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 Bas-de-l'Anse.
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.

Bas-de-l'Anse is a hamlet in La Malbaie; Charlevoix-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Bas-de-l'Anse is located at 47.7028°N, 70.0350°W.
Bas-de-l'Anse rests against the steep, rugged edges of the St. Lawrence, where the dark currents exert a constant, tidal pull upon the shoreline near Le Cap. It lies 10.2 km east-north-east of La Malbaie, QC (from La Malbaie, QC: bearing 57°T), and is situated 14.3 km east of Clermont. The cold, salt-tinged air clings to the slopes, following the path of the Rivière à la Loutre as it spills toward the estuary. Inland, the terrain rises into dense, quiet woods where Lac des Sœurs holds the stillness of the high ground, while the distant, rushing sound of Chutes Saint-Georges marks the hidden creases of the landscape. At dusk, the light here thins into a pale, translucent blue that settles over the water, turning the river into a sheet of hammered silver that obscures the boundary between the earth and the sky. History in Bas-de-l'Anse remains tied to the hard, maritime realities of Charlevoix-Est, where the lives of the inhabitants have long turned on the movement of the tides and the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence. The local economy persists through a grounded reliance on the land and water, drawing sustenance from the resources of the region while maintaining a quiet independence from the larger centers of La Malbaie. Daily life moves with the deliberate focus of those who understand the temperament of the coast, finding value in the endurance of traditional wood-framed homes and the steady, repetitive labor required to thrive in such a vertical, uncompromising terrain. Even as the modern world encroaches, the people of Bas-de-l'Anse hold to a measured way of being, mirroring the stoic, granite character of the cliffs that stand watch over their daily work.
Bas-de-l'Anse s'étire le long des eaux froides et mouvantes du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard se perd vers l'immensité du large tout en sentant la proximité immédiate du Cap. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose des teintes nacrées sur les rives de la Rivière à la Loutre, dont le cours sinueux scande la vie des habitants depuis des générations. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac des Sœurs offre une halte de silence au milieu des terres vallonnées, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Saint-Georges rappelle la puissance brute d'une nature indomptable. L'économie locale, longtemps façonnée par les rigueurs de la terre et la générosité des eaux, conserve cette patience propre aux gens qui vivent sous le regard des falaises. Les maisons, tournées vers le fleuve, semblent guetter le retour des marées avec une constance héritée des premiers occupants qui ont su lire les signes de ce relief escarpé. Bas-de-l'Anse habite son propre temps, entre les replis du terrain rocheux et la respiration incessante des courants, offrant aux passants la sensation rare d'un équilibre fragile, suspendu entre la rudesse du climat et la douceur d'un horizon qui ne finit jamais.
