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 Coulée.
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 Coulée is a locality in Saint-René-de-Matane; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Coulée is located at 48.6956°N, 67.2839°W.
La Coulée rests within the rugged, forested folds of Saint-René-de-Matane, where the land rises toward the steady presence of the Colline de la Tortue. It lies 24.4 km south-east of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 132°T), and is situated 9.9 km east-south-east of Ruisseau-Gagnon. The air here holds the sharp, resinous scent of spruce, cooling quickly as the light flattens against the slope of the hills at the end of the day. To the east, the Rivière Towagodi carves a restless path through the terrain, while the quiet basin of Lac John mirrors the gray-blue sky some distance away. In La Coulée, the local economy has long leaned into the patient work of forestry and the seasonal demands of the landscape, drawing a living from the timber that defines the horizon. Life here follows the weight of the seasons, marked by the deep silence of winter snows and the sudden, muddy urgency of the spring thaw. The people of La Coulée carry on with the quiet resolve of those who know how to work with a steep, unyielding earth, finding beauty in the way the shadows lengthen across the valley floor long before the sun actually slips behind the ridge.
La Coulée s'étire dans le relief accidenté de La Matanie, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière boréale qui transforme les crêtes en ondes de velours sombre. À proximité, la silhouette imposante de la Colline de la Tortue domine les terres basses, offrant aux habitants une sentinelle minérale immuable. Les travaux de la forêt et le labeur agricole ont façonné le caractère de La Coulée, forgeant des tempéraments aussi robustes que les essences ligneuses qui peuplent les versants environnants. Dans cet espace où le ciel descend bas sur les champs, le murmure lointain de la Rivière Towagodi rappelle la persistance des eaux vives, tandis que le Lac John, blotti à quelques lieues, conserve le silence des matins brumeux. Les traditions de ceux qui ont défriché ces lopins subsistent dans le geste précis du cultivateur et dans la patience de ceux qui guettent le changement de teinte des feuillages. L'air y possède une netteté coupante, une pureté qui saisit les poumons et clarifie la pensée, surtout quand le crépuscule dépose ses cendres pourpres sur le sommet de la Colline de la Tortue. Ici, la vie suit le rythme lent des cycles naturels, chaque saison imposant une rigueur qui renforce les liens invisibles entre les hommes et ce sol rocailleux, dur, mais profondément familier.

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.
