Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Miguasha.
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.

Miguasha is a hamlet in Nouvelle; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Miguasha is located at 48.0825°N, 66.2806°W.
Miguasha rests along the northern shore of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the rhythmic pulse of the tides near the La Butte. It lies 7.3 km east-north-east of Baie-des-Hérons, QC (from Baie-des-Hérons, QC: bearing 76°T), and is situated 12.8 km north-east of Bois-Joli. The air here carries a persistent, salt-tinged chill, refined by the expansive presence of the St. Lawrence, while the inland terrain rises toward the quiet, forested reaches of the region. A short distance away, the Rivière Nouvelle carves its path toward the sea, its presence felt in the humid, mossy breath that rises from the Bassin de la Rivière Nouvelle. Further inland, the geological significance of the cliffs draws scholars and travelers alike to the Parc national de Miguasha, a site that preserves the ancient transitions of life. Beyond these points, the distant roar of the Chutes de Brébeuf marks the deeper interior, adding a singular, resonant note to the silence of the surrounding woods. Life in Miguasha follows the turning of the seasons, rooted in a history shaped by the sea and the rugged demands of the coast. The local economy finds its footing in the quiet industry of the shoreline, where the work of generations remains visible in the modest architecture and the steady, deliberate pace of daily chores. In the quiet of the evening, the light catches the sediment-heavy currents of the Rivière Nouvelle, turning the water to a bruised, metallic violet that seems to hold the weight of the past. Miguasha maintains a character defined by this proximity to the water, where the heritage of the land is preserved in the very stones of the cliffs, offering a stillness that feels both permanent and profoundly fragile.
Miguasha s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le sol semble retenir encore le souffle des époques lointaines sous une lumière déclinante qui colore les falaises d'une teinte cuivrée. À proximité de La Butte, le paysage se compose de strates rocheuses et de terres agricoles qui descendent doucement vers les eaux, marquant le rythme d'une vie façonnée par la patience des marées et l'héritage des premiers occupants. Non loin de là, le bassin de la Rivière Nouvelle dessine ses méandres paisibles, tandis que les Chutes de Brébeuf ajoutent à la rudesse du relief une note de fraîcheur sauvage. Le Parc national de Miguasha protège ces trésors géologiques, offrant aux visiteurs la contemplation de fossiles qui racontent, dans le silence de la pierre, l'histoire primordiale du monde. Miguasha demeure un espace où l'air iodé rencontre la terre ferme dans une harmonie austère, rappelant aux passants la persistance des formes naturelles. Entre les rives de la Rivière Nouvelle et les étendues marines, le quotidien se déploie sans artifice, soutenu par une économie qui respecte la lenteur des cycles agraires et la force tellurique du site, invitant à une lecture attentive de chaque strate visible sur ces rivages singuliers.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
