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 Lac-à-Samuel.
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.

Lac-à-Samuel is a locality in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Lac-à-Samuel is located at 49.1628°N, 66.4054°W.
Lac-à-Samuel rests in the rugged embrace of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence and the air holds the sharp, salt-edged clarity of the northern tide. It lies 21.8 km east-north-east of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 70°T), and is situated 7.0 km east-north-east of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The terrain surrounding Lac-à-Samuel rises in steep, forested folds that sharpen the light at dusk, casting long, bruised shadows across the valley floor. To the east, the horizon is dominated by the distant, hulking presence of Parc national de la Gaspésie, a reminder of the wild, unyielding interior that defines the region. Nearby, the quiet surface of Lac à Wellie reflects the shifting clouds, while the Petite rivière Sainte-Anne moves through the lowlands like a vein of silver, cold and persistent. The Les Sauteux area nearby anchors the geography, serving as a silent witness to the seasonal shifts that dictate the flow of water and the quiet retreat of the woods into winter. Life near Lac-à-Samuel draws its character from the proximity of the St. Lawrence, where the maritime influence tempers the deep chill of the interior highlands. History here is found in the traces of those who worked the timber and navigated the coastal arteries, building a culture that values endurance above all else. The local economy persists through a careful alignment with the natural bounty of the landscape, relying on the rhythms of the forest and the pull of the coast. While the modern day moves with a focused intent, the spirit of Lac-à-Samuel stays quiet and deliberate, mirroring the stillness of the nearby waters and the immense, shadowed reach of the hills.
Le Lac-à-Samuel s'étire avec une humilité saisissante sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du grand large rencontre la rudesse des terres gaspésiennes. Dans ce recoin de La Haute-Gaspésie, la lumière déclinante du soir nimbe les eaux d'une clarté argentée, révélant la silhouette austère et familière des Sauteux qui veillent sur le rivage depuis des générations. À quelques lieues de là, la Petite rivière Sainte-Anne serpente dans une vallée profonde, offrant ses courants aux échos des forêts proches, tandis que le Lac à Wellie demeure, dans son silence immobile, un miroir sombre pour les nuages qui dérivent. L'horizon, dominé par la masse imposante du Parc national de la Gaspésie, impose une verticalité solennelle qui dicte le rythme des journées. Les habitants, façonnés par une terre exigeante et la proximité constante de l'immensité maritime, cultivent un attachement profond pour ces parcelles où chaque pierre semble raconter une lutte ancienne contre les éléments. Le Lac-à-Samuel demeure un poste d'observation privilégié, un trait d'union entre la terre ferme et l'appel insatiable du large, où l'air vif du nord purifie les pensées et renforce les volontés de ceux qui ont choisi d'habiter ces marges sauvages.
