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-Cap.
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-Cap is a locality in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Petit-Cap is located at 50.7361°N, 59.3497°W.
Le Petit-Cap clings to the rugged, cold edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises sharply into the Troisième Morne. It lies 4.2 km north-north-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 333°T), and is situated 15.2 km north-north-east of Aylmer Sound. The terrain here is defined by the Ruisseau à Maurice, which carves its way through the rock toward the salt water, its presence marked by the persistent, low-frequency hum of moving water against stone. At dusk, the light loses its intensity, turning the grey shoreline into a silhouette that seems to hold the weight of the sea itself. Inland, the landscape finds a different stillness, with Lac à Outardes des Plaines resting three kilometers from the coast, mirroring a sky that often feels closer to the earth than it does in softer latitudes. Life in Le Petit-Cap moves with the necessity of the elements, shaped by a climate that demands resilience and a keen awareness of the shifting tides. The local economy persists through a deep familiarity with the coastal waters, drawing its sustenance from the bounty of the St. Lawrence, just as it has for generations. There is a quiet, singular beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the Troisième Morne, obscuring the horizon until the sun finally burns through to reveal the stark, honest lines of the coast. For those who remain, Le Petit-Cap exists as a place of deliberate endurance, where the daily work is measured not by clocks, but by the turning of the water and the seasonal temperament of the north.
Le Petit-Cap s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ciel bas de la Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent semble vouloir toucher l'écume. Dans le Troisième Morne, le relief s'incline doucement vers les eaux froides, offrant un refuge aux maisons qui guettent le passage des marées. Le Ruisseau à Maurice serpente entre les rochers et les terres sombres, drainant les souvenirs d'une terre rude vers l'immensité saline. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac à Outardes des Plaines repose dans une quiétude absolue, miroir gris sous les nuages qui défilent sans cesse. Le Petit-Cap conserve cette ténacité des lieux qui refusent de s'effacer, portée par une mémoire qui se transmet autant par le vent que par le geste quotidien des habitants. L'air y possède une texture singulière, chargée de sel et de l'humidité des tourbières, tandis que la lumière déclinante transforme chaque pierre en un fragment de bronze. Ici, la vie se mesure à la patience du courant et à la solidité du sol sous le pas, forgeant une existence dépouillée de tout artifice, où la rudesse du climat devient une manière d'être au monde. Chaque crépuscule souligne la solitude fière de ce rivage, invitant les ombres à se fondre dans le tumulte discret du fleuve.
