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-du-Banc.
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-du-Banc is a administrative sector in Rivière-à-Claude; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Bout-du-Banc is located at 49.2197°N, 65.8900°W.
Le Bout-du-Banc rests where the rugged edge of the continent meets the vast, shifting expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 40.7 km north-west of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 315°T), and is situated 11.6 km west of Mont-Louis. The salt-heavy air clings to the cliffs of the Le Bec de Corneille, where the Rivière à Claude carves a persistent path toward the deep blue horizon. Inland, the terrain rises into shadowed folds of spruce and birch, hiding the quiet surface of Lac de la Coulée some six kilometers away. At dusk, the light here does not simply fade; it pulls back from the water, leaving the stones along the shore to glow with a pale, bruised violet that seems to hold the day’s warmth long after the sun has slipped behind the heights. Life in Le Bout-du-Banc follows the temperament of the tides and the seasonal turning of the northern woods. Generations have looked to the bounty of the estuary and the timber of the slopes to sustain their homes, grounding their daily habits in the labor of extraction and the quiet maintenance of the coast. The sounds of the Rivière à Claude provide a constant, low-frequency hum beneath the wind, a reminder of the steady drainage of the highlands into the basin. Even in the height of summer, a sharpness remains in the breeze, a bracing clarity that demands a certain resilience from those who keep their hearths burning in the shadow of the Le Bec de Corneille.
Le Bout-du-Banc s'étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient polir les galets du Bec de Corneille sous un ciel souvent chargé de embruns. La lumière déclinante y accroche les reliefs abrupts de la côte, projetant sur les maisons des ombres longues qui semblent vouloir retenir le jour avant qu'il ne s'efface totalement dans l'immensité maritime. À proximité, le courant de la Rivière à Claude apporte son murmure constant, une ponctuation liquide qui rythme l'existence de ceux qui habitent ce rebord du monde. Plus loin, à six kilomètres, les eaux calmes du Lac de la Coulée dorment dans le creux des terres, offrant un contraste de silence face à la houle incessante du grand large. Le Bout-du-Banc conserve cette rugosité propre aux sites exposés aux vents du nord, où le travail de la mer et la patience des hommes se confondent dans une même persévérance. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble s'être ajustée au terrain avec une économie de gestes exemplaire, bravant les éléments avec une dignité silencieuse, tandis que l'air salin imprègne chaque fibre du paysage, rappelant sans cesse que la terre finit sa course là où commence l'infini bleuté du golfe.

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.
