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 Fontenelle.
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.

Fontenelle is a hamlet in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Fontenelle is located at 48.8883°N, 64.5494°W.
Fontenelle rests upon the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the shifting tides pull against the shoreline with a cold, insistent grace. It lies 8.9 km north-west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 323°T), and is situated 17.8 km north-west of Douglastown. Near the steep rise of the Le Sugar Loaf, the land holds a quiet, austere beauty, especially when the late afternoon light flattens against the slope and turns the water into beaten pewter. The Rivière Dartmouth cuts through the terrain, its currents carrying the crisp, sharp scent of inland forests toward the salt air of the coast. Inland, the high, hidden reaches of Lac de la Montagne de Roche sit in silent repose, while the vast, protected stretches of Forillon National Park of Canada stand guard over the peninsula’s final, jagged reaches. Life in Fontenelle moves with the pulse of the sea and the seasonal cycles of the Gaspé, reflecting a history deeply tied to the extraction of maritime wealth. The economy has long drawn sustenance from the cold, deep waters, with local families maintaining a connection to the traditions of the harvest that once defined the entire coast. Even as modern industry evolves, Fontenelle retains a sense of permanence, grounded by the sheer mass of the surrounding hills and the relentless, rhythmic heave of the St. Lawrence. People here navigate their days with a steady awareness of the weather, respecting the heavy mist that often descends to blur the line between the dark, forested slopes and the gray expanse of the horizon.
Fontenelle s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du large vient caresser les terres en pente douce. Le regard se perd vers le Sugar Loaf, dont la silhouette familière domine l'horizon et offre un repère immuable aux habitants qui ont appris à lire la marée. À proximité, le cours tranquille de la Rivière Dartmouth serpente entre les replis du relief, apportant une fraîcheur constante qui imprègne les jardins et les vergers. Vers l'intérieur des terres, le Lac de la Montagne de Roche dort dans un silence minéral, à une distance qui invite à la contemplation des sommets. Plus loin, le parc national Forillon du Canada protège les escarpements sauvages, rappelant la rudesse et la beauté brute de ce littoral gaspésien. Fontenelle conserve le souvenir des premiers laboureurs qui ont défriché ces sols rocailleux, transformant les boisés en espaces de vie où la lumière du crépuscule, dorée et longue, semble suspendre le cours des heures. L'air y est vif, chargé des effluves de la mer et de la terre humide, créant une atmosphère où la simplicité des gestes quotidiens répond à la grandeur d'un décor façonné par les éléments depuis des éons.

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.
