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 Barachois-Nord.
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.

Barachois-Nord is a hamlet in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Barachois-Nord is located at 48.6358°N, 64.2931°W.
Barachois-Nord rests along the salt-scented edges of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the sea beneath the watchful shadow of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 13.8 km north-north-west of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 334°T), and is situated 24.9 km south-south-east of Gaspé. The Rivière Malbaie carves a quiet path through the terrain, meeting the tides with a steady, cooling influence that defines the local air. At dusk, the light catches the water in a way that turns the surface into hammered silver, illuminating the rugged transition from the riverbanks to the high ground. While Le Gros Lac sits 14 km away in the quiet interior, the horizon remains dominated by the coastal expanse. The spirit of the coast persists here, quiet and vast, as the wind moves across the shoreline with a weight that settles into the salt-grass and stone. Barachois-Nord maintains a connection to the sea that has directed the lives of its inhabitants for generations, relying on the rhythms of the tides and the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence. The local economy finds its footing in the traditions of the coast, where the work of the day is measured by the currents and the harvest of the deep. Nearby, Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé stands 18 km distant, a reminder of the geological grandeur that defines the broader Percé region. In the quiet corners of the morning, one can hear the distant, percussive slap of water against the hulls of small craft, a sound that persists long after the sun has climbed above the cliffs. The character of Barachois-Nord persists through this steady, salted persistence, holding its place against the elements with a calm, enduring resolve.
Barachois-Nord s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin chargé de sel façonne la patience des hommes et la rudesse des falaises. À proximité du Sugar Loaf, le relief se cabre dans une immobilité minérale qui surveille le passage des marées, tandis que le cours de la Rivière Malbaie serpente vers l'estuaire avec une langueur obstinée. Le paysage se déploie dans une lumière crépusculaire qui semble suspendre le temps, révélant la texture rugueuse des terres cultivées par les générations successives. À quelques lieues, la présence du Gros Lac et la silhouette lointaine du Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé rappellent la puissance indomptable de cette géographie gaspésienne. Les travaux de la terre et les héritages maritimes imprègnent chaque geste des habitants de Barachois-Nord, dont la vie quotidienne s'accorde au rythme des vents soufflant du large. Ici, la terre ne se donne pas sans effort, mais elle offre en échange une austère et profonde beauté, celle d'un horizon sans cesse renouvelé par le fracas des vagues et le silence des terres intérieures. Chaque maison se tient droite, tournée vers le grand large, gardienne d'une identité forgée dans la rencontre entre la roche tenace et l'immensité bleue du fleuve.
