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-au-Saumon.
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.

It lies 7.9 km south-east of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 125°T), and is situated 19.1 km north-north-west of Sainte-Florence.

Water defines the terrain, moving through the lowlands with a persistent, cold vigor that dictates the movement of the mist at daybreak. This is a geography shaped by the flow of the river, where the earth seems to exhale a cool, damp breath that settles over the fields and the reeds along the water’s edge. History in Lac-au-Saumon flows from the early efforts to harness the land and the timber that once dominated the horizon, long before the modern pace of the region took hold. The economy remains linked to the rhythms of the land, drawing strength from the natural bounty that surrounds the settlement and the nearby Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia. Residents move with a deliberate purpose, reflecting a lifestyle that respects the seasonal shifts of the Matapédia valley. Whether tending to the land or looking toward the water, the people of Lac-au-Saumon maintain a quiet connection to their environment, finding beauty in the simple, enduring endurance of a life lived close to the riverbank.
