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 La Baie-des-Frissons.
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.

La Baie-des-Frissons is a locality in Matane; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Baie-des-Frissons is located at 48.7347°N, 67.5050°W.
La Baie-des-Frissons anchors itself within the rugged contours of Les Écores, where the landscape rises with a stubborn, verdant persistence. It lies 12.2 km south of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 171°T), and is situated 6.9 km west-north-west of Ruisseau-Gagnon. The Rivière Matane defines the reach of this territory, carving a path through the earth that dictates the movement of the wind and the settling of the morning mist. Along the banks, the light at dusk takes on a sharp, translucent quality, illuminating the deep greens of the surrounding growth before the shadows lengthen. Only three kilometers away, the quiet presence of Lac à Poirier offers a stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency rush of the river water. Here, the air carries a crispness that suggests the proximity of the northern heights, holding a chill even in the height of the season. The history of La Baie-des-Frissons reflects the persistent labor of those who settled along the Rivière Matane, drawn by the bounty of the timber and the potential of the wild terrain. Local life maintains a focus on the practicalities of the land, with an economy that has long looked toward the forest and the river for its sustenance. The daily patterns of the people are shaped by the changing seasons, which demand a steady, focused attention to the requirements of the climate and the maintenance of their homesteads. Traditions here are quiet and private, passed through the generations with a preference for the steady endurance of the work over the clamor of the outside world.
La Baie-des-Frissons s’étire avec une élégance austère le long des rives sinueuses de la Rivière Matane, là où le souffle boréal vient sculpter les terres des Écores. Le paysage se déploie dans une rigueur minérale, marquée par cette lumière oblique qui semble vouloir suspendre le jour au-dessus des eaux courantes. À peine trois kilomètres séparent le tumulte discret du courant du calme immobile du Lac à Poirier, offrant aux observateurs une dualité entre la fluidité constante du flux et le miroir sombre des terres intérieures. L’histoire de La Baie-des-Frissons se lit dans la persistance des boisés et la rudesse du sol, héritages d’une vie façonnée par la proximité du fleuve et la patience nécessaire pour apprivoiser ce relief accidenté. Ici, le quotidien épouse le rythme des marées et le cycle des vents qui descendent des plateaux, imposant aux habitants une sobriété qui forge le caractère des gens du Nord. Chaque tournant de la Rivière Matane révèle une nouvelle nuance de gris et de vert, une texture sauvage qui résiste à l’effacement, rappelant que la présence humaine demeure une humble ponctuation dans la vastitude de ce territoire. Les ombres s’allongent sur les berges dès que le soleil décline, transformant l’horizon en une ligne de crête où le ciel et la terre se confondent dans une solitude habitée.
