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 Caps.
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 Caps is a hamlet in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine; Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Caps is located at 47.3947°N, 61.9331°W.
Les Caps maintains a rugged, windswept presence along the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the sea with a stark and bracing intensity. It lies 5.2 km west-north-west of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC (from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC: bearing 294°T), and is situated 5.6 km west-north-west of Cap-aux-Meules. The terrain of Le Buttereau gives way to the sharp edges of the coast, defined by the persistent salt-heavy air and the shifting clarity of light that marks the transition between day and night. At the edge of the water, Lac à Anna rests in quiet stillness, reflecting the vast, open sky above this exposed stretch of terrain. The geography here demands a certain resilience, as the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, allowing the wind to shape the character of the ground itself. Life in Les Caps finds its pulse in the seasonal movements of the tides and the long-standing maritime traditions that define the local economy. Families here have long oriented their livelihoods toward the bounty of the St. Lawrence, balancing the demands of the sea with the quiet persistence required to thrive in such an isolated environment. The architecture of the region reflects this necessity, with sturdy structures built to withstand the elements while offering shelter against the damp chill that rolls off the water. Visitors to Les Caps encounter a culture built on self-reliance, where the daily routine mirrors the ebb and flow of the surrounding environment, fostering a deep, unspoken connection to the natural world.
Les Caps s’étirent avec une ténacité silencieuse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre déploie ses reliefs singuliers dans Le Buttereau. Le vent salin sculpte le paysage, balayant les herbes rudes et les escarpements qui défient l'immensité marine. À la limite de ces étendues tourmentées, le Lac à Anna demeure une présence immobile, miroir sombre et paisible qui capte les dernières lueurs d'un crépuscule déclinant sur les falaises. La lumière, d'une limpidité presque blessante, révèle la texture brute du sol et la persévérance d'une vie insulaire façonnée par la rudesse des éléments. Dans cet espace, les gestes des habitants s'accordent à la lenteur des marées et à la mémoire des ancêtres acadiens, dont les traditions persistent sous la caresse des embruns. Les Caps conservent une identité farouche, loin des agitations continentales, portée par le rythme immuable des vagues qui frappent le rivage. Chaque rocher, chaque repli de terrain raconte l'économie de la survie, une lutte patiente contre l'érosion et l'oubli. Ici, le ciel et l'eau s'unissent pour définir les contours d'un monde où l'horizon semble se confondre avec l'infini, offrant à ceux qui contemplent ces étendues une solitude faite de sel, de roches anciennes et de silence.
