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 Les Boules.
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.

Les Boules is a administrative sector in Métis-sur-Mer; La Mitis, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Les Boules is located at 48.6833°N, 67.9583°W.
Les Boules occupies a narrow, stoic stretch of shoreline where the land meets the vast, shifting grey of the St. Lawrence. It lies 20.2 km east-north-east of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 57°T), and is situated 6.3 km south-west of Baie-des-Sables. The terrain rises steadily from the water toward the steady presence of the Montagne des Caron, a backdrop that holds the morning light long after the shore has fallen into shadow. Nearby, the Rivière du Petit Mitis cuts a persistent, winding path through the silt and stone, its current dictating the quiet temperament of the immediate landscape. A short distance inland, the hidden waters of Lac à Poitras mirror the changing sky, offering a stillness that contrasts with the salt-heavy air blowing off the main channel. In the deepening dusk, the horizon blurs until the boundary between the river current and the dark silhouette of the hills becomes a matter of memory rather than sight. Life in Les Boules has long been shaped by the stubborn necessities of the coast, where the work of the day is measured by the tide and the turning of the seasons. The economy here remains rooted in the practical rhythms of the region, drawing on the resources provided by the surrounding forest and the cold, bracing waters of the St. Lawrence. Generations have maintained a quiet continuity, building homes that face the water as if waiting for the next shift in the wind. Even now, the persistent sound of the Rivière du Petit Mitis serves as a steady, underlying pulse for those who live within the reach of its banks, connecting the domestic chores of the present to the unyielding geography of the Montagne des Caron.
Les Boules s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin charge les poumons d'une fraîcheur saline qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. Dominé par la silhouette de la Montagne des Caron, ce territoire offre un relief qui descend avec une lenteur mesurée vers le fleuve, tandis que la Rivière du Petit Mitis serpente dans les terres, apportant une humeur changeante au paysage. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Poitras dissimule ses eaux calmes dans une solitude boisée, veillant sur ce coin de pays où l'agriculture a longtemps dicté la cadence des jours. Les Boules porte en elle une identité façonnée par cette proximité immédiate avec les courants du large, une existence rythmée par la lumière crue du nord qui, à l'heure du crépuscule, transforme les champs et les rivages en une étendue irréelle, presque liquide. Les habitants y cultivent une relation intime avec la terre et l'eau, héritiers d'une patience nécessaire pour composer avec les caprices climatiques de la côte. Ici, la vie ne se précipite pas ; elle s'accorde au souffle du vent et aux marées, conservant une authenticité rugueuse qui définit chaque maison posée face à l'immensité bleue.
