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-Ouest.
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-Ouest is a locality in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-Ouest is located at 48.3856°N, 70.7864°W.
Cap-Ouest rests upon the rugged shoulders of the St. Lawrence, where the wide, cold currents pull against the shoreline with a steady, ancient gravity. It lies 20.9 km east-south-east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 103°T), and is situated 14.9 km west of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord. The air here holds a sharp, clean clarity that carries the scent of spruce and damp stone, particularly as evening light settles over the water. Inland, the terrain rises into dense, shadowed woods where Lac du Castor sits hidden in a quiet basin just 2 km away, its surface often mirroring the low, heavy clouds of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Farther out, the Rivière Pelletier carves a path through the brush 6 km from the shore, while the more distant, thunderous spray of Chutes à Gamelin remains 13 km removed from the immediate reach of the coast. To the north, the sprawling wilderness of Parc national des Monts-Valin marks the horizon at a distance of 26 km, framing a landscape that feels vast and largely indifferent to the passing of human clocks. The history of Cap-Ouest is written in the debris of the tide and the persistence of those who navigated these waters long before the modern docks were timbered. Life in Cap-Ouest moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence, balancing the demands of a local economy rooted in the extraction of northern resources and the quiet maintenance of regional trade. The people carry a reserve typical of the north, a disposition shaped by the necessity of enduring long winters and the brief, brilliant intensity of the short growing season. Even as industry changes, the bedrock of the local identity stays fixed to the rhythm of the river, where the morning mist clings to the hulls of passing vessels and the silence of the woods provides a counterpoint to the persistent, low-frequency hum of regional commerce.
Cap-Ouest s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salé rencontre la rudesse des terres du Saguenay. Dans cette lumière déclinante qui colore les eaux d'un gris d'acier, le paysage se révèle avec une précision mélancolique, portée par la proximité du Lac du Castor situé à deux kilomètres à peine. Le regard se porte vers les hauteurs, vers le Parc national des Monts-Valin qui dessine une silhouette imposante à vingt-six kilomètres de distance, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Pelletier, serpentant à six kilomètres, murmurent leur passage vers l'immensité. Plus loin, le fracas lointain des Chutes à Gamelin, à treize kilomètres, rappelle la puissance minérale de ce territoire façonné par les glaciers et les âges. À Cap-Ouest, la vie s'organise selon un rythme ancien, entre les héritages forestiers et la culture de la terre, où chaque habitant connaît la texture du sol sous ses bottes et le froid vif qui descend des sommets. L'existence ici possède la noblesse simple des choses qui durent, un quotidien marqué par l'horizon immense du fleuve et le silence des forêts environnantes qui enveloppent les demeures d'une protection austère et bienveillante.

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.
