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'Île-au-Canot.
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'Île-au-Canot is a locality in Saint-Antoine-de-l'Isle-aux-Grues; Montmagny, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. L'Île-au-Canot is located at 47.0853°N, 70.5590°W.
L'Île-au-Canot rests as a solitary, low-lying presence amidst the shifting tides of the St. Lawrence, defined by a stark, elemental stillness. It lies 11.6 km north of Montmagny, QC (from Montmagny, QC: bearing 359°T), and is situated 9.4 km north-west of Cap-Saint-Ignace. The salt-heavy air carries the briny breath of the estuary, chilling the grasses that cling to the banks of the Rivière à Anguilles. From the island’s vantage, one might observe the distant silhouette of the Montagne du Nord rising against the horizon, a grounding landmark that anchors the view across the water. The landscape remains raw and exposed, where the evening light turns the surface of the river into a sheet of hammered silver, quiet and vast. Inland, the terrain holds a rugged, unadorned charm, while the memory of the landscape extends toward the distant Lac Noël-Morin or the cascading rush of the Chutes à Zado, which lie far beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline. Life on L'Île-au-Canot follows the pulse of the changing seasons and the relentless movement of the river. Historically, the land has supported those who looked toward the water for sustenance, relying on the seasonal patterns of the St. Lawrence to shape the daily labor of the residents. The economy here remains sparse and linked to the land’s own offerings, a quiet endurance that favors practicality over artifice. Even now, the cultural character of the island bears the mark of an isolation that is both protective and profound, keeping the pace of existence aligned with the turning of the tides. Visitors and residents alike find that the island demands a certain patience, rewarding those who linger with the sight of wildfowl circling the reeds or the sudden, sharp clarity of a northern sky at dusk.
L'Île-au-Canot se déploie avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose son souffle puissant et ses marées aux terres basses de Saint-Antoine-de-l'Isle-aux-Grues. Le paysage s'étire dans une lumière délavée, celle qui précède le soir, quand le vent s'engouffre depuis les rives de la Rivière à Anguilles pour balayer les herbes hautes et les rochers polis par l'hiver. À mesure que le regard s'aventure vers l'intérieur des terres, vers la Montagne du Nord qui domine l'horizon, le silence devient une matière palpable, une présence calme qui semble veiller sur les parcelles agricoles héritées des anciens. Non loin de là, le Lac Noël-Morin garde ses secrets sous une surface immobile, tandis que les Chutes à Zado ponctuent le relief lointain d'une plainte liquide et constante. L'Île-au-Canot conserve cette allure de sentinelle isolée, habitée par une mémoire que les habitants cultivent avec une sobriété toute naturelle, loin du tumulte des cités. Ici, le travail de la terre et la proximité des courants dictent les heures, créant un rythme lent, presque imperceptible, qui s'accorde aux caprices du ciel et à la rudesse heureuse de ce coin de pays.
