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 Moulin-à-Gagnon.
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 Moulin-à-Gagnon is a locality in Mont-Alexandre; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Moulin-à-Gagnon is located at 48.6350°N, 64.6269°W.
Le Moulin-à-Gagnon sits nestled within the rugged, forested terrain of Mont-Alexandre, where the land rises sharply toward the heights of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 23.8 km south-south-west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 208°T), and is situated 23.8 km south-west of Douglastown. The Rivière Malbaie carves its path through the valley, its cool, constant motion defining the physical borders of the terrain as it moves toward the sea. Sunlight here catches the mist rising off the water in the early morning, turning the air into a pale, translucent veil that clings to the spruce and fir trees. Beyond the immediate reach of the riverbanks, the landscape stretches toward the distant, sheltered expanse of Lac McPhee, while the broader, windswept reaches of Forillon National Park of Canada anchor the horizon to the east. The ground is firm and ancient, defined by the heavy, dark loam of the Gaspé Peninsula and the persistent, quiet gravity of the highlands. Life at Le Moulin-à-Gagnon reflects the historical necessity of working with the timber and water that define this corner of Le Rocher-Percé. Generations have observed the changing seasons through the cycle of the river, which once powered the mills that gave the location its name and provided the foundation for local industry. Today, the economy leans into the quiet persistence of rural labor and the seasonal shifts of the forest, where the work of the day is measured by the steady climb of the sun over the ridges. People here carry a particular patience, a habit of watching the weather move across the high ground of Le Sugar Loaf before it descends into the hollows. Even as the modern world intrudes, the character of the site remains defined by the stillness of the woods and the persistent, cold rush of the Rivière Malbaie.
Le Moulin-à-Gagnon se déploie dans une quiétude singulière, là où les pentes du Sugar Loaf dominent les eaux vives de la Rivière Malbaie. Dans cette contrée aux reliefs marqués, l’existence suit le rythme patient des travailleurs qui ont su, par leur labeur, domestiquer la rudesse d’un sol exigeant. La lumière du crépuscule s’étire avec une langueur particulière sur les rives, révélant la texture minérale du terrain et la silhouette familière des bâtisses qui composent Le Moulin-à-Gagnon. À quelques lieues de là, les eaux du Lac McPhee reposent dans un silence que seule trouble la brise, tandis que le parc national Forillon du Canada, situé plus loin, souligne la grandeur sauvage de ces espaces septentrionaux. L’air y est vif, chargé de l’humidité des courants qui descendent des plateaux, conférant à chaque journée une limpidité qui rend les contours du paysage presque palpables. Les traditions locales, transmises par les familles installées sur ces terres, persistent dans une discrétion volontaire, préférant la constance du travail quotidien aux mouvements rapides du monde extérieur. Ici, le lien avec le sol demeure la mesure première de toute chose, transformant la simplicité du cadre en une forme de sagesse héritée de ceux qui, jadis, ont choisi de bâtir leur vie à l’abri de ces sommets protecteurs.

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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
