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.
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 is a municipality in Matapédia; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Matapédia is located at 47.9749°N, 66.9413°W.
Matapédia holds its position where the land yields to the confluence of waters near the broad St. Lawrence. It lies 19.4 km west of Campbellton, QC (from Campbellton, QC: bearing 262°T), and is situated 8.1 km east of Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia. The air here carries a persistent, cool clarity that sharpens the silhouette of Sugar Hill against the horizon. Below the rising terrain, the Rivière Matapédia moves with a steady, deliberate weight, carving a path that has long defined the local passage through the landscape. Residents of Matapédia often watch the light settle over these banks at dusk, a time when the water turns the color of hammered lead and the stillness of the valley feels absolute. Beyond the immediate settlement, the terrain reaches toward hidden pockets of wilderness, where Lac à Nichol sits tucked away in the quietude of the backcountry. Further along the rugged stretches of the district, the water surges through the Chutes Kempt, a reminder of the raw energy that persists in the periphery of this place. Life in Matapédia draws its character from the intersection of forestry and the seasonal cycles of the waterways. The settlement grew from the necessity of navigating these river corridors, and the local economy continues to reflect a deep engagement with the timber and terrain that surround the valley. Everyday life follows the turning of the seasons, marked by the arrival of spring ice breakups and the quiet preparation for the long winters. There is a distinct precision in the way people here maintain their dwellings and workshops, an inheritance from generations who learned to hold ground against the elements. Even as modern demands reach into the valley, Matapédia retains a singular focus, shaped by the proximity of the river and the imposing, watchful presence of the nearby heights.
Matapédia s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre l’intimité des terres. Le regard s’y perd vers la colline Sugar, sentinelle immobile qui observe le lent travail de la lumière sur les pentes boisées. À proximité, la rivière Matapédia sculpte le relief avec une constance qui définit le rythme des jours, charriant les échos d’une histoire façonnée par le bois et le passage des eaux. Les habitants de Matapédia connaissent la géographie intime des environs, celle qui mène vers la quiétude du Lac à Nichol ou vers la force vive des Chutes Kempt, dont le tumulte ponctue le silence des forêts. La vie ici se déploie dans une sobriété héritée des racines acadiennes et des savoirs ancestraux, où chaque geste de labeur se conjugue avec la rudesse et la clarté du climat. Dans cette géographie de contrastes, le quotidien se forge entre la rigueur des hivers et la douceur des étés, tandis que l’horizon demeure barré par l’élévation constante de la terre. Les maisons se groupent près des courants, humbles et résistantes, participant à une existence tournée vers les forces naturelles qui animent cette portion du territoire québécois.
