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 Brasset.
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.

Brasset is a hamlet in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Brasset is located at 48.8172°N, 64.5781°W.
Brasset holds a quiet watch over the St. Lawrence, where the land gathers itself into the presence of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 7.5 km west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 264°T), and is situated 15.3 km west-north-west of Douglastown. The air here carries the bracing scent of salt and pine, a clarity that sharpens the edges of the horizon as the Rivière York winds through the valley floor. Only two kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Fromenteau reflects the shifting clouds, while the rugged expanse of Forillon National Park of Canada waits nineteen kilometers to the east, marking the final reach of the peninsula. At dusk, the light clings to the hillsides, turning the slopes a bruised, velvet purple that seems to hold the day long after the sun has dipped behind the crests. The history of Brasset stays rooted in the labor of the timber trade and the harvest of the sea, industries that defined the resilience of the families who settled these banks. Residents move through their days with a steady focus, their lives shaped by the seasonal pulse of the water and the demands of the forest. While the modern economy has drifted toward a quiet blend of forestry and local enterprise, the character of Brasset remains defined by the persistence of its people against the vast, open geography of the coast. Winter brings a profound hush to the Rivière York, yet the spirit of the place persists in the woodsmoke rising from chimneys and the enduring connection to a landscape that demands both respect and endurance.
Brasset s'étire avec une grâce tranquille le long des rives de la rivière York, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle avant de s'ouvrir sur l'immensité du Saint-Laurent. Dans cette portion de la Côte-de-Gaspé, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur le relief accidenté, soulignant la silhouette imposante du Sugar Loaf qui veille sur les habitations dispersées. La vie à Brasset se règle sur le murmure constant de l'eau et le changement des vents marins, rappelant l'héritage des familles qui ont autrefois défriché ces sols pour y établir une agriculture de subsistance, aujourd'hui transformée par le passage discret des générations. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Fromenteau offre une halte de silence sous les frondaisons, tandis que la proximité du parc national Forillon du Canada impose une présence sauvage, celle des falaises battues par les embruns et des espaces préservés. Les habitants, façonnés par la rigueur et la beauté de ce littoral, perpétuent des traditions simples où la mer et la terre s'entremêlent dans un quotidien sans artifice. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas tout entier ; il se découvre par fragments, entre les méandres de la rivière York et l'horizon bleuté qui, au loin, promet toujours un nouveau départ.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
