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 Cap-Chat.
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.

Cap-Chat is a town in Cap-Chat; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Cap-Chat is located at 49.0963°N, 66.6877°W.
Cap-Chat rests where the land meets the vast, shifting expanse of the St. Lawrence, defined by the steady currents of the Rivière Cap-Chat and the looming presence of Mont Bellevue. It lies 57.4 km south-east of Baie-Trinité, QC (from Baie-Trinité, QC: bearing 129°T), and is situated 15.0 km west-south-west of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The terrain here holds a rugged, north-facing stoicism, where the cool maritime air carries the salt of the estuary deep into the valleys. A few kilometers inland, the stillness of Lac Jourdain provides a quiet counterpoint to the restless motion of the coast, while the wilder reaches of Parc national de la Gaspésie wait about 35 km away, anchoring the horizon in a deep, forested permanence. At dusk, the light catches the whitecaps on the water, turning the surface into a field of hammered silver that reflects the brooding height of the nearby slopes. The story of Cap-Chat is rooted in the hard work of those who looked to the water and the timber for their survival. Early settlers found a living in the forest and along the riverbanks, establishing a local economy that has shifted over the decades from primary resource extraction toward a broader focus on renewable energy and regional services. The wind has become a distinct part of the modern identity of Cap-Chat, with large turbines rising above the landscape like sentinels that catch the constant coastal breeze. This shift toward wind power has brought a modern energy to an old coastal rhythm, yet the work of the people remains centered on the physical realities of the climate and the geography of the Gaspé Peninsula. Life in Cap-Chat moves with the changing tides, a daily cycle that keeps the residents mindful of the elemental forces at their doorstep. The culture remains deeply connected to the sea, reflected in the local traditions of craftsmanship and the shared knowledge of the coastal terrain. While famous figures are not the primary measure of the region, the character of the people is marked by a quiet resilience and a sharp, dry wit that matches the briskness of the northern wind. Visitors often notice that the horizon feels immense here, an openness that demands a certain humility from anyone who chooses to build their life in the shadow of the mountains and the reach of the tide.
Cap-Chat s’étire avec une élégance austère le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salin sculpte les visages et les esprits. Derrière les habitations, le Mont Bellevue dresse sa masse imposante, imposant une présence minérale qui semble veiller sur les activités des habitants. La rivière Cap-Chat serpente vers l’estuaire, charriant les souvenirs de ceux qui, depuis les débuts de la colonisation, ont puisé leur subsistance dans ces eaux vives et ces terres fertiles. À quelques kilomètres, le calme du Lac Jourdain contraste avec le souffle incessant du large, tandis que les vastes étendues du Parc national de la Gaspésie s’offrent aux regards à trente-cinq kilomètres de distance, rappelant la grandeur sauvage qui entoure Cap-Chat. L'industrie éolienne, avec ses silhouettes élancées tournées vers l'horizon, marque désormais le paysage, fusionnant l'innovation technologique à une tradition agricole et maritime profondément enracinée. Au crépuscule, lorsque la lumière décline sur le fleuve, le silence s'installe, révélant une quiétude propre aux lieux qui font face à l'immensité marine. Cette terre gaspésienne conserve une âme singulière, nourrie par une résilience discrète qui définit le quotidien de ceux qui choisissent de demeurer sur ce rivage tourné vers les tempêtes et les clartés changeantes du Grand Nord.
