This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Black Cape, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Quebec or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Black Cape and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Black Cape.
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.

Black Cape is a hamlet in New Richmond; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Black Cape is located at 48.1386°N, 65.8217°W.
Black Cape stands as a rugged sentinel along the shoreline of the St. Lawrence, where the salt-heavy air meets the terrestrial quiet of the Gaspe Peninsula. It lies 4.0 km south-east of New Richmond, QC (from New Richmond, QC: bearing 132°T), and is situated 11.3 km west-north-west of Caplan. The land here holds a stark, elemental clarity, defined by the proximity of the Petite rivière Cascapédia as it draws toward the sea. Nearby, the presence of Le Calvaire offers a landmark of quiet contemplation, while the mist rising from Chutes de la Plage brings a cool, damp vitality to the surrounding spruce and cedar. Even nine kilometers inland toward Lac à l'Oie, the atmosphere retains the bracing sharpness of the northern tide, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate. The character of Black Cape draws its strength from a long history of maritime connection and the modest, persistent labor of those who work the coast. Life in New Richmond remains shaped by the ebb and flow of the tides, with an economy that has historically balanced the harvest of the sea with the rhythms of local industry. Residents carry a quiet pride in their heritage, often marked by the simple, enduring architecture that faces the water, standing firm against the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence. Here, the day-to-day existence is measured by the changing light upon the waves and the steady, unsentimental work of maintaining a livelihood at the edge of the continent.
Black Cape s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le socle rocheux semble vouloir retenir l’élan des marées dans un silence minéral. Ce territoire, façonné par les vents salins et une terre jadis défrichée par des mains tenaces, conserve une rigueur austère propre aux paysages gaspésiens. Non loin, les eaux de la Petite rivière Cascapédia rejoignent le grand large, tandis que les Chutes de la Plage, situées à six kilomètres, ponctuent le relief d’un murmure constant. À neuf kilomètres de là, le Lac à l’Oie offre une halte paisible dans un environnement marqué par la proximité du Calvaire, repère immuable veillant sur le rivage. L’économie de Black Cape puise sa force dans cette alliance entre la terre nourricière et l’immensité maritime, héritage d’une présence humaine qui a su apprivoiser l’âpreté des éléments. La lumière crépusculaire y possède une clarté singulière, découpant les silhouettes des falaises avec une précision presque tranchante. En foulant ce sol, le visiteur perçoit le rythme lent d’une vie tournée vers l’horizon, où chaque marée apporte un renouvellement sans cesse recommencé. Ici, Black Cape demeure une présence forte, une terre de roches et de courants qui impose le respect par sa seule nudité géologique et son caractère indomptable.
