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 Marais.
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 Marais is a locality in Carleton-sur-Mer; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Marais is located at 48.2175°N, 66.2656°W.
Le Marais rests near La Butte, where the land holds the quiet, damp stillness of the lowlands against the backdrop of the horizon. It lies 18.7 km north-north-east of Baie-des-Hérons, QC (from Baie-des-Hérons, QC: bearing 26°T), and is situated 9.5 km north-north-east of Nouvelle. Lac à Jos-Thériault sits directly at the edge of Le Marais, reflecting the shifting grey and violet light that settles over the marsh grasses as the sun retreats. This proximity to the water defines the local character, where the air tastes of salt and cooling earth, and the stillness is broken only by the distant, rhythmic push of the tide. Beyond these immediate borders, the landscape opens toward broader horizons, with the Rivière Stewart Ouest flowing some 6 km away, while the dramatic Chutes de Brébeuf remain 9 km distant. Further afield, the geological significance of the region finds a home at Parc national de Miguasha, located 14 km away, preserving the ancient remnants of life that once thrived in these coastal reaches. The history of Le Marais is anchored in the resilience of those who navigated the transition between the forest and the sea, finding sustenance in the fertile, challenging soil of the Avignon region. Economic life here remains tied to the sea and the harvest, with the community maintaining a steady, deliberate pace that mirrors the seasonal migrations of the northern climate. Locals honor the traditions of the coast, where the work of the day is measured by the tide and the turning of the weather rather than the clock. The influence of the surrounding terrain is profound, as the proximity to both the deep woods and the open water shapes a culture that values endurance and the quiet observation of the natural world.
Le Marais s’étire avec une patience minérale près de La Butte, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s’attarder sur les herbes hautes pour mieux révéler la texture rugueuse du sol gaspésien. Cette terre, façonnée par les vents salins et une persévérance silencieuse, s'ouvre sur un horizon où le Lac à Jos-Thériault se confond presque avec la ligne du ciel, offrant aux promeneurs une immensité tranquille. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière Stewart Ouest poursuit son tracé immuable, tandis que la présence distante mais imposante des Chutes de Brébeuf et du Parc national de Miguasha rappelle la force brute des éléments qui entourent ce territoire. Le Marais conserve en ses terres une mémoire faite de labeur agricole et de traditions côtières, où chaque bâtisse semble porter le poids d'une histoire transmise sans grands discours. Ici, le rythme des journées suit le mouvement des marées et le souffle des saisons, loin des tumultes urbains, dans une simplicité qui se mérite. L'air y est vif, chargé du sel de la baie, et les habitants cultivent une existence sobre, en harmonie avec un paysage dont ils connaissent chaque pli, chaque changement de couleur quand le soleil bascule derrière les reliefs lointains.

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.
