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 Grande-Rivière.
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.

Grande-Rivière is a town in Grande-Rivière; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Grande-Rivière is located at 48.4001°N, 64.4967°W.
Grande-Rivière rests where the rugged coastline meets the St. Lawrence, defined by the steady, salt-heavy air that flows inland from the open water. It lies 14.6 km east-north-east of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 67°T), and is situated 6.2 km west-south-west of Sainte-Thérèse-de-Gaspé. The landscape here is anchored by the presence of the Le Sugar Loaf, a landmark that watches over the shore as the tides shift against the mouth of the La Grande Rivière. Inland, the terrain softens toward the quiet basin of Lac à la Truite, located about 3 km away, where the water holds a dark, glassy stillness under the shifting northern light. The horizon remains wide and exposed, giving the sky a vast, unsettled clarity that makes the transition from afternoon to dusk feel like a slow, deliberate folding of the world. The character of Grande-Rivière is marked by its deep-rooted relationship with the sea, an economy and culture shaped by the harvest of the cold currents. Life here follows the demands of the water, with a resilience born from generations who have built their lives near the reach of the Le Rocher-Percé, a presence that draws visitors toward the distant Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, about 27 km away. Despite the modern pace, Grande-Rivière retains a quiet focus on its maritime traditions, where the persistent sound of the surf serves as a constant backdrop to the daily industry of the docks. Even on the busiest mornings, there is a certain weight to the silence between the waves, reminding those who live here of the vast, indifferent force that dictates the rhythm of the coast.
Grande-Rivière s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’air salin se mêle au souffle froid des courants marins pour sculpter une atmosphère de sel et de patience. La silhouette imposante du Sugar Loaf veille sur ce littoral, dominant les eaux de La Grande Rivière qui dévalent vers l'estuaire avec une régularité immuable. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac à la Truite offre un repos paisible, un miroir sombre sous la lumière changeante du crépuscule. L’histoire de Grande-Rivière se lit dans le labeur quotidien des familles acadiennes qui ont façonné leur existence sur ces rochers, tournées vers les richesses de l’océan. La pêche, pilier tenace de cette économie, dicte un rythme lent, celui des bateaux qui rentrent au port sous un ciel immense. À vingt-sept kilomètres de distance, le Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé dresse sa présence majestueuse, rappelant la puissance géologique qui définit tout le panorama environnant. Ici, la vie se déroule sans artifice, entre le ressac constant des vagues et la terre ferme, dans une sobriété qui rend chaque journée singulière. La lumière déclinante transforme les falaises en parois d’ambre, tandis que le vent du large balaie les quais, confirmant la permanence de ce lien profond entre les habitants et le rivage.
