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 Matane-Est.
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.

Matane-Est is a hamlet in Matane; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Matane-Est is located at 48.8544°N, 67.4856°W.
Matane-Est rests where the persistent currents of the St. Lawrence meet the solid, grounded presence of the land. It lies 3.5 km east-north-east of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 69°T), and is situated 15.7 km north-north-west of Ruisseau-Gagnon. The terrain rises toward the Montagne à Ti-Jaune, a silent watcher over the valley where the Rivière Matane carves its path toward the sea. Inland, the landscape holds the quiet stillness of Lac à Luc, located a short distance away, where the water mirrors the shifting grey and blue of the coastal sky. At dusk, the light here possesses a particular clarity, sharpening the edges of the hills and turning the surface of the river into a ribbon of hammered silver. Life in Matane-Est moves in alignment with these natural shifts, defined by the bracing air that drifts off the water and the way the land slopes gently to meet the tide. Generations have built their lives around the rhythms of the Rivière Matane, relying on the water for both industry and sustenance. The local economy maintains a steady focus on the bounty of the region, balancing the demands of trade with a deep-seated respect for the surrounding wilderness. While the modern pace of life continues, Matane-Est retains a character shaped by its proximity to the rugged coast and the dense, dark woods that lean in from the horizon. Residents move through their days with an awareness of the changing seasons, knowing that the strength of Matane-Est lies in its permanence against the vast, open horizon of the north.
Matane-Est s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’air salin s’alourdit d’une fraîcheur qui semble descendre directement des profondeurs du large. Le regard glisse de cette étendue mouvante vers les hauteurs proches de la Montagne à Ti-Jaune, dont les versants sculptent l’horizon avec une sobriété toute nordique. À quelques encablures, la Rivière Matane déploie ses méandres vivaces, irriguant une terre où le labeur des hommes a longtemps épousé le rythme des marées et des récoltes. Non loin de là, le Lac à Luc demeure une présence silencieuse, un miroir sombre niché dans le repli des terres, offrant aux promeneurs une halte de calme absolu loin du tumulte des eaux plus vastes. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, dorant les façades et les champs tandis que l’activité industrielle, liée aux richesses de la mer et de la forêt, ralentit son pas pour laisser place au silence. Matane-Est habite ce paysage avec une persévérance humble, façonnée par les vents du nord et la proximité constante d’un cours d’eau dont le souffle rythme chaque battement de la vie quotidienne. Ici, la géographie dicte une existence où l’âpreté du climat se marie à la douceur des soirées d’été, entre les crêtes de la Montagne à Ti-Jaune et les reflets changeants du fleuve.
