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-aux-Oies.
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-aux-Oies is a hamlet in Les Éboulements; Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-aux-Oies is located at 47.4975°N, 70.2422°W.
Cap-aux-Oies clings to the steep, rocky margins where the land of Les Éboulements drops sharply toward the St. Lawrence. It lies 18.6 km south-south-west of La Malbaie, QC (from La Malbaie, QC: bearing 202°T), and is situated 13.9 km north-east of Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer. The air here tastes of salt and cold currents, bearing the heavy, damp silence of a shoreline that has watched the tides move for centuries. Near the La Tourelle, the earth hardens into stubborn ridges, while the inland terrain offers a quieter solitude, with Lac chez Arthur resting about 3 km away and the Rivière du Seigneur winding its course through the brush some 8 km distant. At dusk, the light loses its warmth and turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter, revealing the stark, unyielding silhouette of the coast against the darkening sky. The history of Cap-aux-Oies is defined by the resilience of those who looked to the river for their survival, anchoring their lives to the seasonal shifts of the water and the narrow strips of workable ground. Agriculture and small-scale maritime activity long provided the steady, modest heartbeat of the region, where the work of the day follows the light and the wind rather than the clock. Today, the stillness of the landscape persists, marked by a cultural character that prizes self-reliance and an intimate knowledge of the rugged terrain. People move through their tasks with a deliberate care, acknowledging the demands of a geography that is as beautiful as it is indifferent to human effort.
Cap-aux-Oies s'étire le long des escarpements rocheux où le Saint-Laurent déploie ses eaux vastes et froides, marquant de sa présence austère le littoral de La Tourelle. La lumière du crépuscule y décline avec une lenteur solennelle, venant caresser les falaises escarpées qui dominent le fleuve, tandis qu'à quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac chez Arthur repose dans un calme immuable, préservé du tumulte des marées. Plus loin, le cours sinueux de la Rivière du Seigneur chemine à travers les reliefs accidentés, rappelant la rudesse d'une terre façonnée par le labeur des générations agricoles qui ont su dompter ces sols charlevoisiens. Le vent qui remonte du large porte en lui le sel et l'âpreté des hivers, forgeant le caractère trempé des habitants de Cap-aux-Oies, dont les traditions persistent dans le silence des champs et la rigueur du climat. Ici, la terre se fait haute et le regard porte loin vers l'horizon changeant, entre la terre ferme et l'immensité mouvante du courant. Chaque pierre et chaque sentier révèlent la patience de ceux qui ont bâti leur existence sur ces promontoires, entre la forêt dense et la rive où le fleuve dicte sa loi, offrant une beauté dépouillée aux yeux de qui sait observer la force de ce relief singulier.
