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 Pont-Durette.
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 Pont-Durette is a locality in Matane; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Pont-Durette is located at 48.7950°N, 67.5389°W.
Le Pont-Durette stands as a quiet sentinel where the land rises sharply toward the Montagne à Ti-Jaune. It lies 5.4 km south of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 187°T), and is situated 12.3 km north-west of Ruisseau-Gagnon. The Rivière Matane cuts a path through this rugged terrain, its currents echoing against the stone foundations that define the character of Le Pont-Durette. As the light wanes, the water takes on a bruised, metallic sheen, reflecting the dense shadows cast by the slopes above. Only two kilometers distant, the stillness of Lac Blanchette offers a stark contrast to the persistent, low-frequency hum of the river as it pulls toward the St. Lawrence. Here, the air carries a sharp, pine-scented edge that clings to the skin, marking a landscape defined more by the weight of its geology than by the ambitions of those who pass through it. Life in the shadow of the Montagne à Ti-Jaune has long been shaped by the cold, clear pulse of the Rivière Matane, which once served as the primary artery for the timber trade that sustained early settlers. While the clamor of the mills has faded, the local economy retains a stubborn independence, rooted in the seasonal rhythms of the forest and the careful stewardship of the surrounding hills. Traditions here are kept close, passed down in the way a woodstove is stoked or a trail is cleared before the first heavy snowfall settles over the valley. The presence of the St. Lawrence provides a constant, invisible horizon, grounding the daily labor of the people in a geography that demands both respect and a certain quiet endurance.
Le Pont-Durette s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la rudesse des terres qui grimpent vers la Montagne à Ti-Jaune. Dans cette portion de la Matanie, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une patine argentée sur les eaux tumultueuses de la Rivière Matane, dont le courant constant rythme le passage des heures pour ceux qui habitent ces parages. À quelques encablures, le Lac Blanchette demeure un miroir immobile, une présence silencieuse qui capte la clarté déclinante du ciel boréal. Le Pont-Durette semble habité par une sérénité ancienne, forgée par le labeur des générations qui ont apprivoisé ce relief escarpé, tirant leur subsistance du bois et de la terre ferme. L’air y possède une netteté tranchante, presque palpable, qui accentue la silhouette des conifères et le dessin précis des berges. Ici, le paysage se livre sans artifice, offrant une solitude douce et grave à qui sait observer la manière dont le jour s’éteint contre la paroi rocheuse. Chaque geste quotidien, dans cette étroite bande de territoire, s'accorde au murmure de la rivière et à l'immensité du fleuve, confirmant la permanence d'une vie humble, intensément liée à la géographie austère de ce coin du Québec.
