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 Colonie.
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 Colonie is a hamlet in Marsoui; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Colonie is located at 49.1696°N, 66.0538°W.
La Colonie rests in a quiet embrace where the rugged land meets the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 46.8 km west-north-west of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 300°T), and is situated 12.8 km west-south-west of Rivière-à-Claude. The terrain rises sharply toward the Montagne à Côté, a sentinel that casts long, cooling shadows over the valley floor as the sun dips below the horizon. The Rivière Marsoui Est cuts a persistent path through the stone, its waters cold and clear, reflecting the shifting greys and bruised purples of the coastal sky. A few kilometers away, the stillness of Lac à Philibert-Henley offers a mirror to the dense growth of the surrounding woods, while the sprawling reaches of Parc national de la Gaspésie stand as a wilder, more distant presence on the horizon. Life in La Colonie moves with the deliberate focus of those who understand the temperament of the coast. The local economy has long drawn its strength from the raw materials provided by the earth and the currents, with work often dictated by the seasonal shifts in the air. Families here maintain a connection to the history of the region, where the labor of the past informs the daily routines of the present. Even as the modern world intrudes, La Colonie preserves a distinct character, defined by the sharp scent of salt spray and the constant, low-frequency hum of the river as it pulls toward the sea.
La Colonie s'étire avec une humilité tenace sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'horizon marin semble avaler les derniers reflets cuivrés du jour. Ce territoire, marqué par la proximité immédiate de la Montagne à Côté, se déploie dans une rigueur sauvage, rythmée par le murmure constant de la Rivière Marsoui Est qui descend vers le large. L'air, chargé d'une humidité saline, imprègne les terres autrefois défrichées pour le labeur agricole, rappelant les efforts constants des familles qui ont façonné ce sol rocailleux. À quelques lieues de distance, le Lac à Philibert-Henley offre une quiétude forestière, tandis que le Parc national de la Gaspésie, plus lointain, domine le paysage de sa présence imposante et minérale. La vie à La Colonie se mesure à la patience du pêcheur et à la résilience des bâtisseurs, ces hommes et ces femmes ayant choisi de s'établir entre l'immensité du fleuve et le relief accidenté des terres intérieures. Les maisons, modestes mais solidement plantées face aux vents dominants, semblent veiller sur un héritage silencieux, loin des agitations urbaines, dans une solitude qui n'est jamais vide tant le décor naturel impose sa propre éloquence.

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.
