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-au-Griffon-Nord.
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-au-Griffon-Nord rests where the rugged terrain of the Gaspé Peninsula meets the expansive, cold currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 17.7 km north-east of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 43°T), and is situated 8.2 km south-east of Rivière-au-Renard. The Rivière de l'Anse au Griffon carves a narrow, winding path toward the sea, its waters reflecting the gray, shifting light that defines the eastern edge of the coast. Only five kilometers away, the wild, protected reaches of Forillon National Park of Canada stand as a sentinel of cliffs and dense, salt-sprayed forests, while Lac de la Montagne de Roche lies tucked into the interior heights some ten kilometers distant. On late autumn afternoons, the air grows heavy with the brine of the gulf, turning the horizon into a bruised indigo that softens the sharp edges of the coastal hills. Settlement in L'Anse-au-Griffon-Nord has long been defined by a deep reliance on the harvest of the sea and the timber found within the surrounding valleys. Generations of families have anchored their lives to the seasonal migrations of marine life, an industry that continues to shape the quiet, industrious character of the local docks. The traditions of the region are marked by a resilience born of isolation, where the sounds of heavy machinery and fishing vessels often drift across the water, punctuating the stillness of the morning. Life here moves in alignment with the tides, maintaining a steady, pragmatic focus that honors the labor of those who settled this craggy shore to build a permanent home against the elements.
L'Anse-au-Griffon-Nord s'étire avec une humilité souveraine là où les terres rencontrent les eaux froides du Saint-Laurent, offrant aux regards la silhouette robuste des rivages gaspésiens. La Rivière de l'Anse au Griffon serpente à travers ce relief accidenté, ses courants murmurant une histoire ancienne portée par les vents salins qui balayent inlassablement les falaises. À quelques kilomètres, le parc national Forillon du Canada impose sa présence sauvage, tandis que le Lac de la Montagne de Roche dort dans le silence des hauteurs, observant les marées qui rythment la vie des habitants. Cette contrée, façonnée par l'âpreté des éléments et la persévérance des familles installées sur ces côtes, porte en elle le souvenir des pêcheurs bravant les vagues pour assurer leur subsistance. La lumière crépusculaire y transforme les rochers en formes mystérieuses, baignant le paysage d'une teinte ambrée qui souligne la rudesse magnifique du terrain. En parcourant les sentiers de L'Anse-au-Griffon-Nord, une sensation de permanence émane du sol, rappelant que chaque pierre et chaque courbe du rivage appartiennent à une géographie forgée par une lutte constante contre la mer. Ici, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, dans le souffle pur de l'air marin qui nettoie les pensées et apaise les âmes en quête de solitude.
