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 Trou-à-Balle.
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 Trou-à-Balle is a hamlet in Nouvelle; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Trou-à-Balle is located at 48.1639°N, 66.3917°W.
Le Trou-à-Balle rests in a quiet embrace where the Rivière Nouvelle meets the expansive reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 10.9 km north of Baie-des-Hérons, QC (from Baie-des-Hérons, QC: bearing 354°T), and is situated 12.8 km north of Dalhousie. The land here holds a particular weight, defined by the proximity of La Butte, which rises to meet the shifting light of the Gaspé sky. To the west, the landscape gathers around the stillness of Petit lac à Ted, while the distant, rushing energy of Chutes de Brébeuf echoes through the damp cedar stands. When the sun dips low, the air near the water turns sharp and clear, catching the salt-tinged breeze that travels inland from the coast, turning the surface of the river into a pane of hammered pewter. The life of Le Trou-à-Balle draws much of its character from the proximity of the earth and the enduring influence of the nearby Parc national de Miguasha, a site that anchors the regional identity in deep geological time. Generations have worked these slopes, finding their livelihood in the cycles of the land and the harvesting of the river’s bounty. Traditions here persist in the quiet work of daily maintenance and the seasonal shifts of the local economy, which remains focused on the resources provided by the surrounding terrain. Even now, the pace of the day is dictated by the turning tide and the slow passage of clouds over the ridge, leaving the residents of Le Trou-à-Balle with a steady, watchful patience that mirrors the permanence of the ground beneath their feet.
Le Trou-à-Balle se déploie avec une humilité saisissante sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme près de La Butte. Dans cette échancrure de la Rivière Nouvelle, la lumière du soir s'attarde sur les galets et les herbes hautes, conférant aux berges une gravité silencieuse que seuls interrompent les mouvements lents du courant. À quelques kilomètres, le Petit lac à Ted conserve une quiétude minérale, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de Brébeuf ponctue le calme plat des terres avoisinantes. Le Trou-à-Balle semble exister en marge des grandes agitations, protégé par la proximité du Parc national de Miguasha dont les falaises portent la mémoire profonde des époques révolues. Les habitants observent les marées et le défilé des saisons avec une patience héritée des anciens, cultivant un lien indéfectible avec ce sol où l'eau dicte chaque geste quotidien. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une humidité qui imprègne les boisés et les champs, rappelant à quiconque s'y arrête que la nature, ici, ne se laisse jamais dompter mais s'apprivoise dans le respect des cycles immuables qui règlent la vie des hommes sur ces bords de mer.
