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-Sable.
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-Sable is a resort area in Sacré-Cœur; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. L'Anse-au-Sable is located at 48.2283°N, 69.8797°W.
L'Anse-au-Sable rests where the rugged edge of the land meets the cold, deep currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 12.2 km north-east of Secteur Arcand, QC (from Secteur Arcand, QC: bearing 45°T), and is situated 14.2 km north-north-east of Secteur Baribeau. The terrain rises sharply toward the Colline de l'Anse à la Barque, while the Rivière Saint-Étienne carves its path through the bedrock to reach the shore. In the quiet hours of the morning, a silver mist clings to the water, softening the harsh lines of the cliffs and muting the sound of the wind as it rolls off the river. Lac Albert sits tucked away in the hinterland three kilometers distant, a still mirror reflecting the expansive northern sky, while the vast expanse of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay looms thirty kilometers away as a reminder of the wilder reaches beyond these slopes. The life of L'Anse-au-Sable has long been shaped by the presence of the water and the seasonal cycles that dictate the pace of the northern coast. Industry here leans into the bounty of the forests and the shifting tides, with generations finding their footing on this steep, rocky ground. The atmosphere is one of deliberate endurance, where the scent of balsam fir mingles with the salt air and the light at dusk turns the surface of the St. Lawrence into a sheet of hammered copper. Traditions here are kept close, marked by the steady movement of the local people as they tend to their daily tasks against a backdrop of enduring stone and pine.
L’Anse-au-Sable se déploie avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s'étire vers l'immensité grise des eaux maritimes. À proximité, la Colline de l'Anse à la Barque dresse sa silhouette familière, veillant sur ce littoral que la Rivière Saint-Étienne vient doucement aborder dans une course apaisée. Le sol, marqué par une rudesse héritée des anciens travaux agricoles et forestiers, garde la mémoire des hommes qui ont su apprivoiser ce relief escarpé. À trois kilomètres de là, le Lac Albert offre un miroir immobile aux arbres qui s'y penchent, tandis que la présence plus lointaine, à trente kilomètres, du Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay rappelle la puissance géologique qui façonne toute la région. Lorsque le crépuscule s'installe sur L'Anse-au-Sable, une lumière particulière, froide et pure, descend des hauteurs pour envelopper le rivage d'une mélancolie sereine. La vie locale s'ordonne suivant le rythme lent des marées, dans une persistance silencieuse qui refuse l'agitation des grands centres. Chaque souffle d'air marin porte en lui la fraîcheur du nord, rappelant à ceux qui demeurent ici que leur existence est indissociable de ce cadre naturel austère et majestueux.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
