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-aux-Cousins.
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-aux-Cousins is a hamlet in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. L'Anse-aux-Cousins is located at 48.8494°N, 64.5100°W.
L'Anse-aux-Cousins rests along the quiet, tidal margins of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the cold salt breath of the sea. It lies 3.7 km north-west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 318°T), and is situated 12.7 km north-west of Douglastown. The terrain rises steadily toward the Le Sugar Loaf, a sentinel of rock that watches over the meeting of earth and tide. Nearby, the Rivière Dartmouth carves its path toward the basin, its currents holding a glassy, dark stillness at dusk that mirrors the deepening blue of the sky. While Lac Fromenteau hides in the silence of the interior some 8 km away, the horizon toward the east is defined by the rugged, salt-sprayed silhouettes of Forillon National Park of Canada, situated 13 km from the shore. The air here carries a sharp clarity, tasting of brine and damp stone, anchoring L'Anse-aux-Cousins to a landscape that feels ancient and indifferent to the passing of hours. The history of L'Anse-aux-Cousins is held in the endurance of those who settled these coastal edges, turning their gaze toward the water for sustenance and trade. Local industry has long mirrored the movements of the St. Lawrence, with the rhythms of the day dictated by the ebb and flow of the tides rather than the ticking of a clock. Traditional maritime practices persist in the quiet maintenance of vessels and the careful watching of the weather, as the inhabitants navigate the seasonal shifts of a northern climate. Even as the modern world brushes against these shores, the life of the people remains defined by the proximity of the Rivière Dartmouth and the looming presence of the Le Sugar Loaf, maintaining a character that is as resilient and weathered as the cliffs of Forillon National Park of Canada.
L'Anse-aux-Cousins s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin de l'estuaire vient caresser la terre ferme dans une lenteur apaisante. À proximité, la silhouette imposante du Sugar Loaf veille sur les eaux tranquilles de la Rivière Dartmouth, offrant aux résidents un horizon façonné par le relief robuste de la péninsule. À une distance de treize kilomètres, le parc national Forillon du Canada protège la sauvagerie des caps, tandis que les eaux plus reculées du Lac Fromenteau, situé à huit kilomètres, ajoutent une note de sérénité minérale à ce paysage maritime. Le quotidien à L'Anse-aux-Cousins se règle sur le ressac et les marées, héritage d'une vie tournée vers l'immensité bleue et les terres autrefois défrichées par les familles pionnières. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les berges avec une douceur ancienne, révélant la texture rugueuse des grèves et la persistance d'une mémoire maritime qui imprègne chaque pierre. La présence constante de la Rivière Dartmouth rythme les travaux et les jours, rappelant aux habitants la fragilité de leur lien avec les éléments. Dans cet espace où le ciel bas rencontre la crête des reliefs, L'Anse-aux-Cousins conserve une identité singulière, forgée par la rigueur du climat et la beauté austère des panoramas gaspésiens.
