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 Coin-des-Îles.
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.

Coin-des-Îles is a locality in Saint-Gédéon; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Coin-des-Îles is located at 48.5292°N, 71.7675°W.
Coin-des-Îles anchors itself firmly upon the northern shore of Lac Saint-Jean, a expanse where the horizon seems to dissolve into the pale, shifting light of the sky. It lies 8.7 km west-south-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 255°T), and is situated 13.6 km north-east of Métabetchouan–Lac-à-la-Croix. The land here rises toward the slopes of the Mont Résimond-Ratté, grounding the terrain in a rugged, stoic elevation that overlooks the great basin. When the wind pulls across the water, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity, tasting of cold currents and the deep, dark memory of the Saguenay River. While the distant Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon maintains its own wild solitude some twenty-four kilometers away, Coin-des-Îles exists in a more settled tension between the expansive lake and the encroaching forest. Life in Coin-des-Îles follows the seasonal shifts of the earth, where the local economy has long leaned into the yields of the soil and the bounty of the nearby waterways. The people here manage their days with a quiet competence, their routines shaped by the necessity of preparing for the long, heavy winters that define this corner of Saint-Gédéon. In the silence of early morning, the quiet hum of machinery or the distant call of waterfowl serves as the only punctuation to a landscape that feels both ancient and persistently alive. The heritage of this place is found in the persistence of those who work the land, ensuring that Coin-des-Îles remains a steady, watchful presence beside the vast, reflective surface of Lac Saint-Jean.
Coin-des-Îles s'étire avec une langueur singulière sur les rives du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la lumière décline avec une précision mélancolique derrière le Mont Résimond-Ratté. Le vent qui remonte depuis les rives de la rivière Saguenay apporte une fraîcheur vive, rappelant aux habitants la rigueur des éléments qui façonnent depuis toujours le travail de la terre et la vie quotidienne. À quelques lieues de distance, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon impose sa présence silencieuse, offrant une respiration immense dans le paysage boréal. Les résidents de Coin-des-Îles observent le ciel changer de teinte sur les eaux vastes du lac, une activité devenue presque une liturgie, tandis que le bruissement des feuillages près des sentiers rappelle la proximité de la forêt sauvage. Ici, chaque geste porte la marque d'une patience héritée des premiers défricheurs, ceux qui ont su apprivoiser ce terrain accidenté avec une obstination tranquille. Les soirées s'y prolongent dans une pénombre bleutée, quand le silence retombe sur les rives, laissant percer seulement le murmure lointain des eaux qui s'écoulent. La réalité de Coin-des-Îles demeure intimement liée à ces horizons ouverts et à cette terre généreuse qui, malgré les saisons, conserve sa dignité austère et son calme souverain.
