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 Douglastown.
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.

Douglastown is a village in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Douglastown is located at 48.7739°N, 64.3794°W.
Douglastown rests where the land leans toward the St. Lawrence, cradled by the quiet presence of Le Sugar Loaf and the steady flow of the Rivière Saint-Jean. It lies 9.1 km south-east of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 128°T), and is situated 30.4 km north-north-west of Percé. The air here holds a sharp, salt-edged clarity, cooling as the light fades into a bruised violet over the water. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the terrain stretches toward the rugged expanse of Forillon National Park of Canada, while Lac La Chesnaye sits tucked away in the distance, a hidden mirror to the vast sky. The earth beneath Douglastown feels ancient and patient, its slopes rising with a stubborn grace that defies the persistent press of the tides. Established by settlers who sought a life between the forest and the sea, Douglastown has long looked to the water to sustain its people. The local economy persists through a measured reliance on the bounty of the coast and the seasonal yield of the land, maintaining a character shaped by the resilience of those who arrived generations ago. Daily life moves with the tides, marked by the call of gulls and the persistent, low-frequency hum of the wind moving through the trees. Even now, the pride of the residents endures in the simple, sturdy architecture and the way the community keeps its history close, turning toward the horizon with the same steady gaze as the mountains themselves.
Douglastown s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard se perd dans le tumulte salin des marées. Le relief s’élève doucement vers le Sugar Loaf, sentinelle immobile dominant les ondulations du terrain, tandis que la Rivière Saint-Jean trace son sillage tranquille à travers les terres, nourrissant une mémoire où se mêlent les héritages irlandais et acadiens. À mesure que le jour décline, une lumière d’opale enveloppe les champs, révélant la texture rugueuse des écorces et le silence persistant des espaces ouverts. L’éloignement du Lac La Chesnaye et la présence proche du parc national Forillon du Canada imprègnent l’air d’une fraîcheur sauvage, rappelant aux habitants que la nature impose ici son rythme immuable. Douglastown conserve dans ses maisons de bois et ses chemins tournés vers l'est une manière d'exister héritée des premiers pêcheurs et cultivateurs qui ont su apprivoiser ces sols ingrats. Les vents marins sculptent le quotidien, chassant les brumes matinales pour découvrir des horizons où le ciel et l’eau se confondent dans une même immensité bleue. Rien ne semble altérer cette sérénité austère, sinon le passage lent des heures et le murmure constant de la Rivière Saint-Jean qui s’écoule vers l’inconnu, liant chaque demeure à la respiration profonde du large.
