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 Capucins.
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.

Capucins is a village in Cap-Chat; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Capucins is located at 49.0500°N, 66.8444°W.
Capucins rests upon the salt-scoured edge of the St. Lawrence, where the reach of the tide meets the rugged northern slope of the Gaspé Peninsula. It lies 12.5 km west-south-west of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 246°T), and is situated 11.5 km east-north-east of Les Méchins. The weight of the cold air carries the scent of brine and damp stone, particularly near the Côte à Bouleaux, where the land tilts sharply toward the grey expanse of the water. Inland, the Rivière des Grands Capucins carves a narrow, persistent path through the terrain, its current providing a constant, low-frequency hum against the silence of the woods. Nearby, the still surface of Lac Saint-Pierre mirrors the shifting clouds, offering a brief, reflective pause in a landscape defined by the relentless push of the sea. At dusk, the light here thins into a pale, translucent violet, settling over the rocky shoreline until the distinction between the water and the horizon fades into a single, darkening seam. The history of Capucins aligns with the broader struggle to harvest a living from the coastal fringe, where the economy has long looked toward the bounty of the St. Lawrence. Small-scale maritime activities and the slow, deliberate work of seasonal resource management define the local way of life, keeping the inhabitants attuned to the seasonal cycles of the water. Traditions here are quiet and private, passed through the daily maintenance of gear and the shared knowledge of the shifting currents. The people of Capucins move with a measured intention, respecting the authority of a climate that dictates the pace of every season. On clear days, the clarity of the atmosphere brings the far reaches of the coastline into sharp focus, revealing a rugged beauty that demands a certain stoicism from those who remain.
Capucins s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent avec une patience minérale, là où le regard se perd dans le mouvement incessant des marées. Le paysage s'articule autour de la Rivière des Grands Capucins, dont le cours sculpte une échancrure familière dans le relief avant de se fondre dans l'immensité saline. À proximité, le Lac Saint-Pierre repose dans un calme absolu, à deux kilomètres à peine, offrant une pause d'eau douce dans le déploiement côtier de La Haute-Gaspésie. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, étirant les ombres des habitations vers les pentes de Côte à Bouleaux, tandis que l'air, chargé d'iode, porte le souvenir des activités forestières et maritimes qui ont façonné l'existence des résidents. Les maisons, tournées vers le large, semblent guetter le retour des horizons, marquant une présence humaine tenace sur ce littoral façonné par les vents. À Capucins, le rythme des journées s'accorde au battement régulier du fleuve, créant une atmosphère où l'austérité du climat rencontre la profondeur tranquille des terres gaspésiennes, invitant à une contemplation silencieuse face à l'étendue bleue qui ne cesse de se réinventer.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
