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-d'Espoir.
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-d'Espoir is a village in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-d'Espoir is located at 48.4283°N, 64.3289°W.
Cap-d'Espoir rests where the rugged coastline meets the vast, shifting expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 13.7 km south-west of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 219°T), and is situated 12.8 km east-north-east of Grande-Rivière. The land here rises to meet Le Sugar Loaf, a silent sentinel watching over the salt-crusted earth and the cold, bracing air that pulls in from the gulf. Near the mouth of the Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils, the light at dusk settles in a pale, bruised violet, casting long shadows across the salt-bleached stones that line the shore. Inland, the hidden stillness of Lac à Savage offers a stark contrast to the relentless motion of the tides, grounding the landscape in a quiet, dark reflection of the sky. Generations in Cap-d'Espoir have turned their gaze toward the water, building an economy upon the bounty of the sea and the resilience required by such a prominent, exposed position. The proximity to Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé underscores a heritage deeply tied to the maritime environment, where the rhythm of the work day follows the rising and falling of the surf. Life here holds a certain clarity, stripped of unnecessary ornament, much like the weathered buildings that face the wind. The people carry on with a steady, pragmatic grace, acknowledging the influence of the horizon that defines their daily horizon and the distinct, bracing solitude that winter brings to the coast.
Cap-d'Espoir s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent avec une ténacité qui semble défier les assauts des marées. Ici, le terrain bascule doucement vers l'eau, marqué par la silhouette familière du Sugar Loaf qui veille sur les activités maritimes depuis ses hauteurs. Le courant de la Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils apporte une fraîcheur constante, mêlant ses eaux douces aux embruns salés qui imprègnent chaque paroi des maisons. À seulement trois kilomètres, le Lac à Savage repose dans un calme minéral, tandis qu'au loin, à quatorze kilomètres, le Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé dresse ses falaises protectrices contre l'horizon. L'économie locale, façonnée par les cycles de la pêche et une longue tradition acadienne, se lit dans la gestuelle précise des habitants qui entretiennent leurs embarcations aux premières lueurs du jour. Lorsque le crépuscule dépose une lumière ambrée sur les galets, Cap-d'Espoir révèle une intimité singulière, celle d'un espace où la terre ferme finit par céder devant l'immensité marine. Les récits des anciens, portés par le vent, persistent dans cette atmosphère où chaque détail, de la rugosité des quais aux reflets changeants du large, compose une existence simple et rythmée par les caprices naturels de cette côte gaspésienne.
