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 Bout-de-l'Île.
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 Bout-de-l'Île is a resort in Alma; Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Bout-de-l'Île is located at 48.5879°N, 71.7680°W.
Le Bout-de-l'Île rests at the edge of the world where the land yields to the expansive reach of Lac Saint-Jean. It lies 9.4 km west-north-west of Alma, QC (from Alma, QC: bearing 297°T), and is situated 15.8 km north-north-west of Saint-Bruno. The terrain here holds a particular stillness, characterized by the low, steady meeting of earth and water near the Côte du Côtoyage. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the light catches the surface of the Saguenay River, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that seems to hold the day’s heat long after the air has cooled. This proximity to the water defines the horizon, providing a constant, shifting boundary that colors the perspective of anyone standing upon its shore. The development of Le Bout-de-l'Île draws its strength from the currents of the region, where the economy has long been shaped by the presence of the Saguenay River and the surrounding resource-rich landscape. Life in Alma, within the broader Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, carries the weight of a history rooted in the hard work of those who navigated these waters and cleared the rugged terrain. While the solitude of the environment is profound, the presence of Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon serves as a reminder of the wilder, untouched reaches that lie just nineteen kilometers away. Residents carry on with a quiet diligence, moving through their days with the awareness that they are situated at a significant intersection of geography and local industry, where the water serves as both a thoroughfare and a companion.
Le Bout-de-l'Île s'étire avec une humilité certaine sur les rives du Lac Saint-Jean, là où la terre semble vouloir prolonger son dialogue avec les eaux vastes et froides. Près de la Côte du Côtoyage, le terrain s'incline doucement vers les berges, offrant une perspective imprenable sur le mouvement lent de la rivière Saguenay qui, par son passage, définit la respiration même du paysage. Les habitants de Le Bout-de-l'Île observent la lumière déclinante du soir transformer la surface du lac en une plaque d'argent brut, une clarté qui souligne la rudesse bienveillante du sol et la patience nécessaire aux travaux de la terre. À une distance de dix-neuf kilomètres, le Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon garde le silence, imposant sa présence sauvage à l'horizon septentrional. Ici, l'existence se mesure à la constance des vents qui balaient les rivages et à la persistance des travaux agricoles qui marquent le rythme des jours. La mémoire des lieux demeure présente dans le silence qui s'installe entre les bourrasques, rappelant que la vie, dans cette contrée, exige une adaptation fine aux humeurs changeantes du climat. Les ombres s'allongent sur les champs, tandis que l'air, chargé d'une humidité légère, enveloppe les demeures de cette terre singulière, invitant au repos sous la voûte immense du ciel boréal.
