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 Canton-Jetté.
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.

Canton-Jetté is a hamlet in Saint-Zénon-du-Lac-Humqui; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Canton-Jetté is located at 48.2692°N, 67.5617°W.
Canton-Jetté occupies a quiet corner of the landscape where the land rises in modest, persistent swells toward the horizon. It lies 23.5 km south-south-west of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 204°T), and is situated 4.4 km south-south-east of Lac-Humqui. The Rivière Humqui Ouest carves a path through the terrain, its current acting as a persistent pulse that draws the eye toward the deeper greens of the valley. Only two kilometers away, the surface of Lac Lefrançois catches the low, slanted light of late afternoon, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that mirrors the surrounding pines. The air here holds a distinct, sharp clarity, smelling faintly of damp earth and cooling stone, as if the earth itself is exhaling after the heat of the day. To the south, the vast expanse of the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia marks the boundary of the wilder, more rugged stretches of the region, emphasizing the isolation that defines the character of Canton-Jetté. Life in Canton-Jetté follows the demands of the seasons, shaped by the persistent work of forestry and agriculture that has long anchored the local economy. Families here have built their routines around the steady, seasonal shifts of the climate, finding a kind of resilience in the cycles of clearing and harvest. While the pace of the modern world often feels distant, there is a particular satisfaction in the way the woodstoves begin to plume with smoke against a darkening sky, signaling the end of a day’s labor. This is a land of hard edges and honest work, where the connection to the immediate geography is not a choice, but a daily necessity that keeps the residents grounded to the rhythms of the Rivière Humqui Ouest.
Canton-Jetté déploie ses terres sur les rives apaisées de la Rivière Humqui Ouest, là où le terrain s'incline doucement vers les basses terres de la Matapédia. Dans ce secteur de Saint-Zénon-du-Lac-Humqui, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les pentes boisées avec une langueur presque minérale, révélant la texture rugueuse des écorces et la patience des champs qui attendent le retour des gelées. À deux kilomètres de là, les eaux immobiles du Lac Lefrançois captent les derniers reflets cuivrés du ciel, offrant une solitude propice à la réflexion. L'identité de Canton-Jetté se forge par un labeur historique lié à la terre et à la forêt, une ténacité silencieuse héritée des bâtisseurs qui ont défriché ces espaces sauvages. Bien que la Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia s'étende à une vingtaine de kilomètres, le territoire immédiat conserve cette âpreté noble des régions où la nature dicte ses propres lois. La vie quotidienne ici se rythme selon les nuances de l'air qui se rafraîchit dès que le soleil s'abaisse, imprégnant chaque demeure d'une odeur de bois sec et de terre humide. Entre les méandres de la Rivière Humqui Ouest et le silence des forêts environnantes, le paysage semble suspendu dans une immobilité vigilante, rappelant à quiconque s'y attarde que la terre appartient d'abord à ceux qui acceptent son rude climat et ses horizons sans détour.
