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 Cinquante-Sept.
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 Cinquante-Sept is a locality in Ruisseau-des-Mineurs; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Cinquante-Sept is located at 48.5781°N, 66.6156°W.
Le Cinquante-Sept occupies a rugged stretch of the Gaspé Peninsula where the land rises in sharp, forested folds against the sky. It lies 57.9 km south of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 175°T), and is situated 61.6 km east-north-east of Amqui. The terrain surrounding Le Cinquante-Sept holds a quiet, austere beauty, marked by the way the evening light catches the dark spruce needles, turning them momentarily to charcoal and bronze. Within this quiet expanse, Lac à Louis rests like a mirror pulled tight against the hillside about 4 km away, its surface undisturbed by the restlessness of the modern world. Further out, the Rivière Square Forks carves its path through the lower reaches of the valley roughly 7 km distant, providing a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the local geography. The air here carries a persistent, crisp weight, tasting faintly of damp earth and coming winter, which keeps the landscape feeling perpetually alert. The history of Le Cinquante-Sept is deeply marked by the extractive traditions of Ruisseau-des-Mineurs, where the local economy grew from the heavy, deliberate labor of those who looked to the earth for their livelihood. Residents maintain a practical, grounded existence, favoring the steady pace of seasonal work and the reliability of long-standing family ties over the frantic pace of larger centers. While the industrial fervor has softened over the decades, the cultural character of the locality persists in the shared knowledge of the woods and the quiet, collective habits of those who call these slopes home. This persistence manifests in the way neighbors gather to secure their woodpiles before the first frost, an act performed with a rhythmic, unspoken competence that defines the local endurance.
Le Cinquante-Sept s’étire avec une humilité tranquille dans le paysage forestier de la Matapédia, là où le sol semble retenir le souvenir des travaux de la terre et des efforts anciens pour dompter une nature sauvage. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Louis offre une étendue d’eau calme dont la surface capte les dernières lueurs du jour, tandis que la Rivière Square Forks serpente plus loin, marquant le terrain d’une présence liquide et constante qui rythme le silence ambiant. Le Cinquante-Sept porte en lui cette rigueur des hivers québécois et une ténacité héritée de ceux qui ont défriché ces terres pour en extraire une subsistance modeste. L’air y est vif, chargé de l’odeur résineuse des conifères qui surplombent les routes étroites. Ici, la vie quotidienne se déploie sans artifice, portée par une mémoire collective où le labeur se confond avec la rudesse du relief. Les gens reconnaissent les changements de la lumière sur les crêtes environnantes comme on salue un voisin, avec cette politesse discrète propre aux habitants des rangs. Tout, dans la disposition des bâtiments et le tracé des sentiers, souligne une relation directe avec un environnement exigeant, mais généreux pour qui sait en observer les nuances.
