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 Foyer.
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 Foyer is a locality in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges; Les Basques, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Foyer is located at 48.1444°N, 69.2417°W.
Le Foyer rests upon the rugged, wind-swept banks of the St. Lawrence, where the shifting light of dusk casts a silver sheen across the expansive water. It lies 5.3 km west-north-west of Trois-Pistoles, QC (from Trois-Pistoles, QC: bearing 293°T), and is situated 26.1 km south-south-east of Les Escoumins. The terrain rises steadily toward the Montagne à Morneau, an imposing sentinel that watches over the valley carved by the Rivière des Trois Pistoles. Within this domain, the air carries the crisp, sharp scent of salt and pine, grounding the senses in a landscape defined by the relentless meeting of land and tide. Life here moves with the tides of the great river, echoing the quiet endurance of those who have long harvested the bounty of these shores. While the distant Lac du Marin-à-Gouin sits tucked away in the interior, Le Foyer remains anchored to the coastal edge, where the daily industry of the region mirrors the patient, cyclical nature of the surrounding wilderness. The local character is shaped by a history of resilience, finding its expression in the steady work of the inhabitants and the enduring presence of the natural landmarks that define the horizon.
Le Foyer s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du large rencontre la terre ferme de Notre-Dame-des-Neiges. À proximité, les reliefs de la Montagne à Morneau dressent une silhouette familière qui semble guider le regard vers les méandres de la Rivière des Trois Pistoles, laquelle charrie les humeurs du plateau vers l'estuaire. Dans ce secteur du Bas-Saint-Laurent, la lumière du crépuscule possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui souligne la rugosité des champs et le silence des terres agricoles. À une douzaine de kilomètres, le Lac du Marin-à-Gouin demeure une présence discrète dans le paysage, participant à cette hydrologie qui façonne les gestes des habitants depuis des générations. L'existence ici se déploie selon un rythme lent, calqué sur les marées et la rudesse du climat, loin des effervescences urbaines. Les travailleurs de la terre et les familles perpétuent une manière d'être héritée des premiers défricheurs, trouvant dans la constance du fleuve une forme de stabilité nécessaire. Le Foyer observe le passage des saisons par la seule variation des teintes sur les eaux, gardant pour lui les secrets des boisés et la rudesse magnifique d'un littoral qui ne livre ses richesses qu'à ceux qui savent l'écouter.
