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 Baleine.
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 Baleine is a village in L'Isle-aux-Coudres; Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Baleine is located at 47.3931°N, 70.3618°W.
La Baleine rests upon the rugged, wind-swept terrain of L'Isle-aux-Coudres, where the land meets the expansive reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 12.3 km east-south-east of Baie-Saint-Paul, QC (from Baie-Saint-Paul, QC: bearing 115°T), and is situated 3.1 km south-south-east of Saint-Bernard-sur-Mer. The horizon here is defined by the heavy, salt-tinged air that clings to the La Tourelle, creating a clarity of light that makes the distant shoreline appear sharpened against the sky. Inland, the terrain holds the quiet presence of Lac à Viateur, a small, dark mirror located about 3 km away, while the Rivière des Boudreault winds its way through the nearby landscape at a distance of approximately 7 km. As dusk settles, the transition from the bright, piercing blue of the river to the deepening indigo of the hills lends the earth a profound, heavy stillness that seems to suspend the passing of the hours. The history of La Baleine is bound to the maritime endurance of those who settled the island, their lives shaped by the unpredictable currents and the seasonal demands of the water. Generations have cultivated the earth and harvested the bounty of the St. Lawrence, maintaining an economy rooted in traditional maritime practices and the careful stewardship of the land. The cultural character of the people reflects a stoic resilience, a quiet persistence that mirrors the way the island holds its ground against the tides. Daily life here moves with the simple, deliberate focus of tasks performed by hand, an observation of cycles that remain unchanged by the rush of the modern world.
La Baleine s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salin sculpte le caractère des hommes et des terres. Le regard porte loin sur l’immensité mouvante du fleuve, tandis que dans les terres, le Lac à Viateur offre ses eaux tranquilles à la réflexion, miroir sombre niché à quelques kilomètres de distance. La Rivière des Boudreault serpente plus loin encore, marquant le relief d’un sillon discret qui irrigue la mémoire des anciens cultivateurs. À La Baleine, le quotidien suit le rythme des marées et la lumière changeante qui, au crépuscule, transforme les champs en étendues de cuivre et d’ombre. Les maisons, tournées vers l’estuaire, semblent guetter le passage des navires dans une quiétude héritée d’une longue tradition insulaire. La terre y est travaillée avec la ténacité de ceux qui connaissent le prix de la récolte, dans un décor dépouillé où chaque pierre possède sa propre histoire. Il règne ici une atmosphère de permanence, une façon d’habiter le monde qui privilégie le silence des vastes espaces et la solidité des racines, faisant de La Baleine un repère singulier sur ce rivage où le ciel et l’eau se confondent dans une même clarté froide.

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.
