a vital pulse in the region, with local farms providing the sustenance that feeds the long-standing tradition of hospitality found in the valley. Beyond the fields, Baie-Saint-Paul has transformed its economic identity by embracing a creative spirit, shifting from traditional primary industries to become a destination for those who value craftsmanship and the visual arts. This transition has allowed the local economy to flourish without losing the stark, unadorned beauty of its working roots. The cultural character of Baie-Saint-Paul is defined by a deep-seated appreciation for the aesthetic, drawing painters and artisans who find the quality of the light here essential to their work. Galleries line the streets, serving as quiet anchor points for a community that hosts various festivals celebrating the intersection of human expression and the natural world. Many artists have long found inspiration in the dramatic topography that surrounds the settlement, from the coastal edges of the St. Lawrence to the distant, rolling heights of Parc national des Grands-Jardins. This commitment to the arts has fostered a distinct atmosphere, where the daily pace is set by the shifting tides and the seasonal turn of the landscape, inviting visitors to observe the world with a slower, more deliberate focus.
Baie-Saint-Paul s’étire avec une grâce tranquille le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme. La Rivière du Gouffre serpente à travers le paysage, dessinant un sillage liquide qui guide le regard vers la Côte des Bœufs, dont les pentes douces rappellent la vocation agricole qui façonna les premiers sillons. À quelques lieues de cette étendue, le Lac du Genévrier repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que plus loin, le Parc national des Grands-Jardins déploie ses reliefs escarpés sous une lumière changeante. L’air, empreint d’une fraîcheur vive, porte les échos d’une vie tournée vers l’estuaire, où les gens de Baie-Saint-Paul entretiennent une relation singulière avec l’horizon. Les toits colorés et les clochers s’élèvent comme des repères familiers au milieu des vallons, marquant une présence humaine qui a su apprivoiser l’âpreté des saisons. Les traditions artistiques y fleurissent avec une vigueur naturelle, puisant leur force dans la rudesse des éléments et la persistance des racines locales. Chaque crépuscule transforme les eaux en une plaque d’argent, offrant un repos bien mérité à cette terre qui, entre la Rivière du Gouffre et le grand fleuve, continue d’écrire son propre récit, loin des grands fracas du monde.

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.
