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 Gignac.
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.

Gignac is a hamlet in Hope Town; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Gignac is located at 48.0686°N, 65.1403°W.
Gignac rests where the land bows toward the St. Lawrence, a quiet stretch of coast defined by the presence of the Colline de Port-Daniel. It lies 9.1 km east-north-east of Paspébiac, QC (from Paspébiac, QC: bearing 62°T), and is situated 15.5 km east-north-east of New Carlisle. The air here holds the sharp, salt-edged clarity of the gulf, carrying the scent of drying kelp and cold, deep water across the shore. Near the mouth of the Rivière de Saint-Godefroi, the terrain settles into a stillness that feels ancient, punctuated only by the rhythmic pull of the tide against the stones. A short distance away, the sheltered waters of Le Barachois offer a sanctuary for the local gulls, their calls piercing the veil of mist that frequently clings to the shoreline at dawn. The life of Gignac has long been shaped by the meeting of the forest and the sea, with the Réserve faunique de Port-Daniel standing as a vast, wooded anchor to the interior. Historically, those who settled these reaches looked to the water for their livelihood, building a culture that respects the changing moods of the coast. Today, the economy remains rooted in the bounty of the surroundings, reflecting a heritage of self-reliance that persists in the way houses are kept and nets are mended. Even as the modern world turns, Gignac retains a character defined by the patience of the tides and the long, slanted light that illuminates the Colline de Port-Daniel as the day draws to a close.
Gignac se déploie avec une humilité certaine sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s'étire vers l'horizon marin tandis que la silhouette de la Colline de Port-Daniel impose sa présence minérale sur le littoral. Dans ce secteur de Hope Town, la Rivière de Saint-Godefroi serpente avec une lenteur calculée, apportant à Gignac une fraîcheur qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. À proximité, le Barachois modifie la physionomie des marées, créant des étendues où le sable et l'eau s'apprivoisent dans un silence presque religieux. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les reliefs, accentuant le grain de la terre et la rudesse douce de ce paysage façonné par le sel et le vent. Si la Réserve faunique de Port-Daniel demeure à une distance respectueuse, son existence imprègne l'air d'une sauvagerie contenue, rappelant que la nature impose ici ses propres lois. La vie s'organise selon un rythme singulier, hérité d'une ténacité agricole et maritime qui persiste dans la façon dont les maisons tournent leur façade vers le large, guettant les changements de pression atmosphérique. Rien ne semble pressé, tout se maintient dans une harmonie simple, portée par la respiration constante du grand fleuve qui lie Gignac à son histoire.
