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'Anse-à-Gilles.
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'Anse-à-Gilles is a hamlet in Cap-Saint-Ignace; Montmagny, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. L'Anse-à-Gilles is located at 47.0695°N, 70.4460°W.
L'Anse-à-Gilles rests upon the southern shore of the St. Lawrence, where the land holds the quiet gravity of a place long accustomed to the tide. It lies 13.0 km north-east of Montmagny, QC (from Montmagny, QC: bearing 41°T), and is situated 3.6 km north-north-east of Cap-Saint-Ignace. The terrain rises steadily toward the Colline du Télégraphe, a sentinel height that overlooks the banks of the Rivière Vincelotte as it winds its way toward the salt water. In the soft light of late afternoon, the air here carries a crisp, saline weight, and the horizon blurs where the river meets the vast, shifting grey of the St. Lawrence. Inland, the landscape holds deeper secrets within its folds; Lac à Fanny sits tucked away some 8 km from the shore, while the Chutes à Zado tumble over stone roughly 9 km distant, their presence felt as a low, persistent hum in the memory of the woods. L'Anse-à-Gilles maintains a character shaped by the steady, demanding cycles of the Cap-Saint-Ignace region, where the work of the land and the pull of the water have dictated the pace of life for generations. Agriculture remains a core pillar of the local economy, with fields stretching out to meet the sky, their furrows reflecting the meticulous care of those who have farmed this soil for centuries. The history of L'Anse-à-Gilles is found in the sturdy architecture of its older dwellings and the way the community turns its attention toward the seasons, valuing the quiet persistence of rural industry. Daily life here is defined by a grounded pragmatism, a sense of belonging that settles in at dusk when the lights of the homes flicker on against the darkening expanse of the river.
L'Anse-à-Gilles s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve élargit son horizon pour embrasser la clarté du ciel bas. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose des reflets d’argent sur la Rivière Vincelotte, dont le cours sinueux sculpte le sol fertile avant de se perdre dans l’immensité marine. À proximité, la Colline du Télégraphe dresse sa silhouette familière au-dessus des terres agricoles, observant le labeur quotidien des hommes qui, depuis des générations, tournent leur regard vers l’eau pour y puiser une subsistance tenace. Le paysage, marqué par une rudesse douce, s’ouvre vers l’arrière-pays où le Lac à Fanny dissimule ses eaux paisibles à quelques lieues, tandis que les Chutes à Zado ponctuent le relief de leur murmure constant. Chaque demeure de L'Anse-à-Gilles semble attendre le passage du vent salin qui balaie les battures, rappelant aux habitants la permanence des marées et la sagesse des anciens qui ont su lire les signes de cette terre. Ici, le rythme de la vie s'accorde aux pulsations lentes du fleuve, offrant à celui qui s'arrête un silence habité par le souvenir des saisons passées et la rigueur d'un climat qui façonne les caractères autant que les roches.
