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 Croche-du-Criard.
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 Croche-du-Criard is a locality in Sainte-Félicité; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Croche-du-Criard is located at 48.8983°N, 67.3700°W.
Le Croche-du-Criard rests along the rugged shoreline of the St. Lawrence, where the salt-heavy air clings to the cliffs near the Côte à Marguerite. It lies 13.2 km east-north-east of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 62°T), and is situated 15.2 km west-south-west of Grosses-Roches. The terrain here rises sharply from the tide, marked by a cooling mist that gathers in the hollows as the sun retreats behind the horizon. Inland, the landscape shifts toward the quiet stillness of Lac Anatole, located about 5 km away, while the Rivière Petite Matane flows steadily about 6 km from the shore. The light at dusk hits the water with a sharp, silver clarity, illuminating the raw transition between the deep maritime expanse and the dense, dark growth of the coastal slope. Life in Le Croche-du-Criard draws its vitality from the persistent pull of the sea and the quiet demands of the northern climate. The local economy persists through a grounded reliance on the bounty of the St. Lawrence, with families maintaining the traditions of the coast that have sustained them for generations. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the proximity of the Rivière Petite Matane and Lac Anatole provides a sanctuary for those who look toward the interior, where the pace of the day is measured by the changing tides rather than the clock. Even in the stillness of the afternoon, one can feel the weight of the wind against the land, a constant reminder of the elemental forces that define the character of Le Croche-du-Criard.
Le Croche-du-Criard s’étire sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la rudesse des terres de Sainte-Félicité, dans La Matanie. À l’horizon, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une teinte d’étain sur les eaux, tandis que le rivage, tout près de la Côte à Marguerite, semble retenir le silence des siècles. Le paysage s’organise autour de cette rencontre permanente entre le minéral et le fleuve, un espace où la terre ferme défie l’immensité mouvante. À environ cinq kilomètres, les eaux calmes du Lac Anatole offrent un contrepoint paisible à la houle maritime, alors que, six kilomètres plus loin, la Rivière Petite Matane trace son sillage discret à travers le terrain vallonné. Dans l’économie quotidienne, l’héritage agricole persiste malgré les vents qui sculptent les arbres, rappelant la ténacité des familles ayant défriché ces sols ingrats pour y établir leurs foyers. Le Croche-du-Criard porte en lui cette identité particulière des lieux de bord de mer, où le rythme des marées dicte une existence sobre, façonnée par la proximité du froid et la générosité saisonnière des terres. Ici, le ciel paraît plus immense, enveloppant chaque demeure d’un manteau d’air pur qui semble purifier les pensées et ralentir le pas des hommes.

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.
