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 Heppell.
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.

Heppell is a hamlet in Causapscal; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Heppell is located at 48.3114°N, 67.2403°W.
Heppell rests within the quiet embrace of the valley where the Rivière Matapédia carves its path through the land. It lies 22.0 km south-east of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 140°T), and is situated 14.5 km south-south-east of Lac-au-Saumon. The water of the Rivière Matapédia pulls at the silence of the valley, moving with a steady, cold purpose that defines the low-lying terrain. Beyond the immediate banks, the hills rise to meet a sky that often holds the grey, heavy light of a coming storm, casting long shadows over the fields and thickets. About 10 km away, the still surface of Lac du Dix reflects the shifting moods of the season, providing a calm counterpoint to the restless movement of the nearby river. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and cedar, a sharp, clean clarity that settles into the lungs during the long, hushed afternoons. Heppell grew from the necessity of labor, finding its purpose in the rhythm of the timber trade and the agricultural heritage that shaped the early homesteads of Causapscal. The economy of Heppell long relied upon the forest and the river, drawing strength from the resources that defined the daily toil of its residents. Today, the pace of life maintains a steady consistency, marked by the seasonal cycles of the woods and the persistent flow of the Rivière Matapédia. The character of Heppell remains grounded in the resilience of those who built their lives along these slopes, where the primary tradition is found in the simple, enduring act of tending to the land and watching the water turn with the ice of spring.
Heppell se déploie avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière Matapédia, là où le terrain s’incline pour épouser le cours vif et limpide des eaux. Dans cette portion de la vallée, la lumière du crépuscule s'étire sur les champs et les boisés avec une douceur ancienne, révélant la texture d'un sol façonné par des générations de travailleurs forestiers et agricoles. L'air y possède une fraîcheur vive, portée par le souffle qui descend des hauteurs environnantes, alors que le silence est ponctué par le murmure constant de la rivière. À une distance de dix kilomètres, le Lac du Dix veille sur cette étendue, ajoutant une profondeur minérale à l'horizon. Heppell conserve l'allure des lieux bâtis par la patience, où chaque demeure semble avoir trouvé sa place naturelle entre le chemin de fer et le courant. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des éléments, imprégnée du savoir-faire de ceux qui ont défriché ces terres pour y établir un foyer durable. Entre les pentes boisées et la rigueur du climat, la force tranquille de Heppell réside dans cette persévérance silencieuse, une présence qui se maintient avec dignité face à l'immensité de la nature québécoise.
