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 Matapédia-Ouest.
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.

Matapédia-Ouest is a hamlet in Matapédia; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Matapédia-Ouest is located at 47.9367°N, 66.9672°W.
Matapédia-Ouest rests firmly beneath the watchful shadow of the Sugar Hill, where the land tilts toward the currents of the Restigouche River. It lies 22.2 km west-south-west of Campbellton, QC (from Campbellton, QC: bearing 252°T), and is situated 4.7 km south-south-west of Matapédia. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and cooling stone, a sharp clarity that clings to the valley long after the sun dips behind the rising slopes. During the twilight hours, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long silhouettes across the fields that stretch toward the distant reaches of Lac à Nichol. Water is the pulse of this terrain, felt in the persistent, low-frequency hum of the Restigouche River that defines the edges of the horizon. Life in Matapédia-Ouest follows the seasonal turning of the woods, where the timber and agricultural legacies of the Avignon region shape the daily labor of its people. The presence of Little Falls, situated away from the main thoroughfares, draws those who seek the singular, percussive sound of rushing water against granite. History here is found in the quiet persistence of homesteads that have weathered the northern winters, turning inward when the frost settles into the ground. Matapédia-Ouest maintains a character of stoic endurance, defined by the people who work the valleys and navigate the dense, green ridges that define the physical boundaries of their home.
Matapédia-Ouest s'étire avec une patience minérale le long des rives de la rivière Restigouche, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers les terres basses. La lumière déclinante du soir accroche les pentes de la colline Sugar, enveloppant les champs et les habitations d'une teinte ambrée qui souligne la rudesse bienveillante du relief avignonnais. À quinze kilomètres de là, le Lac à Nichol dort dans un silence profond, tandis que le fracas lointain des chutes Little module la respiration de cette contrée forestière. Les hommes et les femmes de Matapédia-Ouest ont façonné leur existence en harmonie avec ces eaux vives et ces boisés denses, perpétuant une vie laborieuse où chaque geste répond au rythme imposé par la terre. L'air y est vif, chargé de cette fraîcheur singulière qui descend des hauteurs, rappelant sans cesse la proximité des éléments sauvages. Ici, le quotidien s'inscrit dans une fidélité aux gestes agricoles et forestiers, une persistance tranquille qui ignore l'agitation des grands centres. Entre la rivière Restigouche et les contreforts de la colline Sugar, le paysage se révèle dans une vérité nue, offrant aux regards attentifs la beauté dépouillée d'un pays qui sait se faire oublier pour mieux exister.
