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 Grand-Côtoyage.
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 Grand-Côtoyage is a locality in Mont-Alexandre; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Grand-Côtoyage is located at 48.5856°N, 64.8208°W.
Le Grand-Côtoyage occupies a rugged stretch of terrain where the land rises sharply toward the heights of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 28.3 km north-north-west of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 338°T), and is situated 31.6 km north-west of Grande-Rivière. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of damp earth and cooling stone, particularly as the low light of dusk catches the slopes and turns the forest into a deepening bruise of violet and gold. Nearby, the La Grande Rivière carves its path through the valley, its movement providing a constant, low-frequency pulse that defines the acoustic character of the surroundings. While Lac Bazire rests some distance away, the immediate geography remains dominated by the steep, uncompromising elevation that dictates the movement of wind and wildlife alike. Settlement in Le Grand-Côtoyage follows the difficult contours of the hillside, a result of generations navigating the demands of a landscape that does not easily yield to development. The local economy has long been shaped by the necessity of extracting value from the dense cover and the challenging incline, leading to a history of resourcefulness that persists in the quiet industry of the residents. Life here proceeds with a deliberate focus, the people moving in alignment with the changing seasons that dictate the accessibility of the slopes. Even as modern life persists, the presence of the surrounding heights ensures that the day-to-day existence of those in Le Grand-Côtoyage remains grounded in the physical realities of the terrain, where every path is a reminder of the gravity and scale of the earth.
Le Grand-Côtoyage s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives de La Grande Rivière, là où le relief s'incline pour saluer la silhouette imposante du Sugar Loaf. Dans ce segment de la région de Mont-Alexandre, la lumière du crépuscule s'attarde sur les pentes, changeant la texture du sol en une étoffe mordorée tandis que l'air frais des terres s'alourdit de l'humidité constante des eaux courantes. À une quinzaine de kilomètres, le Lac Bazire demeure une présence silencieuse, isolée dans le repli du terrain, observant le passage des heures sur une terre marquée par un héritage de labeur et de persévérance. La vie ici suit le rythme lent des éléments, une existence façonnée par la proximité immédiate de La Grande Rivière qui dicte les humeurs du climat et les cycles de l'activité humaine. Le Grand-Côtoyage conserve cette dignité austère des lieux façonnés par le vent, où chaque maison semble se tenir prête à affronter les rudesses de l'horizon. La géographie impose ses règles, forçant le regard vers l'élévation du Sugar Loaf qui domine le secteur, offrant un repère immuable à ceux qui parcourent ces chemins bordés de boisés sombres et de terres humifères.
