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 Grande-Tourelle.
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 Grande-Tourelle is a locality in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Grande-Tourelle is located at 49.1558°N, 66.4297°W.
La Grande-Tourelle commands a rugged stretch of the St. Lawrence coastline, where the land rises sharply to meet the salt-heavy air of the north. It lies 19.9 km east-north-east of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 70°T), and is situated 5.1 km north-east of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The Petite rivière Sainte-Anne carves its way through this terrain, pulling cold, clear water toward the sea while the nearby Les Sauteux stand as silent sentinels over the shifting tides. In the high light of late afternoon, the water takes on a bruised, metallic sheen, reflecting a sky that feels vast and indifferent to the small silhouettes of the shore. Inland, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hulking presence of Parc national de la Gaspésie, a reminder of the wilder, interior reaches that guard the peninsula. A few kilometers away, the quiet stillness of Lac du Quatre offers a sanctuary of cedar and shadow, far from the restless energy of the surf. Life in La Grande-Tourelle has long been defined by a deep, pragmatic relationship with the water and the timbered slopes that rise behind the dwellings. While the local economy shifts with the seasons, the labor of the coast remains constant, drawing from a heritage of forestry and maritime harvest that has sustained families for generations. People here navigate the day with a focused efficiency, moving between the docks and the forested edges of the Petite rivière Sainte-Anne with the quiet confidence of those who know their own geography intimately. Even as the modern world brushes against the edges of La Grande-Tourelle, the prevailing mood is one of stoic resilience, measured by the turning of the tides and the long, cold reach of winter.
La Grande-Tourelle se dresse avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salin sculpte les roches et apaise le tumulte des eaux. À proximité des Sauteux, le terrain s'incline doucement vers les eaux limpides de la Petite rivière Sainte-Anne, créant un repli paisible où la lumière du soir semble stagner, dorée et dense. Le relief environnant, marqué par la présence lointaine du Parc national de la Gaspésie, impose une verticalité majestueuse qui discipline l'horizon. À six kilomètres, le Lac du Quatre repose dans un silence forestier, offrant un contraste de sérénité avec le souffle continu du fleuve. L'histoire de La Grande-Tourelle se lit dans la rudesse des fondations et dans cette persévérance silencieuse des habitants qui cultivent un rapport direct avec le sol et la marée. Ici, le rythme quotidien suit la pulsation des courants, une cadence lente qui ignore les urgences du monde pour privilégier la contemplation des ciels immenses. Dans ce cadre où l'air porte une fraîcheur constante, la vie s'organise avec une économie de gestes héritée d'une longue fréquentation des éléments, faisant de La Grande-Tourelle un point de repère singulier, une présence solide face à l'immensité mouvante du Saint-Laurent.

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.
