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-des-Capucins.
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-des-Capucins is a hamlet in Cap-Chat; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Baie-des-Capucins is located at 49.0419°N, 66.8556°W.
Baie-des-Capucins rests where the rugged expanse of the St. Lawrence meets the land, defined by the sharp, salt-heavy air and the persistent movement of the tides. It lies 13.6 km west-south-west of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 244°T), and is situated 10.3 km east-north-east of Les Méchins. The Rivière des Grands Capucins carves a path toward the shore, its waters moving with a quiet urgency past the Côte à Bouleaux, where the earth rises in firm, weathered slopes. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, Lac Saint-Pierre mirrors the changing sky, offering a stillness that contrasts with the restless energy of the coast. When the light fades at dusk, the horizon pulls the colors of the water into the sky, softening the hard edges of the landscape until the divide between land and sea grows thin and luminous. The history of Baie-des-Capucins reflects the grit of those who settled along the Haute-Gaspésie, finding sustenance in the sea and the timber of the surrounding forests. Local life follows the demands of the seasons, maintaining a focus on maritime trades and the extraction of resources that have long anchored the economy of Cap-Chat. Residents here carry an intimate knowledge of the winds and the currents, a practical wisdom passed through generations as they navigate the complexities of life in a remote coastal setting. Even as the modern world shifts around it, Baie-des-Capucins keeps a steady pulse, grounded by the endurance of its people and the constant, rhythmic washing of the salt spray against the stone.
Baie-des-Capucins s'étire le long des berges du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salin sculpte chaque rocher avec une persistance minérale. À proximité de Côte à Bouleaux, le terrain bascule dans une intimité sauvage, rythmée par le flux constant des marées qui viennent lécher les rivages de la Rivière des Grands Capucins. Le Lac Saint-Pierre, blotti à quelques pas, offre un miroir immobile au ciel changeant de la Gaspésie, contrastant avec la houle impétueuse du grand fleuve voisin. L'histoire de Baie-des-Capucins se lit dans la rudesse des structures qui défient l'érosion, héritage d'une ténacité nécessaire pour habiter ces marges où la terre semble vouloir reprendre ses droits. Les habitants, habitués à la lumière oblique du crépuscule qui enflamme les falaises, maintiennent des habitudes forgées par la proximité immédiate de l'eau. Ici, la vie ne se mesure pas en grands gestes, mais dans la gestion minutieuse des ressources offertes par ce littoral exigeant et magnifique. La présence de la Rivière des Grands Capucins marque la topographie comme une veine vive, drainant les eaux vers le large et rappelant sans cesse à Baie-des-Capucins que son existence demeure liée à cette force aquatique indomptable, garante d'un quotidien dépouillé de tout artifice.
