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-du-Vingt-et-Un.
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-du-Vingt-et-Un is a locality in Mont-Alexandre; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Colonie-du-Vingt-et-Un is located at 48.4983°N, 64.8200°W.
La Colonie-du-Vingt-et-Un rests within the verdant, rugged terrain of Mont-Alexandre, where the land rises in quiet strength above the Rivière du Petit Pabos. It lies 19.6 km north-north-west of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 328°T), and is situated 26.2 km west-north-west of Grande-Rivière. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, cooling the dense stands of timber that cloak the surrounding slopes and mirroring the steady, purposeful flow of the river below. As evening approaches, the light settles deep into the valley, turning the shadows of the hills into long, indigo reaches that seem to hold their breath against the coming night. This landscape, shaped by the enduring presence of the forest, offers a stark, honest beauty to those who traverse its winding paths and hidden clearings. The history of La Colonie-du-Vingt-et-Un reflects a life defined by the harvest of the woods and the stubborn cultivation of the soil, long supporting the families who shaped their livelihood from the resources of Le Rocher-Percé. While the reach of the modern world feels distant, the inhabitants maintain a direct connection to the land, their daily tasks dictated by the seasonal shifts that govern the local economy. Though the solitude is profound, the presence of Lac de la Tour, situated thirteen kilometers away, serves as a silent landmark in the broader expanse of the region. Life here moves with the gravity of the seasons, grounded in the practical realities of a hinterland that demands resilience and provides, in return, a rare and undisturbed peace.
La Colonie-du-Vingt-et-Un s’étire avec une discrétion presque minérale le long des rives de la Rivière du Petit Pabos, là où l’air se charge d’une humidité vive propre aux terres de Mont-Alexandre. Dans la lumière oblique du crépuscule, le relief se déploie en ondulations douces, révélant une topographie austère que les habitants apprivoisent par une labeur silencieuse. À treize kilomètres de là, le Lac de la Tour semble veiller sur cette étendue, gardant le secret d’une géographie où chaque parcelle de terrain porte le poids des hivers longs et la patience des saisons de culture. La Colonie-du-Vingt-et-Un conserve cette allure de halte suspendue, un espace où le regard glisse sur les boisés environnants et les courbes du sol sans jamais rencontrer d’artifice, privilégiant une existence rythmée par le murmure constant de la Rivière du Petit Pabos. Les structures de bois et les chemins de terre rappellent une époque de défrichement opiniâtre, une détermination qui subsiste encore dans la manière dont les foyers font face aux vents venant du golfe. Rien ici ne cherche à se donner en spectacle, préférant la véracité d’une terre qui exige de ses occupants une attention constante, une forme de respect simple pour la rudesse et la beauté brute de cet horizon gaspésien.
