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-Saint-Ignace.
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-Saint-Ignace is a municipality in Cap-Saint-Ignace; Montmagny, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Cap-Saint-Ignace is located at 47.0375°N, 70.4568°W.
The horizons of Cap-Saint-Ignace stretch wide where the land meets the broad, tidal reaches of the St. Lawrence. It lies 9.9 km north-east of Montmagny, QC (from Montmagny, QC: bearing 51°T), and is situated 11.8 km south-south-west of L'Islet-sur-Mer. The terrain rises toward the Colline du Télégraphe, a rise that catches the morning light and holds the salt-heavy air against the slopes. Nearby, the waters of the Rivière Vincelotte carve a steady path through the fields, their movement audible only when the wind settles. Inland, the landscape hides quiet retreats like Lac à Tonin, tucked five kilometers away, while the persistent sound of water echoes at Chutes à Zado, some seven kilometers from the center. At dusk, the light here turns a pale, bruised violet, casting long shadows that emphasize the sharp, clean lines of the coastal fields. Generations in Cap-Saint-Ignace have built their days around the rhythm of the soil and the proximity of the water, fostering a culture grounded in deep-rooted agricultural and maritime traditions. The local economy persists through a deliberate blend of farming and small-scale industry, where the pride of the harvest remains as constant as the changing tides. Life here moves with the seasons, from the heavy damp of spring thaws to the crisp, clear stillness of winter, preserving a character that values endurance over haste. One finds a distinct sense of order in the way the buildings face the river, turned toward the expanse as if waiting for the next shift in the current to arrive.
Cap-Saint-Ignace s’étire avec une noblesse tranquille le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’air salin s’alourdit de la promesse des marées. Le relief se dessine avec une précision sereine vers la Colline du Télégraphe, offrant un belvédère naturel sur les terres basses qui ont vu s’enraciner des générations de laboureurs. La Rivière Vincelotte serpente à travers ce territoire, apportant sa fraîcheur constante à une terre qui préserve jalousement sa vocation agricole et son héritage de patience. À quelques lieues, le Lac à Tonin recueille les reflets changeants du ciel, tandis que les Chutes à Zado ponctuent le paysage d’un murmure continu, rappelant la puissance sourde et tranquille des eaux intérieures. Cap-Saint-Ignace vit au rythme de ces éléments, dans une intimité pudique avec le fleuve qui impose sa lumière grise et argentée, surtout lorsque le crépuscule glisse sur les plaines cultivées. Ici, les traditions ne sont pas des objets de musée, mais une manière d’habiter le monde, une façon de transformer le bois et le sol en une existence solide, faite de gestes répétés et de respect pour cette terre qui, depuis les premiers défrichements, exige autant qu’elle offre en retour.
