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-Ouest.
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-Ouest is a hamlet in Chandler; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Petit-Ouest is located at 48.3736°N, 64.6594°W.
Le Petit-Ouest rests with a quiet, rugged endurance along the edges of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the cold, salt-heavy breath of the sea. It lies 3.1 km north-north-east of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 27°T), and is situated 12.4 km west-south-west of Grande-Rivière. The Rivière du Petit Pabos carves a path toward the shore, its movement providing a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the local atmosphere. Nearby, the presence of Le Gros Morne rises as a dark, singular sentinel against the horizon, anchoring the visual field in a way that makes the surrounding sky seem vast and exposed. About 2 km away, the still surface of Lac Kapit offers a change in texture, its sheltered water catching the pale, thin light of late afternoon in a way that suggests a deep, hidden stillness. When the fog rolls in from the water, the landscape loses its sharp edges, and the air takes on a crisp, metallic quality that feels older than the houses and roads clinging to the coast. Life in Le Petit-Ouest has long been shaped by the proximity of the water, with the local economy reflecting a history of resourcefulness and a direct relationship with the elements. While Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé lies 39 km away, its presence is felt in the regional consciousness, serving as a reminder of the dramatic geological heritage that characterizes this section of the coast. The daily routine here follows the pulse of the tides and the shifting intensity of the sun, marked by the practical tasks of maintenance and the quiet persistence of those who call this geography home. Whether through the seasonal fluctuations of the fishery or the slow turning of the seasons, Le Petit-Ouest maintains a character defined by its isolation and the stark beauty of its immediate, natural surroundings.
Le Petit-Ouest s'étire sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme dans une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le mouvement des marées. À proximité du Gros Morne, le relief sculpte une ligne d'horizon austère, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière du Petit Pabos serpentent avec une lenteur tranquille vers l'estuaire. À deux kilomètres de là, le Lac Kapit conserve un silence minéral, loin du tumulte des vagues qui viennent mourir contre les rochers sombres. Le Petit-Ouest porte en lui cette rudesse maritime, façonnée par les vents dominants et une mémoire ouvrière tournée vers l'immensité bleue. À trente-neuf kilomètres se dresse le Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, silhouette imposante qui rappelle la puissance géologique de cette côte gaspésienne. Les habitants observent le passage des saisons à travers la clarté changeante du ciel, une clarté qui souligne la texture des falaises et la persistance des traditions côtières. Ici, l'existence se mesure au rythme des courants et à la patience requise par le travail de la terre et de la mer, dans une solitude préservée où chaque crépuscule révèle un peu plus la noblesse dépouillée de ce littoral québécois.
