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 Marcil.
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.

Marcil is a hamlet in Port-Daniel–Gascons; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Marcil is located at 48.1269°N, 65.0422°W.
Marcil occupies a quiet expanse within the Colline de Port-Daniel, where the land tilts toward the St. Lawrence with a persistent, salt-heavy draft. It lies 18.7 km north-east of Paspébiac, QC (from Paspébiac, QC: bearing 55°T), and is situated 5.6 km south-west of Port-Daniel-Centre. The Rivière Shigawake traces a slender path through this terrain, its current providing a steady, low-frequency hum that anchors the surrounding slopes. Just two kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Vautier offers a reflective contrast to the restless movement of the nearby tides. When the light shifts at dusk, the water takes on a bruised, metallic sheen, casting long shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped behind the ridgeline. The economy of Marcil has long mirrored the cycles of the coast, reflecting a history tied to the extraction of resources and the movement of goods through Port-Daniel–Gascons. Life in Marcil adheres to a pragmatic, deliberate pace, where the seasonal transition dictates the cadence of work and rest. The architecture of the locality remains modest, standing against the bracing winds that funnel through the Colline de Port-Daniel with an endurance born of necessity. Residents move through their days with a familiarity that ignores the vastness of the geography, finding purpose in the maintenance of their homes and the preservation of a culture that values the quietude of a life lived close to the water.
Marcil s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief s'incline pour épouser la Colline de Port-Daniel. Ce coin de terre, marqué par une rudesse élégante, voit la Rivière Shigawake tracer son sillage paisible à travers les terres, apportant une fraîcheur constante aux habitations qui parsèment le secteur. Non loin, le miroir du Lac Vautier capte les dernières lueurs du jour, prolongeant une clarté argentée sur les champs qui rappellent les racines agricoles et forestières de la région. À Marcil, le rythme des journées suit la respiration des marées et le mouvement lent de la végétation, dans un espace où le vent salin se mêle à l'odeur des boisés environnants. Les familles y perpétuent un mode de vie sobre, façonnant leur quotidien avec la patience de ceux qui connaissent le poids des hivers et la générosité des étés courts. La géographie singulière de ce territoire impose une forme de respect, invitant à une contemplation silencieuse face aux horizons ouverts du littoral. Ici, la vie se déroule dans une harmonie discrète entre les eaux changeantes du fleuve et la stabilité minérale des reliefs, confirmant que Marcil demeure un refuge singulier dans le paysage de Port-Daniel–Gascons.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude.
