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 Dos-d'Âne.
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 Dos-d'Âne is a locality in Mont-Alexandre; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Dos-d'Âne is located at 48.4581°N, 64.8072°W.
Le Dos-d'Âne rises with a stubborn, singular presence near the Morne de l'Est, where the terrain hums with the deep, green patience of the Quebec interior. It lies 15.4 km north-west of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 322°T), and is situated 23.8 km west-north-west of Grande-Rivière. The Rivière du Petit Pabos carves its way through the valley floor, a cool, constant artery that gathers the runoff of the highlands into a steady, rhythmic rush. As the sun begins its slow retreat behind the ridges, the light takes on a sharp, bruised clarity, illuminating the dense timber that clings to the slopes. High above the persistent motion of the river, the air grows thin and crisp, carrying the scent of damp stone and pine needles that have settled into the hollows over the passing seasons. Far removed from the bustle of the coast, Lac de la Tour sits in quiet, glassy repose about 9 km away, anchoring the stillness of the surrounding woods. Life around Le Dos-d'Âne has long been shaped by the heavy timber and the rugged demands of the land, drawing those who find comfort in the solitude of the deep forest. The economy here moves in step with the forest’s yield, a cycle of work that respects the harsh winters and the brief, vibrant surge of the spring thaw. Local traditions hold fast to the practical wisdom passed down through generations, emphasizing a quiet self-reliance that mirrors the endurance of the nearby peaks. Even as the seasons turn the foliage from vivid emerald to the brittle gold of autumn, the people maintain a steady, grounded existence, content to live within the boundaries set by the mountains and the persistent, flowing water.
Le Dos-d'Âne se dresse avec une austérité minérale dans la rigueur des terres de Mont-Alexandre, là où le sol semble retenir le souvenir des glaces anciennes. À proximité immédiate du Morne de l'Est, le relief s'incline avec une lenteur géologique vers les eaux froides de la Rivière du Petit Pabos, dont le murmure constant accompagne le travail des hommes dans ces contrées isolées. La lumière du soir y possède une texture particulière, une clarté presque liquide qui baigne les pentes boisées et souligne le dépouillement du terrain. À neuf kilomètres de distance, le Lac de la Tour demeure une présence silencieuse, veillant sur l'horizon tandis que les vents descendent des hauteurs pour balayer les plaines. La vie à Le Dos-d'Âne s'articule autour de cette géographie exigeante, marquée par une tradition de labeur qui a forgé le caractère robuste de ses occupants face aux rudesses du climat gaspésien. Chaque pierre et chaque repli de terrain raconte la persévérance nécessaire pour habiter ce territoire brut, loin des agitations du monde, où la terre et l'eau dictent leur propre cadence à ceux qui choisissent de s'y établir pour cultiver ou extraire ce que le sol consent à offrir.
