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-de-Malbaie.
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-de-Malbaie is a post office in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Barachois-de-Malbaie is located at 48.6178°N, 64.2794°W.
Barachois-de-Malbaie rests where the land bows toward the St. Lawrence, cradled by the shifting edges of the coast. It lies 11.6 km north-north-west of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 334°T), and is situated 27.2 km south-south-east of Gaspé. The salt-heavy air clears to reveal the silhouette of Le Sugar Loaf rising against the sky, a sentinel watching over the mouth of the Rivière Malbaie. Light pools in the hollows of the shoreline at dusk, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that catches the movement of the tides. About 16 km away, the silhouette of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé anchors the horizon, reminding those who linger here of the geologic reach of this coast. The terrain holds a quiet tension, caught between the persistent pull of the river and the vast, open reach of the sea. The history of Barachois-de-Malbaie traces back to the rhythms of the fishery, where the livelihood of families became inseparable from the seasonal cycles of the water. Small vessels still navigate the channels, reflecting a local economy shaped by the cold, deep currents and the practical demands of the maritime life. Traditions here are kept by the hands that mend nets and the voices that know the shifting moods of the wind. Even as the modern world turns, the character of the site stays rooted in the simple, stark beauty of the maritime landscape, where the sound of the Rivière Malbaie meeting the St. Lawrence defines the morning.
Barachois-de-Malbaie s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’eau salée vient embrasser le cours de la Rivière Malbaie. Sous la veille immobile du Sugar Loaf, le relief se découpe en une ligne franche, sculptée par des vents qui portent le sel et le souvenir des ancêtres venus chercher fortune dans le sillage des marées. À quelques lieues de distance, le Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé se dresse comme une sentinelle de pierre, rappelant par sa stature l'immensité de ce monde maritime. Les habitations se groupent contre les caprices du climat, héritières d’une longue tradition de pêche et d’agriculture qui a su dompter la rudesse du sol gaspésien. Lorsque le crépuscule s'installe, une lumière bleutée enveloppe les quais, transformant le travail quotidien des hommes en une liturgie silencieuse. Le rythme de Barachois-de-Malbaie se calque alors sur le mouvement des courants et le ressac contre les rochers, offrant aux passants la sensation d’une terre qui ne demande rien d’autre que d’être contemplée. Ici, la mer ne se contente pas de longer le rivage, elle pénètre l’esprit même de ceux qui habitent ce bout de côte, façonnant une identité aussi solide que le granit qui borde les eaux froides.
