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-au-Renard.
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-au-Renard is a hamlet in La Martre; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-au-Renard is located at 49.1950°N, 66.2408°W.
Cap-au-Renard clings to the rugged northern edge of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the land rises sharply from the St. Lawrence to meet the sky. It lies 34.3 km east-north-east of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 71°T), and is situated 19.3 km east-north-east of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The air here tastes of salt and cold currents, carrying the weight of the vast, deep waters that press against the rocky shore. Inland, the terrain folds into the quiet, wooded reaches of Les Sauteux, where the Rivière à la Martre Ouest carves its path through the dense terrain. Not far from the coast, the stillness of Lac à Wellie offers a hidden, glassy contrast to the restless motion of the tides. When the sun retreats behind the heights, the light lingers in a bruised, amber glow against the cliffs, turning the jagged coastline into a silhouette of iron and shadow. Life in Cap-au-Renard maintains a connection to the primary forces of the earth, dictated by the cycles of the harvest and the seasonal shifts of the northern climate. While the distant, vast expanses of Parc national de la Gaspésie draw those seeking the solace of the deep wilderness, the people of the coast find their identity in the harsh, rewarding proximity of the sea. The local economy persists through a grounded reliance on the maritime bounty and the quiet endurance of those who work the land. Even as modern demands press inward, the community retains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored by the unchanging presence of the tides and the wind that sweeps across the cliffs. It is a existence refined by the elements, where the turning of the seasons provides the only clock that truly matters.
Cap-au-Renard s’étire avec une humilité solennelle sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient polir les galets sous une lumière argentée qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. Les falaises abruptes imposent leur présence minérale, offrant aux résidents un horizon dégagé dont la rudesse se tempère à la faveur du crépuscule. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière à la Martre Ouest serpente dans une vallée étroite, tandis que les eaux tranquilles du Lac à Wellie conservent le silence des terres intérieures. Si l’on s’aventure plus loin vers le sud, le Parc national de la Gaspésie déploie son relief majestueux, rappelant la proximité immédiate de sommets qui dictent, par leur simple existence, la rigueur et la beauté du climat. Cap-au-Renard vit au rythme des marées et de cette terre exigeante qui a façonné le caractère tenace des habitants, héritiers d’une tradition de labeur entre terre et mer. Chaque demeure observe le passage des navires, veillant sur une quiétude que seul le vent marin ose parfois rompre. Dans cet espace où le ciel touche l’eau, le paysage impose une sobriété nécessaire, transformant chaque lever de soleil en une promesse renouvelée de permanence face à l’immensité bleue.
