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 Dune-du-Sud.
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.

Dune-du-Sud is a hamlet in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine; Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Dune-du-Sud is located at 47.4192°N, 61.7575°W.
Dune-du-Sud anchors a fragile, shifting edge of the St. Lawrence, where the wind carries a persistent salt-heavy weight across the La Petite Pelée. It lies 9.8 km east-north-east of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC (from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC: bearing 60°T), and is situated 8.8 km east-north-east of Cap-aux-Meules. The terrain here is defined by soft, wind-blown contours that rise and fall against the horizon, creating a landscape that feels perpetually in motion. Sunlight at dusk catches the fine grains of sand, turning the dunes into pale, luminous ridges that seem to glow against the darkening expanse of the water. Le Petit Barachois sits just a short distance away, offering a sheltered contrast to the more exposed stretches of the coast, while the Réserve nationale de faune de la pointe de l'Est waits further out as a quiet sanctuary for the wilder elements of the archipelago. Life in Dune-du-Sud follows the patient demands of the sea, where the local economy has long been shaped by the harvest of the tides and the seasonal migration of fish. The houses are huddled low against the elements, standing as sturdy, practical structures that acknowledge the raw power of the storms rolling in from the north. There is a distinct clarity to the air here, a sharpness that makes every detail—the bleached wood of a wharf or the sudden flight of a shorebird—appear with startling intensity. Despite the isolation inherent to the geography of the islands, the people maintain a grounded, steady existence that respects the limits of the land and the vast, indifferent beauty of the surrounding waves.
Dune-du-Sud s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte le grès rouge avec une patience millénaire. Les falaises ocres semblent absorber la lumière déclinante du crépuscule, offrant une présence minérale saisissante à ceux qui parcourent ce rivage singulier. À quelques kilomètres, les eaux calmes du Petit Barachois dessinent un contraste paisible avec le ressac plus vigoureux de la mer ouverte, rappelant la fragilité de cet équilibre insulaire. L'air, saturé d'iode et de sel, imprègne chaque geste des habitants qui vivent au rythme des marées et des récoltes saisonnières, perpétuant des traditions héritées d'une longue lignée de marins et de bâtisseurs. Plus loin vers l'est, la Réserve nationale de faune de la pointe de l'Est protège les étendues dunaires et la vie sauvage, préservant un sanctuaire où la terre finit par s'effacer devant l'immensité bleue. La géographie de Dune-du-Sud impose une sobriété nécessaire, une manière d'être au monde qui privilégie la rigueur des éléments sur l'agitation du large. Ici, la mer ne se contente pas de border le paysage, elle définit l'existence même de ceux qui habitent ce bout de terre, transformant chaque lever de soleil sur le sable en une promesse renouvelée de persévérance face à l'horizon infini.

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.
