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 Bon-Désir.
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.

Bon-Désir is a hamlet in Les Bergeronnes; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Bon-Désir is located at 48.2794°N, 69.4794°W.
Bon-Désir rests along the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the expansive, restless salt water near the Colline de l'Anse à l'Eau. It lies 22.7 km north-east of Tadoussac, QC (from Tadoussac, QC: bearing 51°T), and is situated 9.6 km south-south-west of Les Escoumins. The air here holds a sharp, brine-heavy clarity, cooling the rocky terrain that stretches back toward the inland silence. Behind the immediate coastline, the environment shifts toward the quiet stillness of Lac Beaulieu, located four kilometers away, and the subtle, winding presence of the Rivière Beaulieu, which flows some six kilometers from the shore. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the St. Lawrence, turning the water into a sheet of hammered grey-silver that seems to press against the dark, unyielding earth of the shoreline. The history of Bon-Désir follows the cold, demanding currents of the coast, where generations have looked toward the water to define their survival and their craft. Life in Les Bergeronnes, within La Haute-Côte-Nord, maintains a focus on the bounty of the estuary, drawing upon a tradition of maritime industry that respects the immense scale of the surrounding geography. Local families carry forward a heritage shaped by the demands of the tides and the seasonal shifts of a northern climate, where the work of the day is measured by the visibility of the horizon. Residents observe the passage of time through the heavy, rhythmic breathing of the St. Lawrence, a presence that commands attention and dictates the pace of movement across the land.
Bon-Désir s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ciel immense semble peser de tout son poids bleu sur l'horizon minéral de la Haute-Côte-Nord. Le terrain, façonné par des millénaires de rudesse boréale, s'élève doucement vers la Colline de l'Anse à l'Eau, offrant aux regards une perspective dégagée sur les eaux froides qui dictent le rythme des existences locales. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac Beaulieu repose dans une tranquillité profonde, tandis que la Rivière Beaulieu dessine un tracé discret dans le relief environnant, rappelant la présence constante des courants qui irriguent cette contrée. L'air y possède une texture particulière, chargée du sel marin et de la fraîcheur des bois, une signature sensorielle que les habitants connaissent depuis les premières installations liées à l'exploitation forestière et à la pêche côtière. Dans cet espace, le quotidien se mesure aux marées et à la lumière changeante qui, lors des crépuscules, nimbe Bon-Désir d'une clarté dorée, révélant la robustesse des maisons modestes qui défient les vents venus du large. Chaque geste ici, qu'il soit tourné vers la terre ferme ou vers les profondeurs du fleuve, respecte une mesure ancienne, celle de gens qui ont su apprivoiser la solitude et la beauté austère du littoral québécois.
