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 Escuminac Flats.
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.

Escuminac Flats is a hamlet in Escuminac; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Escuminac Flats is located at 48.1186°N, 66.4528°W.
Escuminac Flats stretches along the shore of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the heavy, salt-edged breath of the estuary. It lies 8.2 km north-west of Baie-des-Hérons, QC (from Baie-des-Hérons, QC: bearing 315°T), and is situated 11.5 km north-north-west of Bois-Joli. The low-lying terrain finds its focus near Convent Hill, a rise that watches over the Rivière Escuminac as it carries the inland melt toward the sea. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar clarity, turning the water into polished slate while the shadows stretch long and cool across the flats. Not far removed, the natural history of the region is preserved at Parc national de Miguasha, a site that anchors the landscape in the ancient debris of time. Within a day’s reach, the water tumbles through the Chutes de Brébeuf, while the quiet basin of Petit lac à Ted rests in the deeper, wooded silence of the interior. Life in Escuminac Flats persists in close dialogue with the tides and the seasonal shifts of the northern climate. The local economy draws its strength from the water and the soil, maintaining a connection to the land that feels both practical and steady. Generations have observed the movement of the Rivière Escuminac, adapting their work to the demands of a coastal geography that offers little shelter from the wind. This is a region defined by the persistence of those who remain, where the daily routine aligns with the turning of the tide and the cold, crisp air that rises off the St. Lawrence. Even as the modern world encroaches, Escuminac Flats holds to a quiet, grounded identity, shaped by the raw beauty of its immediate surroundings.
Escuminac Flats s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du large rencontre la terre généreuse de la péninsule. Non loin de la colline Convent, le regard glisse sur les méandres de la Rivière Escuminac, dont les eaux charrient les souvenirs d'une terre marquée par l'héritage acadien et une ténacité héritée des premiers défricheurs. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Parc national de Miguasha révèle, dans ses strates fossilifères, la lenteur des éons, tandis que les eaux vives des Chutes de Brébeuf murmurent une mélodie constante, presque imperceptible, dans le silence des bois environnants. Le Petit lac à Ted, niché dans une discrétion végétale à cinq kilomètres, semble retenir le ciel dans son miroir immobile, invitant à une contemplation que seul le passage des nuages ose interrompre. La vie à Escuminac Flats se déploie selon un rythme dicté par les marées et les récoltes, une existence humble qui puise sa force dans la fidélité au sol et à l'horizon. Sous la lumière dorée du crépuscule, le paysage prend une densité singulière, soulignant la rudesse élégante de ces étendues où le vent ne cesse jamais tout à fait son dialogue avec les arbres et les rivages.
