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 Buissons.
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 Buissons is a administrative sector in Pointe-aux-Outardes; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Buissons is located at 49.1022°N, 68.3853°W.
Les Buissons rests along the northern shore of the St. Lawrence, where the salt-heavy air clarifies the edges of the world. It lies 21.6 km south-west of Baie-Comeau, QC (from Baie-Comeau, QC: bearing 233°T), and is situated 6.6 km east-north-east of Ragueneau. The land here slopes toward the tide, shaped by the presence of the Rivière à la Truite, which cuts a narrow, persistent path through the terrain before meeting the greater expanse of the estuary. Inland, the horizon holds the stillness of Lac Lagacé, situated four kilometers away, where the reflection of the sky settles into the dark water like a held breath. During the long evenings, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long shadows over the low-lying shrubbery that gives Les Buissons its name. This quiet geography dictates the pace of the day, favoring the steady work of those who look toward the water for their living. The history of Les Buissons remains tied to the hard, practical demands of the Manicouagan region, where the economy has long drawn strength from the surrounding timber and the immense power of the nearby currents. Families here maintain a continuity that ignores the frantic pace of larger centers, preferring the reliable shift of the seasons and the cycle of the tides. Local life centers on the essential movements of the coast, where the cold, bracing wind serves as a constant reminder of the northern landscape. In the quiet hours of the morning, the sound of the Rivière à la Truite provides an auditory backdrop to the chores of the day, grounding the residents in a reality defined by the raw, unadorned presence of the water and the earth.
Les Buissons s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du large rencontre la terre ferme de la Manicouagan. Le paysage s'organise autour de la Rivière à la Truite, dont le cours sinueux sculpte le relief avant de se perdre dans les eaux froides du fleuve. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Lagacé demeure un miroir paisible, niché dans la profondeur des terres, rappelant la présence constante d'une nature sauvage qui domine les activités humaines. Les résidents de Les Buissons observent la lumière déclinante qui transforme la grève en une étendue de cuivre et d'ombre, révélant la texture rugueuse des sols et la ténacité des boisés environnants. Cette géographie façonne une existence rythmée par la marée et le climat boréal, imposant une sobriété nécessaire dans les gestes quotidiens et les travaux de la terre. Le souvenir des racines acadiennes et la proximité des territoires ancestraux imprègnent le caractère des habitants, dont la rudesse apparente cache une hospitalité sincère. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble s'ajuster avec humilité aux caprices du vent, tandis que l'horizon ouvert sur le grand large dicte une perspective où l'immensité du ciel et la force des courants dictent les limites de l'horizon quotidien.
