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-du-Chat.
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-du-Chat is a locality in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Trou-du-Chat is located at 48.4839°N, 64.1661°W.
Le Trou-du-Chat occupies a rugged stretch of the St. Lawrence coastline, defined by the stark, weathered presence of the Le Sugar Loaf rising nearby. It lies 5.5 km south-east of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 144°T), and is situated 26.1 km east-north-east of Grande-Rivière. The salt-heavy air carries the cold clarity of the northern currents, settling over the terrain where the land meets the deep, churning water. Within a distance of roughly one kilometer, the protected expanse of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé exerts a quiet gravity, drawing the gaze toward the horizon where the sea and sky blur into a singular, slate-grey light at dusk. Though the Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils flows through the landscape about 11 km away, the immediate surroundings of Le Trou-du-Chat remain defined by the abrupt, stony margins of the coast and the persistent, rhythmic pulse of the tide against the shore. Generations have looked to the bounty of the St. Lawrence, maintaining a livelihood that shifts with the turning of the seasons and the demands of the water. The local economy persists through a grounded relationship with the sea, where the daily labor of extraction and harvest shapes the character of those who remain. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the legacy of the maritime industry lingers in the weathered wooden structures and the methodical care given to equipment, reflecting a history of endurance against the elements. Life in Le Trou-du-Chat follows the cold, honest necessities of a coastal existence, where the silence of the winter months is eventually broken by the returning light and the steady, industrious focus of the people preparing for another season.
Le Trou-du-Chat se dresse humblement sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s’attarde sur la silhouette massive du Sugar Loaf qui domine l'horizon marin. Dans cette lumière déclinante, le paysage semble retenir son souffle, observant la mer qui vient battre la roche avec une régularité séculaire. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, la présence imposante du Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé confère une solennité sauvage à ce littoral, tandis que, plus loin, les eaux de la Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils poursuivent leur course vers l'immensité salée. Le Trou-du-Chat conserve une intimité précieuse, celle des lieux qui ont appris à composer avec les caprices des marées et le vent du large, façonnant une identité façonnée par la pêche et le contact direct avec les éléments. Les maisons, tournées vers le grand large, semblent guetter le retour des barques dans une quiétude que seul vient troubler le cri lointain des oiseaux marins. Il émane de ce rivage une sensation d'éternité, une patience minérale qui s'accorde au rythme lent des vagues, invitant à la contemplation pure devant la rigueur et la beauté crue de la côte gaspésienne.
