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-Plaqué.
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-Plaqué is a locality in Mont-Albert; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Grand-Plaqué is located at 49.0597°N, 66.4894°W.
Le Grand-Plaqué rests with a quiet, rugged endurance along the St. Lawrence, cradled by the imposing presence of Mont Bellevue. It lies 15.0 km east-south-east of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 106°T), and is situated 7.8 km south of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The air here holds a crisp, tonic quality, particularly as the evening light pulls long, violet shadows across the banks of the Rivière Sainte-Anne. While the vast Parc national de la Gaspésie looms twenty-one kilometers to the south as a wilderness of deep timber and stone, Le Grand-Plaqué occupies a more intimate threshold where the land meets the northern currents. Just four kilometers away, the stillness of Lac de la Marne offers a reflective counterpoint to the restless movement of the nearby river, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate. The economic life of Le Grand-Plaqué has long mirrored the demands of the Mont-Albert terrain, drawing its character from the seasonal labor of the forest and the persistent flow of local waterways. Residents maintain a practical, direct relationship with the environment, navigating the challenges of a climate that favors short, intense summers and long, snow-heavy winters. The traditions of the region are shaped by this proximity to the wild, where the daily activities of the inhabitants remain focused on the cycles of the earth and the maintenance of their homesteads. Le Grand-Plaqué persists as a point of human focus in a vast, demanding territory, where the pulse of life is marked not by the clock, but by the subtle shifting of the seasons against the backdrop of the mountain.
Le Grand-Plaqué s'étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme. À proximité, le Mont Bellevue semble veiller sur les activités des hommes, tandis que la Rivière Sainte-Anne trace son sillage parmi les reliefs, offrant aux jours une cadence rythmée par le courant. Le climat rigoureux de cette latitude façonne les caractères et les gestes, exigeant une patience que seule la proximité du Lac de la Marne, tapi dans son repli à quelques kilomètres, peut comprendre. Tandis que l'horizon se teinte des nuances cuivrées du crépuscule, Le Grand-Plaqué révèle une identité puisée dans la rudesse de la terre et la générosité des eaux, loin des agitations du monde. À peine plus loin, l'immensité sauvage du Parc national de la Gaspésie impose sa présence majestueuse, rappelant aux habitants la fragilité de leur demeure face aux éléments. Ici, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, entre le travail des champs et le respect des traditions qui lient les générations. Les ombres s'allongent sur le sol, soulignant les contours d'un paysage où chaque pierre et chaque courbe de terrain racontent une histoire de persévérance, celle d'une vie qui s'accommode du vent et des marées avec une simplicité presque sacrée.
