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-sur-Mer.
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-sur-Mer is a hamlet in Matane; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Matane-sur-Mer is located at 48.8272°N, 67.5850°W.
Matane-sur-Mer anchors itself where the restless expanse of the St. Lawrence meets the firm, cooling pull of the Rivière Matane. It lies 4.4 km west-south-west of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 246°T), and is situated 9.4 km east-north-east of Saint-Ulric. The weight of the water dictates the pulse of the days here, as the tide retreats to reveal the flats and the current presses inland with a persistent, rhythmic chill. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the land rises toward the Montagne à Ti-Jaune, a silent sentry overlooking the interaction between the river’s flow and the salt-heavy air. Just five kilometers away, the sheltered waters of Le Barachois offer a quieter counterpoint to the broad, grey-blue horizon of the estuary. At dusk, the light here turns thin and metallic, catching the whitecaps of the St. Lawrence and casting long, sharp shadows against the rising terrain, grounding the observer in a landscape that feels perpetually caught between the force of the river and the vastness of the sea. The history of Matane-sur-Mer remains tied to the movement of goods and people through this vital northern corridor, where the economy has long drawn sustenance from the harvest of the deep and the passage of timber. Residents navigate a life shaped by the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence, balancing the demands of modern industry with the enduring realities of a coastal existence. Whether watching the fishing vessels navigate the mouth of the Rivière Matane or observing the quiet activity near Le Barachois, one senses a deliberate, focused endurance in the local character. The people of Matane-sur-Mer go about their work with a pragmatism inherited from generations who understood that the shoreline is not merely a boundary, but a bridge to the wider world.
Matane-sur-Mer s’étire avec une noblesse tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme. La lumière crépusculaire y déploie des teintes nacrées, venant caresser la silhouette familière de la Montagne à Ti-Jaune qui domine l'horizon avec une constance souveraine. Le mouvement perpétuel des eaux de la Rivière Matane dicte le rythme de la vie locale, charriant les souvenirs d'une tradition maritime encore vive dans le quotidien des résidents. À quelques kilomètres, le Barachois offre un refuge apaisant, transformant le paysage en une étendue où le ciel et l'onde semblent sceller un pacte silencieux. L'économie de Matane-sur-Mer, façonnée par les ressources du large et une industrie tournée vers la transformation des richesses marines, conserve une authenticité farouche, loin des artifices des grands centres. Chaque matin, l'air vif et pur imprègne les façades, rappelant aux passants que cette terre appartient d'abord aux éléments. Les traditions, portées par les familles qui habitent ces parages depuis des générations, s'inscrivent dans une humilité partagée, nourrie par la proximité constante des courants et des marées. Ici, l'existence humaine se déploie avec une lenteur réfléchie, protégée par l'immensité du fleuve et la présence rassurante des hauteurs environnantes.
