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 Caps-de-Maria.
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.

Caps-de-Maria is a hamlet in Carleton-sur-Mer; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Caps-de-Maria is located at 48.1283°N, 66.0428°W.
Caps-de-Maria occupies a quiet, salt-sprayed ledge along the St. Lawrence, where the land holds its breath against the expansive reach of the tide. It lies 14.0 km west-south-west of New Richmond, QC (from New Richmond, QC: bearing 254°T), and is situated 6.6 km east-north-east of Carleton-sur-Mer. The horizon here is defined by the subtle, persistent presence of the Buttereau des Pins Rouges, where the wind carries the scent of needles and brine across the shifting shoreline. Light at dusk possesses a singular, cool clarity, catching the crests of the water and illuminating the textures of the earth in shades of slate and deep, earthen ochre. Nearby, the Barachois de Carleton acts as a sanctuary for the shifting waters, providing a slow-moving mirror to the sky that anchors the landscape in stillness. Life in Caps-de-Maria moves with the predictable, deep-seated pulse of the maritime seasons, drawing strength from a heritage that looks perpetually toward the horizon. While the Rivière Verte flows with a steady, quiet resolve some distance away, the local economy maintains a steady focus on the bounty of the coast and the resilience of those who tend its edges. The nearby Parc national de Miguasha stands as a silent keeper of ancient, petrified stories, grounding the region in a vast geological timeline that transcends human memory. Residents of Caps-de-Maria go about their days with a pragmatic grace, finding beauty in the stark, unadorned utility of the docks and the way the morning fog clings to the low-lying coast before retreating into the blue.
Caps-de-Maria s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard se perd dans l'immensité saline, non loin du Buttereau des Pins Rouges dont les silhouettes veillent sur le rivage. Dans cette contrée d'Avignon, la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, venant caresser les galets et les herbes marines avant de s'éteindre sur les eaux sombres. À quelques lieues, la Rivière Verte apporte une fraîcheur vive qui se mêle aux embruns, tandis que le Barachois de Carleton dessine des méandres paisibles, offrant aux oiseaux migrateurs un refuge entre terre et marée. L'esprit des lieux se nourrit de cette géographie austère où le labeur des anciens a façonné un quotidien tourné vers la mer. Plus loin, le Parc national de Miguasha conserve en ses strates rocheuses le souvenir des âges lointains, rappelant aux habitants de Caps-de-Maria que leur terre repose sur une mémoire minérale profonde. Ici, le vent porte en lui les échos d'une culture acadienne tenace, une résilience qui se perçoit dans la droiture des maisons et dans le silence recueilli du crépuscule. La vie s'écoule au rythme des marées, dans une harmonie simple entre l'homme et la rigueur du climat, faisant de chaque journée une modeste célébration de l'existence sur ce bord du monde.
