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 Côtes-du-Portage.
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 Côtes-du-Portage is a hamlet in Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Côtes-du-Portage is located at 49.2544°N, 65.5714°W.
Les Côtes-du-Portage clings to the rugged rise of the St. Lawrence, where the salt-heavy air meets the persistent, cold breath of the northern slopes. It lies 33.1 km north of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 351°T), and is situated 1.8 km west of Gros-Morne. The terrain here gathers around the Rivière du Gros Morne, a waterway that marks the land with an insistent, silver persistence, while the nearby Pic Émilio stands as a silent sentinel over the shifting tides. Just a short distance inland, the quiet surface of Lac à Grand-Père-Adelme holds the reflection of the passing clouds, offering a stillness that contrasts with the restless movement of the sea. At dusk, the light loses its sharp edge, turning the coastal rock into shades of bruised plum and slate, grounding the horizon in a profound, darkening weight. Life in Les Côtes-du-Portage draws its direction from the harsh demands of the Gaspé coast, where the economy has long favored the endurance required by the fishery and the seasonal harvest of the woods. The historical weight of the region rests on the shoulders of those who learned to read the currents of the St. Lawrence, turning the proximity of the Rivière du Gros Morne into a practical means of survival and trade. Families have maintained their presence here through generations, their daily routines dictated by the turning tides and the seasonal shifts of the wind coming off the water. Visitors often note the particular architecture of the homes, built low and sturdy to withstand the pressure of winter storms, standing as firm, unadorned markers against the vast, open expanse of the sky.
Les Côtes-du-Portage s’étendent avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’immensité marine rencontre le relief tourmenté de la Haute-Gaspésie. À proximité du Pic Émilio, le terrain bascule en une inclinaison sauvage vers les eaux, tandis que la Rivière du Gros Morne trace son sillon discret à travers la topographie escarpée. Le Lac à Grand-Père-Adelme, niché à une faible distance, recueille les reflets changeants d’un ciel souvent parcouru de brumes marines. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, étirant les ombres des rochers et conférant aux berges une gravité silencieuse que seul le ressac interrompt. Les Côtes-du-Portage vivent au rythme de ce contact direct avec l’élément liquide, héritières d’une ténacité propre à ceux qui habitent les marges. Le sol, parsemé de pierres et de courants, façonne une existence sobre, dictée par la proximité immédiate de la Rivière du Gros Morne et les caprices du grand large. Ici, la terre ne se donne pas sans une forme de résistance, exigeant de ses habitants une attention constante aux mouvements des marées et au souffle salin qui balaye les abords du Pic Émilio, transformant chaque journée en une observation silencieuse de la permanence des éléments.
