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 L'Alverne.
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.

L'Alverne is a hamlet in Pointe-à-la-Croix; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. L'Alverne is located at 48.1394°N, 66.6989°W.
L'Alverne rests in the quiet embrace of the highlands near Callaghans Hill, where the land rises to meet the sky in long, deliberate folds. It lies 15.6 km north of Campbellton, QC (from Campbellton, QC: bearing 356°T), and is situated 13.4 km west-north-west of Pointe-à-la-Garde. The Rivière Escuminac carves a path through the valley, its cool, dark waters reflecting the shifting weight of clouds that drift over the ridges. During the lingering hours of dusk, the light here turns a bruised, translucent violet, catching the edges of the spruce and fir that define the horizon. One finds a peculiar stillness in the air, a sense that the terrain itself holds its breath against the approaching cold of the northern seasons. Life in L'Alverne moves in accordance with the demands of a landscape shaped by wood and stone, drawing its character from the persistence required to inhabit such a rugged elevation. The local economy has long been shaped by the industry of the forest, with families maintaining a deep, practical knowledge of the terrain that surrounds them. Residents often look toward the nearby Chutes Kempt, where the sound of falling water provides a constant, low-frequency hum to the regional geography. Those who seek the wider expanse of the natural world might travel toward the distant Parc national de Miguasha or find solitude by the shores of Lac Maillard, yet L'Alverne keeps its own counsel, defined by the steady, measured work of those who settle its slopes.
L'Alverne s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres hautes qui surplombent la vallée, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder plus longuement sur la crête de la colline Callaghans. Le regard s'y perd dans les ondulations du terrain, observant les eaux de la Rivière Escuminac qui serpentent en contrebas, charriant les échos d'une agriculture tenace et d'un labeur qui a su dompter les sols rocailleux de la Gaspésie. À quelques lieues de là, les mystères du Lac Maillard et la vigueur des Chutes Kempt ponctuent le silence forestier, offrant aux habitants une présence sauvage qui rythme les journées. Plus loin, le Parc national de Miguasha rappelle la profondeur géologique de ce sol, une mémoire de pierre qui veille sur les humeurs changeantes du climat. L'Alverne porte en elle cette persévérance propre aux gens qui, malgré l'isolement des plateaux, ont bâti une existence faite de bois, de foin et de patience. Le vent qui descend des reliefs apporte une fraîcheur constante, rappelant que la nature ici ne se laisse jamais totalement apprivoiser, mais qu'elle consent, dans une entente tacite, à laisser les hommes cultiver leur propre part de lumière au milieu de cette vaste étendue québécoise.
