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 Penouille.
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.

Penouille is a hamlet in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Penouille is located at 48.8597°N, 64.4236°W.
Penouille rests along the sweeping curve of the St. Lawrence, a quiet stretch of land defined by the proximity of the Le Sugar Loaf rising sharply against the horizon. It lies 5.5 km north-east of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 45°T), and is situated 10.1 km north-north-west of Douglastown. The air here holds the sharp, salt-edged clarity of the northern Atlantic, carrying a coolness that lingers even when the sun hits the water at high noon. Nearby, the landscape opens toward the vast expanse of Forillon National Park of Canada, while the inland terrain bears the quiet presence of Lac de la Montagne de Roche and the distant, winding path of the Rivière Dartmouth. At dusk, the light loses its glare and settles into a bruised violet, turning the surface of the St. Lawrence into a mirror that holds the darkening silhouettes of the shore. The history of Penouille remains marked by the persistent, salt-crusted efforts of those who once sought a living from the cold, deep waters of the gulf. While the local economy has shifted away from the intensive maritime ventures of the past, the spirit of the shore persists in the way the local architecture keeps its back to the wind. Penouille retains a sense of detachment from the frantic pace of the wider world, favoring a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows of the landscape. Life here moves according to the tides and the seasonal transition of the light, grounded in a geography that demands patience from those who dwell within its reach.
Penouille s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent avec une langue de sable qui semble vouloir prolonger indéfiniment la terre vers l’immensité marine. À proximité, le Sugar Loaf domine l’horizon de sa masse imposante, imposant une présence minérale qui semble surveiller le calme des eaux. Cette géographie singulière, façonnée par les marées et les vents, conserve le souvenir des premiers établissements où la vie s’organisait autour de la pêche et d’une agriculture humble, luttant contre la rudesse du sel. À quelques kilomètres, le parc national Forillon du Canada protège les escarpements sauvages, tandis que la rivière Dartmouth charrie vers l’estuaire les secrets des forêts intérieures, tout comme le lac de la Montagne de Roche, niché plus loin dans les terres, offre un miroir immobile au ciel changeant. Penouille demeure ainsi un espace de transition, un repli où la lumière du crépuscule dépose une teinte nacrée sur les herbes salines. Le quotidien y est marqué par une patience ancienne, héritée de ceux qui ont appris à lire les signes météorologiques sur le visage du fleuve, transformant chaque journée en une observation silencieuse du ressac qui façonne encore aujourd’hui, avec une précision lente, la texture même de ce rivage si particulier.

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.
