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 Le Beacon.
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.

Le Beacon is a locality in Saint-Fabien; Rimouski-Neigette, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Beacon is located at 48.3103°N, 68.8983°W.
Le Beacon sits low against the St. Lawrence, where the salt air of the estuary meets the quiet, brackish pulse of the Rivière du Sud-Ouest. It lies 29.0 km north-east of Trois-Pistoles, QC (from Trois-Pistoles, QC: bearing 45°T), and is situated 3.0 km north-west of Saint-Fabien. The land here at the Îlet au Flacon holds a particular stillness, a weight of granite and water that keeps the horizon sharp even when the evening mist begins to swallow the shoreline. Nearby, the water of Lac de la Station waits in the interior woods, tucked away like a dark mirror, while the jagged, ancient spine of Parc national du Bic rises ten kilometres distant to command the coastal wind. Under the high, cold clarity of the northern light, Le Beacon observes the turning tides, its weathered surfaces reflecting the silver-grey transition of the season. The history of Le Beacon lingers in the architecture of the shoreline, where the remnants of maritime labor suggest a long, intimate acquaintance with the currents of the St. Lawrence. Daily life here follows the pull of the water, moving with a deliberate attention to the moods of the river that has supported local industry for generations. The people of Saint-Fabien and the surrounding Rimouski-Neigette hold to a heritage defined by this interface of rock and tide, finding their footing in the rugged terrain that resists easy cultivation. There is a distinct sobriety to the work here, a practice of patience that recognizes how the land and the river determine the limits and the possibilities of the day.
Le Beacon s'étire avec une tranquille obstination sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin se mêle aux effluves des terres basses de Saint-Fabien. Dans le silence de l'Îlet au Flacon, le mouvement des marées dicte le rythme des journées, tandis que le courant de la Rivière du Sud-Ouest apporte une fraîcheur constante aux abords immédiats du site. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac de la Station offre une halte paisible dans le relief escarpé, rappelant la proximité du Parc national du Bic dont les silhouettes découpent l'horizon avec une rigueur minérale. La lumière de fin de journée glisse sur les rochers, révélant la texture brute d'un sol façonné par les siècles de labeur agricole et le voisinage constant de l'eau salée. Le Beacon conserve cette allure de sentinelle solitaire, tournée vers l'immensité du large, où chaque souffle du vent semble porter les souvenirs des ancêtres ayant arpenté ces rivages. Les habitants, habitués à cette rudesse climatique, cultivent une retenue qui s'accorde aux lignes sobres du paysage, préférant l'observation patiente des cycles naturels aux agitations inutiles. Ici, la terre et le fleuve composent une présence indéniable, imposant aux regards une sérénité sauvage qui ne s'efface jamais vraiment.
