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 Petit-Bas-Canada.
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 Petit-Bas-Canada is a locality in Cap-Chat; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Petit-Bas-Canada is located at 49.0981°N, 66.6863°W.
Le Petit-Bas-Canada rests where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence, cradled by the steady, rising presence of Mont Bellevue. The Rivière Cap-Chat cuts a singular path through the terrain, its cold, clear pulse defining the life that clings to the banks of Le Petit-Bas-Canada. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, metallic blue, catching the stillness of the water as it flows toward the gulf. Only 3 km away, the quiet surface of Lac Jourdain holds the reflection of the surrounding ridges, while the vast, rugged expanse of Parc national de la Gaspésie waits 35 km inland, anchoring the horizon in deep, shadowed green. The pulse of industry in Le Petit-Bas-Canada has long shifted with the currents of the tide and the turning of the woods, drawing strength from the harsh, honest demands of the coast. Generations have learned to read the sky over the St. Lawrence, knowing that the wind off the water dictates the day’s labor as much as any calendar. Life maintains a deliberate pace, rooted in the seasonal cycles of a landscape that does not yield easily to those who do not listen to its shifts. Even now, the spirit of the place persists in the way the local folk gather their wood and watch the fog roll off the Rivière Cap-Chat, finding a quiet satisfaction in the endurance required to inhabit such a precipitous, beautiful edge of the world.
Le Petit-Bas-Canada s'étire avec une humilité tranquille le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la rudesse des terres gaspésiennes. Sous l'ombre protectrice du Mont Bellevue, la lumière du soir dépose un éclat cuivré sur les eaux qui défilent, tandis que la Rivière Cap-Chat sculpte son passage vers le large, rythmant le quotidien de ceux qui habitent ce littoral escarpé. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Jourdain offre un miroir immobile au ciel, contrastant avec la vigueur des courants marins, alors que le Parc national de la Gaspésie, situé à trente-cinq kilomètres, semble veiller sur l'horizon en une masse bleue et minérale. Le Petit-Bas-Canada porte en lui la mémoire des défricheurs, une persévérance silencieuse dans le travail de la terre et de la mer, où chaque maison paraît ajuster ses fenêtres pour ne rien manquer du spectacle changeant des marées. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une humidité qui imprègne les boisés et les champs, rappelant sans cesse que la vie ici obéit aux caprices du climat. Entre la solidité du relief et l'immensité du fleuve, ce territoire conserve une identité brute, façonnée par les éléments et une solitude qui, loin d'être un poids, devient une forme de liberté pour quiconque apprend à écouter le ressac.

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.
