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 Fonderie.
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 Fonderie is a locality in Cap-Chat; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Fonderie is located at 49.0700°N, 66.7706°W.
La Fonderie occupies a lean, rugged stretch of coastline where the land rises sharply toward the heights of Mont Bellevue. It lies 6.7 km west-south-west of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 244°T), and is situated 21.6 km west-south-west of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The St. Lawrence pulls at the shoreline with a cold, rhythmic persistence, its salt-heavy air meeting the stillness of the interior woods. Inland, the dark surface of Lac Côté reflects the shifting northern light, while the Rivière Cap-Chat cuts a narrow, purposeful path through the terrain as it moves toward the sea. To the south, the expansive wilderness of Parc national de la Gaspésie stands as a vast, silent presence, grounding La Fonderie in a geography defined by the collision of mountain and tide. The shadows here lengthen quickly at dusk, turning the slopes into deep, violet folds that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped beneath the horizon. Industry once defined the pulse of La Fonderie, leaving behind a quiet gravity that persists in the way the local economy anchors itself to the resources of the earth and water. The historical legacy of processing and extraction remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian lines of the older structures, which stand against the wind as if waiting for the next shift to begin. Life in La Fonderie moves with a deliberate, singular focus, prioritizing the practical labor of the Haute-Gaspésie over the noise of the modern world. Even now, the sound of the wind moving through the valley carries a weight of endurance, a reminder of the generations who settled this coast to work the seam between the forest and the deep water.
La Fonderie s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent marin sculpte le relief avec une persévérance silencieuse. Le Mont Bellevue domine cette étendue, imposant sa présence minérale sur les activités humaines qui se sont succédé dans ce secteur de la Haute-Gaspésie. À quelques kilomètres, le courant de la rivière Cap-Chat apporte une fraîcheur vive, tandis que le lac Côté, situé à deux kilomètres, offre un miroir immobile aux reflets changeants du crépuscule. La lumière y possède une qualité particulière, une clarté presque liquide qui transforme les humbles structures industrielles héritées du passé en silhouettes apaisées. L’histoire de La Fonderie demeure liée à cette terre rude, où le travail des hommes a dû composer avec les exigences d’un climat océanique et la proximité imposante des grandes étendues sauvages. À trente-neuf kilomètres se dresse le parc national de la Gaspésie, rappelant aux habitants la puissance des sommets qui protègent l'horizon. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des marées, dans une atmosphère où la salinité de l'air semble préserver les souvenirs des anciennes exploitations. Ici, le terrain accidenté et la solitude des espaces naturels forgent une identité singulière, faite de résilience et d'une attention constante portée aux mouvements de l'eau et du ciel.

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.
