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 Ferme-Rioux.
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 Ferme-Rioux is a locality in Rimouski; Rimouski-Neigette, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Ferme-Rioux is located at 48.3569°N, 68.7964°W.
La Ferme-Rioux rests along the salt-scented edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the heavy, grey pull of the tide. It lies 38.1 km north-east of Trois-Pistoles, QC (from Trois-Pistoles, QC: bearing 47°T), and is situated 8.7 km north-east of Saint-Fabien. The local terrain defines itself through the Le Chocolat, a stretch of coastline where the air holds a permanent, bracing chill that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon. Nearby, the Rivière du Sud-Ouest cuts a quiet path toward the water, its current often muted by the coastal winds. Just a short distance away, the protected reaches of Parc national du Bic offer a sanctuary of craggy bluffs and sheltered coves, while the waters of Lac à Crapauds provide a still, dark contrast to the restless movement of the sea. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long shadows over the fields and making the salt-crusted stone walls seem to hum with a low, ancient energy. Life in La Ferme-Rioux remains closely aligned with the seasonal shifts of the Rimouski-Neigette region, where the economy has long been shaped by the intersection of maritime heritage and the persistent demands of the soil. The inhabitants maintain a focus on the land, with agricultural practices that have evolved alongside the changing tides of the St. Lawrence. While the pace of the day is dictated by the turning of the weather, there is a persistent, industrious spirit that keeps the local character rooted in its history. The proximity to the coast ensures that the maritime influence is never far from the thoughts of those who live here, as the rhythmic sound of the waves serves as a constant, underlying pulse to the daily labor.
La Ferme-Rioux se dresse face à l'immensité changeante du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin s'imprègne d'une fraîcheur saline qui sculpte les terres depuis des générations. Dans ce secteur nommé Le Chocolat, le terrain s'incline doucement vers la Rivière du Sud-Ouest, dont le cours sinueux accompagne le labeur quotidien des habitants et la persistance d'une mémoire agricole héritée des premiers défricheurs. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, le Parc national du Bic déploie ses reliefs accidentés, offrant une frontière naturelle où la roche et la forêt se rencontrent dans un silence solennel. À cinq kilomètres plus loin, le Lac à Crapauds demeure un miroir discret, captant les derniers reflets cuivrés du crépuscule. La Ferme-Rioux puise sa force dans cette géographie austère et lumineuse, où la rudesse des hivers québécois rencontre la patience des hommes qui travaillent le sol. Chaque souffle de vent venant du large rappelle la proximité des marées, tandis que la tranquillité des champs cultivés souligne une existence simple, rythmée par la lumière changeante qui glisse sur les rivages. Ici, la terre porte en elle une dignité tranquille, loin des agitations, dans le calme absolu de ces espaces vastes et familiers.
