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 Petit-Cap.
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.

Petit-Cap is a village in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petit-Cap is located at 49.0306°N, 64.4475°W.
Petit-Cap rests where the land tilts sharply toward the St. Lawrence, defined by the steady, salt-heavy breath of the water. It lies 23.0 km north of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 5°T), and is situated 6.1 km north-west of Rivière-au-Renard. The Petite rivière au Renard carves a narrow path through the terrain, its current meeting the cold tides with a persistent, low-frequency hum. The air here holds a clarity that sharpens the edges of the horizon, while the light at dusk turns the coastal slopes into bruised shades of violet and slate. Inland, the landscape rises toward the quiet solitude of Premier Lac, located 3 km away, where the stillness of the water mirrors the sky. Those who look toward the distance find the rugged threshold of Forillon National Park of Canada 16 km away, a reminder of the vast, unyielding geography that cradles Petit-Cap. Life in Petit-Cap remains shaped by the demands of the coast, where the harvest of the sea has long dictated the movement of the day. The local economy persists through the resilience of those who read the tides and the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence, maintaining a connection to the water that predates modern convenience. Traditions persist in the quiet maintenance of gear and the shared knowledge of the currents, passed down through families who understand the temper of the northern weather. Even as the seasons cycle, the people maintain a focus on the immediate, practical tasks of a life lived at the edge of the continent, finding a steady, grounded purpose in the work that the shoreline demands.
Petit-Cap s’étire avec une humilité tenace entre les falaises sculptées par les vents du large et les eaux froides du Saint-Laurent. Ici, le rythme des journées suit le mouvement des marées qui viennent lécher les rives de Petite rivière au Renard, charriant avec elles le sel et le souvenir des ancêtres venus chercher fortune dans ces terres tournées vers l’horizon. À quelques lieues de là, le relief s’élève vers le parc national Forillon du Canada, dont les crêtes imposantes veillent sur la fragilité des habitations dispersées le long de la côte. Lorsque la lumière décline, une clarté bleutée s’installe sur les maisons, révélant la silhouette paisible de Petit-Cap dans ce cadre où le Premier Lac, dissimulé dans les replis du terrain à quelques kilomètres, semble retenir son souffle. Les habitants, façonnés par une vie laborieuse et le contact quotidien avec l’immensité maritime, perpétuent des gestes simples qui lient le présent aux traditions de pêche et de subsistance. L’air, chargé d’une humidité vive, porte en lui l’âpreté du climat gaspésien, imposant un respect naturel pour ce territoire qui refuse de se laisser dompter, offrant en retour une tranquillité rare à ceux qui acceptent de vivre sous l’immense ciel du Québec.

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.
