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'Étang-du-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'Étang-du-Nord is a village in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine; Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. L'Étang-du-Nord is located at 47.3583°N, 61.9500°W.
L'Étang-du-Nord rests upon the rugged, salt-sprayed edges of the St. Lawrence, defined by the wind-whipped slopes of Le Buttereau and the relentless pulse of the sea. It lies 6.3 km west-south-west of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC (from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC: bearing 252°T), and is situated 7.2 km west-south-west of Cap-aux-Meules. The land here holds a stark, singular clarity, where the light at dusk turns the grasses a pale, bruised violet against the darkening water. Inland, the quiet surface of Lac à Anna lies about 4 km away, a hidden mirror reflecting the wide, shifting sky of the islands. L'Étang-du-Nord endures as a place of grit and constant motion, where the air tastes perpetually of brine and the low, heavy clouds seem to brush against the crests of the hills. Fishermen have long anchored their lives to the tides of the St. Lawrence, drawing their livelihood from the cold, deep currents that dictate the local economy. The architecture of L'Étang-du-Nord reflects this maritime necessity, with sturdy buildings huddled against the gale, their colors bright enough to hold their own against the grey expanse of the horizon. Daily life follows the arrival and departure of the fleet, a persistent cycle that defines the character of the people. Visitors often find themselves drawn to the dramatic cliffs near the harbor, where the geological layers emerge like pages of an ancient, unread book, standing firm against the sea’s long, rhythmic erosion.
L'Étang-du-Nord se déploie sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble hésiter entre la solidité du roc et la fluidité des marées. Dans la lumière déclinante qui baigne Le Buttereau, les falaises de grès rouge sculptées par les vents salins offrent une silhouette austère et magnifique, habitée par une mémoire acadienne que l'on perçoit encore dans le labeur des pêcheurs et le balancement des casiers sur les quais. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Anna recueille le silence des terres intérieures, offrant un contrepoint paisible aux humeurs changeantes du grand large. Le quotidien à L'Étang-du-Nord se mesure au rythme des vagues et à la persistance des traditions maritimes, façonnant une identité forte où le ciel et l'eau se répondent sans cesse. Les maisons, modestes et robustes, semblent s'agripper au sol pour affronter les bourrasques, tandis que le sel imprègne les façades et les esprits. Il règne ici une atmosphère de vigilance tranquille, une poésie rude née de cette proximité immédiate avec les éléments, rappelant à quiconque s'y attarde que la vie, dans toute sa fragilité, demeure indissociable de la mer et de ses mystères infinis.

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.
