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 Grand-Étang.
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.

Grand-Étang is a locality in Rivière-Saint-Jean; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Grand-Étang is located at 49.1378°N, 64.7456°W.
Grand-Étang rests upon the rugged, salt-sprayed edge where the land yields to the St. Lawrence, its shores defined by the sharp, persistent proximity of the Le Clin. It lies 40.0 km north-north-west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 331°T), and is situated 14.8 km east-south-east of Pointe-à-la-Frégate. The air here holds a crystalline clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the St. Lawrence, while the terrain rises in quiet, heavy swells that seem to hold the memory of ancient geological shifts. Inland, the landscape softens toward the stillness of Lac à Chaux, which sits tucked away just 3 km from the coast, offering a dark, reflective contrast to the restless movement of the tides. Further out, the Rivière du Petit-Cloridorme carves its path through the wilderness about 8 km distant, serving as a reminder of the wilder, hidden arteries that feed the silence of the woods. The history of Grand-Étang lingers in the weathered wood of its dwellings and the steady, pragmatic focus of those who work the harvest of the sea. While Forillon National Park of Canada lies 39 km away, serving as a vast guardian of the peninsula’s natural heritage, the daily life of Grand-Étang draws its character from a closer, more immediate connection to the coastal winds and the seasonal migrations of the northern waters. Economic existence here remains anchored to the maritime traditions that first drew settlers to these shores, fostering a culture of self-reliance that mirrors the stark, enduring beauty of the Gaspé coast. Even as the modern world shifts, the people of Grand-Étang move with a measured awareness of the elements, respecting the cold, blue horizon that dictates the arrival of every dawn.
Grand-Étang s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief s’incline avec une précision abrupte vers les eaux froides, près du Clin. La lumière du couchant y dépose une teinte nacrée, révélant la texture minérale du sol et la robustesse des habitations qui font face aux vents salins. À trois kilomètres de distance, le Lac à Chaux semble retenir le silence des terres intérieures, tandis que la Rivière du Petit-Cloridorme serpente à huit kilomètres, apportant une fraîcheur discrète à ce paysage façonné par l’âpreté du littoral. L’histoire de Grand-Étang se lit dans la persistance de ses foyers, dont les fondations rappellent une lignée tournée vers la mer, puisant dans les ressources du large une économie humble mais tenace. Plus loin, vers l’est, le parc national Forillon du Canada marque l’horizon de sa silhouette protégée, conférant une solennité sauvage aux environs immédiats. L’air, chargé d’iode et de sel, semble ralentir le pas des jours, permettant aux habitants de maintenir une tradition de vie rythmée par les marées et les caprices du grand fleuve. Ici, chaque bâtisse et chaque sentier révèlent une intimité particulière avec les éléments, une manière de demeurer présent malgré l’isolement géographique de la péninsule.
