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 Caplan-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.

Caplan-Ouest is a hamlet in Caplan; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Caplan-Ouest is located at 48.1356°N, 65.7308°W.
Caplan-Ouest holds a quiet, steady presence along the northern shore of the St. Lawrence, where the land slopes toward the salt air and the wide, grey expanse of the water. It lies 10.1 km east-south-east of New Richmond, QC (from New Richmond, QC: bearing 107°T), and is situated 5.4 km north-west of Caplan. The Rivière Caplan cuts a path through the terrain, its course marking the life of the valley before it meets the sea near the landmark of Le Calvaire. Inland, the landscape holds its own secrets, with the waters of Lac du Cinquante Cents resting about 12 km away, a still mirror tucked into the quiet interior. Closer to the coast, the Chutes de la Plage drop toward the shore just 3 km from the settlement, providing a constant, low murmur that carries through the cool evening mist. The light here at dusk possesses a singular clarity, turning the fields a deep, bruised violet while the horizon begins to blur into the darkening tide. The history of Caplan-Ouest remains tied to the hard-won gains of the soil and the seasonal bounty drawn from the river and the gulf. Generations have shaped their days around the cycles of the harvest and the shifting moods of the St. Lawrence, maintaining an economy rooted in the practical demands of farming and the local resources at hand. Life in Caplan-Ouest follows the turn of the seasons with a deliberate gravity, valuing the endurance of the local families who have worked this ground for decades. Even now, one finds a particular satisfaction in the way the morning fog clings to the banks of the Rivière Caplan, grounding the houses and barns in a world that feels both ancient and entirely present.
Caplan-Ouest se déploie avec une retenue souveraine le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air iodé semble suspendre le cours des heures. Les habitants de Caplan-Ouest habitent ce rebord du monde avec une patience héritée des labeurs agricoles et de la mer, cultivant une existence modeste entre les méandres de la Rivière Caplan et la proximité du Calvaire. À trois kilomètres, les Chutes de la Plage déclinent leur murmure constant, une ponctuation liquide dans le silence de la côte, tandis que le Lac du Cinquante Cents demeure, à douze kilomètres de distance, une présence discrète et profonde nichée dans l'arrière-pays. Le crépuscule y dépose une lumière particulière, une teinte bleutée qui souligne la texture des terres et le tracé des chemins côtiers, révélant une élégance austère dans chaque bâtiment de bois. Les traditions, marquées par un héritage acadien qui imprègne encore les manières de dire et de faire, se perpétuent dans la répétition des gestes quotidiens, sans ostentation. Ici, le paysage impose son rythme lent, obligeant le regard à se porter vers l'horizon marin ou vers la terre ferme, où chaque élément géographique, de la rivière aux chutes, participe à la structure intime de ce territoire singulier.
