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 Desrosiers.
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.

Desrosiers is a locality in Baie-des-Sables; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Desrosiers is located at 48.7439°N, 67.8139°W.
Desrosiers anchors itself along the cooling expanse of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises toward the steady silhouette of the Montagne des Caron. It lies 23.5 km west-south-west of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 242°T), and is situated 6.4 km east-north-east of Baie-des-Sables. The Rivière Tartigou cuts a persistent path through the terrain, its waters carrying the scent of salt and damp earth toward the horizon. Near the quiet stretch of Lac Victo, the air holds a particular clarity, turning the light sharp and silver as the sun retreats behind the slopes. Life in Desrosiers follows the seasonal migration of the wind, grounded in the persistence of those who work the coastal soil and harvest the bounty of the nearby currents. The legacy of the region remains visible in the modest architecture that turns its face toward the water, standing firm against the gusts that sweep in from the maritime expanse. Industry here stays close to the earth and the tides, reflecting a character shaped by the raw edges of the northern coast. Residents move with a quiet intention, their daily routines punctuated by the sound of the Rivière Tartigou navigating its rocky bed toward the sea.
Desrosiers s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme dans une danse immuable. Les hauteurs de la Montagne des Caron dominent le relief, veillant sur les terres agricoles qui descendent doucement vers les eaux froides, tandis que la Rivière Tartigou serpente à travers ce paysage façonné par les vents du nord. À quelques lieues de là, les reflets argentés du Lac Victo capturent la lumière déclinante du crépuscule, offrant une quiétude que seul le bruissement des hautes herbes vient troubler. Le quotidien à Desrosiers s'articule autour de cette géographie austère et généreuse, où chaque récolte et chaque marée dictent une existence rythmée par la rudesse du climat et la patience des hommes. Les familles installées sur ces terres cultivent une mémoire silencieuse, puisant leur force dans la proximité immédiate de ces éléments naturels qui délimitent leur horizon. En observant la lumière se perdre sur l'estuaire, on perçoit la ténacité de ceux qui ont su apprivoiser ce sol rocailleux, transformant cette étendue sauvage en un foyer durable. Ici, le ciel immense et le mouvement perpétuel des eaux composent une réalité singulière, loin de l'agitation du monde, où la terre et le fleuve semblent se parler à voix basse.

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.
