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 Gallant.
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.

Gallant is a hamlet in Colombier; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Gallant is located at 48.8800°N, 68.8717°W.
Gallant clings to the edge of the St. Lawrence, where the vast, cold water meets a shoreline defined by the quiet endurance of the Quebec landscape. It lies 21.8 km north-east of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 44°T), and is situated 2.0 km west-north-west of Colombier. The air here holds a distinct sharpness, carrying the salt-heavy breath of the estuary inward toward the trees. Petit lac Bédard lies tucked away just 3 km from the houses, its surface often mirroring the slate-grey clouds that drift low over the basin. Nearby, the Rivière Colombier cuts a path through the earth about 7 km from the settlement, its currents carving through the terrain with a persistent, liquid gravity that dictates the movement of the land itself. Life in Gallant follows the seasonal shifts of La Haute-Côte-Nord, where the economy has long been shaped by the presence of the forest and the reach of the tides. The people who settle here carry a familiarity with the woods and the water, maintaining a connection to the primary industries that have sustained families across generations. In the late afternoon, the light turns a bruised violet, catching the edges of the spruce and the stillness of the nearby inland waters. Gallant exists as a point of quiet focus along the coast, a place where the work of the day concludes under an immense, darkening sky that seems to press down, grounding every home and road in the raw, northern geography.
Gallant s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’horizon maritime semble aspirer la lumière déclinante du soir. Ce territoire de la Haute-Côte-Nord, façonné par les vents salins et une terre exigeante, porte en lui la rigueur des espaces vastes. À trois kilomètres de distance, le Petit lac Bédard offre une halte de silence, ses eaux sombres contrastant avec le mouvement perpétuel du grand fleuve voisin. Plus loin, à environ sept kilomètres, la Rivière Colombier trace un sillon tranquille à travers le relief, rappelant aux habitants la présence constante des courants. La vie à Gallant se déploie dans une sobriété qui honore les gestes lents des travailleurs forestiers et agricoles, héritiers d’une ténacité forgée par le climat boréal. Ici, le ciel occupe une place démesurée, changeant de texture selon que la brume monte du large ou que le soleil s’attarde sur les rochers polis. Chaque battement du quotidien se règle sur le souffle des marées, imposant une patience ancienne aux familles installées sur ces terres. Dans ce cadre dépouillé, la nature ne se contente pas d’entourer les demeures, elle les définit, imposant une présence minérale et aquatique qui dicte le rythme des journées.

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.
