This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Vigie, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Vigie.
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 Vigie is a locality in Chandler; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Vigie is located at 48.4133°N, 64.7250°W.
La Vigie stands as a sentinel of stone and salt, perched where the rugged terrain meets the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 8.0 km north-north-west of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 334°T), and is situated 16.9 km west of Grande-Rivière. The cold, clear light of the Gaspé Peninsula clarifies the contours of the Morne de l'Est, casting long, sharp shadows across the banks of the Rivière Sèche as the tide pulls against the shore. A mere two kilometers away, the still surface of Lac des Sept Mètres captures the sky in a mirror of dark water, providing a quiet interior counterpoint to the restless movement of the coast. The air here holds a crisp, bracing quality, smelling of damp earth and brine, while the land itself feels both ancient and immediate under the shifting maritime weather. Economic life in La Vigie has long been shaped by the proximity to the sea, drawing its energy from the harvest of the deep and the processing of maritime resources. Generations have navigated the seasonal shifts of Chandler, balancing the demands of industry with the solitude of an environment defined by its raw, elemental beauty. The cultural character of La Vigie remains rooted in this resilience, where the daily tasks of maintenance and trade occur against a backdrop of sweeping tides and rocky cliffs. Even now, the horizon dominates the perspective of those who live here, framing a way of life that values the steady, observable cycles of the natural world.
La Vigie se dresse en sentinelle sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent marin sculpte le relief avec une constance presque minérale. Près du Morne de l'Est, le paysage s'étire en une ligne sobre, bordé par les eaux de la Rivière Sèche qui découpent le terrain en replis silencieux. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac des Sept Mètres demeure une présence tranquille, un miroir sombre niché dans les terres, loin de l'agitation des marées. L'économie de La Vigie s'est longtemps articulée autour de cette proximité avec la mer, où l'héritage des pêcheurs et des travailleurs de la terre façonne encore les habitudes quotidiennes. Les habitants connaissent cette lumière particulière du crépuscule, celle qui vient lécher les rebords du rivage et transformer la texture des champs en une étoffe changeante, oscillant entre le bleu acier et le gris perle. Ici, la vie suit une cadence dictée par les mouvements des eaux et la rigueur du climat, créant une identité singulière, façonnée par l'isolement et la rudesse des éléments. Les traditions persistent dans la manière d'habiter ce sol, dans cette façon de regarder vers l'horizon, comme si chaque regard portait en lui la mémoire de ceux qui ont choisi de s'établir sur ces promontoires tournés vers le large.

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.
