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-la-Croix.
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-la-Croix is a hamlet in Sainte-Félicité; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. L'Anse-à-la-Croix is located at 48.9078°N, 67.2867°W.
L'Anse-à-la-Croix rests where the rugged edge of the land meets the vast, shifting expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 19.2 km east-north-east of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 68°T), and is situated 9.1 km west-south-west of Grosses-Roches. The coastline here near the Côte à Marguerite holds a particular stillness, where the salt air seems to cling to the rocky outcrops, blurring the boundary between the dark water and the horizon at dusk. Inland, the terrain rises into elevations that cradle the quiet basin of Lac Bouchard, while the Rivière Petite Matane flows through the wider landscape, carrying the runoff of the seasons toward the sea. The light at this latitude possesses a thin, silver clarity, illuminating the sturdy architecture that has long defined the character of Sainte-Félicité in La Matanie. Settlement in L'Anse-à-la-Croix emerged through the necessity of working the land and the water, with the local economy historically shaped by the cycles of maritime resourcefulness and the demands of northern agriculture. Daily life persists with a deliberate focus on the practical, as residents navigate the seasonal shifts that define the coastal environment. Traditions here remain quiet and private, passed through generations who understand the temperament of the tides and the long, cold winters. While the modern world moves with a different urgency, the people of L'Anse-à-la-Croix maintain an observant relationship with their surroundings, keeping a steady pace that matches the slow, tectonic patience of the shoreline itself.
L'Anse-à-la-Croix s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin vient heurter la terre ferme dans une tension permanente entre le fleuve et la côte à Marguerite. Ce rivage, marqué par une rudesse élégante, impose une présence minérale à ceux qui habitent ce versant du monde, loin des rumeurs lointaines. À quelques kilomètres, la rivière Petite Matane trace son sillon dans le sol, tandis que plus loin, le lac Bouchard recueille le silence des terres intérieures. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une épaisseur particulière, une clarté presque liquide qui baigne les habitations et les champs, révélant la patience nécessaire pour apprivoiser ce climat exigeant. Ici, l'histoire ne se raconte pas dans les livres, mais dans le geste quotidien du travailleur qui observe l'horizon, conscient des courants et de la géographie qui dictent le rythme de sa survie. L'Anse-à-la-Croix demeure un espace de résistance face à l'immensité, où chaque maison semble guetter les variations de la marée. Les vents marins sculptent le paysage, rappelant sans cesse la fragilité de cette installation humaine face à la force indomptable des eaux, offrant aux habitants une solitude habitée par la rigueur des éléments et la permanence du fleuve.
