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 Quarante.
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 Quarante is a hamlet in Grande-Rivière; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Les Quarante is located at 48.3964°N, 64.5803°W.
Les Quarante rests along the rugged eastern edge of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the salt-heavy air of the St. Lawrence meets the quiet, winding currents of the Rivière du Petit Pabos. It lies 9.0 km north-east of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 54°T), and is situated 6.2 km west of Grande-Rivière. The land here holds a distinct, sharpened stillness, defined by the proximity of Le Sugar Loaf rising against the horizon like a weathered sentinel. At dusk, the light catches the cold, slate-grey water of the river, turning the surface into a mirror that reflects the darkening spruce lines and the low, heavy sky. Beyond the immediate terrain, the landscape maintains a sense of isolation, with Pond à Morris situated only a short distance away to provide a shallow, sheltered basin amidst the coastal brush. While the grandeur of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé draws visitors to the wider region, the immediate surroundings of Les Quarante remain defined by the intimate, shifting interface between the riverbank and the sea. The history of Les Quarante is rooted in the hard-won persistence of those who worked the tides and the timber, carving a living from the intersection of forest and foam. Economic life here has long looked toward the water, with the local industry mirroring the cyclical demands of the seasons and the cold, bracing requirements of the maritime climate. Tradition remains anchored in the daily movements of the tides, and the people of Les Quarante move with a quiet efficiency that respects the reach of the river. Even now, the cultural character of the locality is quiet, favoring the sound of wind through the coastal trees over the noise of modern development. There is a specific, bracing clarity to the winters here, where the frost clings to the river reeds and the landscape settles into a long, profound hibernation.
Les Quarante s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin vient embrasser les terres du Québec. Le relief s’élève doucement vers le Sugar Loaf, dont la masse imposante semble veiller sur les activités humaines, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière du Petit Pabos serpentent avec une constance paisible vers l’estuaire, charriant les reflets changeants du ciel boréal. À quelques lieues de là, le Pond à Morris offre une halte tranquille aux oiseaux de passage, préservant une intimité que les vents marins ne sauraient troubler. Le souvenir du Parc national de l’Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé demeure une présence lointaine, une sentinelle de pierre qui signale la force brute du littoral gaspésien. Dans Les Quarante, la vie se mesure à la cadence des marées et à la rigueur des hivers, forgeant une existence où le labeur quotidien honore la rudesse et la beauté de ce coin de pays. Les hommes et les femmes y habitent des espaces ouverts, tournés vers l’horizon infini, cultivant des traditions qui puisent leur essence dans la terre ferme et l’écume des vagues, dans une simplicité qui refuse les artifices pour mieux épouser le rythme pur de la côte.
