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 Métis-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.

Métis-sur-Mer is a town in Métis-sur-Mer; La Mitis, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Métis-sur-Mer is located at 48.6836°N, 67.9635°W.
The salt-heavy wind marks the character of Métis-sur-Mer as it presses against the northern edge of the Gaspé Peninsula. It lies 19.9 km east-north-east of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 57°T), and is situated 6.6 km south-west of Baie-des-Sables. The village clings to the shoreline of the St. Lawrence, where the gray expanse of the river meets the sky in a long, blurred horizon. Behind the cluster of homes and heritage buildings, the land rises toward the Montagne des Caron, a silhouette that anchors the view against the shifting tides. The Rivière du Petit Mitis cuts through the terrain, its flow a constant, cold presence that carves a path toward the sea. Beyond the immediate coastal fringe, the landscape softens into the quiet interior, where Lac à Poitras rests in the lowlands about 5 km away, holding the stillness of the deep woods. When the light fades at dusk, the water takes on the color of hammered lead, and the air carries the sharp, clean scent of crushed stone and brine. History settles upon Métis-sur-Mer in the form of Victorian-era architecture and estates that once drew travelers seeking the restorative power of the maritime climate. The local economy persists through a mix of small-scale agriculture and the seasonal arrival of visitors, all drawn to the particular clarity of the light that illuminates the coast. Life here moves in alignment with the seasons, from the hard frost that settles over the fields to the thaw that brings the rush of meltwater down the Rivière du Petit Mitis. Generations have maintained a quiet stewardship of the land, finding value in the isolation and the resilience required to thrive where the St. Lawrence dominates the daily outlook. It is a place defined by the weight of the water and the enduring presence of the hills, where the traditions of the past remain visible in the way the fences are mended and the gardens are turned against the coming winter.
Métis-sur-Mer s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent avec une patience héritée des vents salins qui sculptent la côte depuis des générations. Les habitations se tournent vers l’horizon maritime, tour à tour protégées et exposées par la proximité de la Montagne des Caron qui dresse son profil solide au-dessus des eaux. À quelques encablures, le courant de la Rivière du Petit Mitis déverse ses eaux douces vers le fleuve, marquant la terre d'une empreinte fluide et constante. Le Lac à Poitras, dissimulé à cinq kilomètres dans les terres, offre un calme minéral en contraste avec le ressac incessant du large. Le rythme de vie à Métis-sur-Mer se règle sur la clarté changeante du crépuscule, ce moment précis où le ciel se confond avec la surface du Saint-Laurent, effaçant les limites entre le ciel et la terre. Les traditions agricoles et maritimes se rencontrent dans cette géographie de roches et de marées, façonnant une identité forte, presque silencieuse, qui résiste aux assauts de l’hiver. Ici, la lumière possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui souligne la silhouette des arbres et la rugosité des chemins, rappelant que chaque geste quotidien se déploie sous l'immensité du ciel québécois.
