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-Cherbourg.
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-Cherbourg is a hamlet in Grosses-Roches; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Petit-Cherbourg is located at 48.9025°N, 67.1153°W.
Petit-Cherbourg rests upon the rugged, salt-sprayed edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land tilts toward the cold, blue expanse of the gulf. It lies 31.1 km east-north-east of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 78°T), and is situated 5.9 km south-east of Grosses-Roches. The Petite rivière Matane cuts a narrow, insistent path through the terrain, its currents carrying the chill of the highlands toward the coast near the Côte à Marguerite. Just a kilometer away, the quiet stillness of Lac Isabelle mirrors the gray clouds that frequently gather above the shoreline, holding a silence that seems to belong to the earth itself. When the dusk light settles over the water, the horizon turns the color of a bruised plum, casting long, thin shadows across the rocky banks and the hardy grasses that cling to the coastal slopes. The history of Petit-Cherbourg persists in the quiet endurance of those who have long harvested the bounty of these waters and the surrounding timber. Economic life here moves in synchrony with the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence, where the brine of the sea meets the fresh output of the Petite rivière Matane. Residents maintain a way of life defined by the immediate demands of the landscape, valuing the solitude found near the depths of Lac Isabelle as much as the collective labor required to thrive in such a demanding climate. Daily existence in Petit-Cherbourg reflects a deep familiarity with the elements, where the wind off the gulf dictates the pace of the afternoon and the turning of the tide marks the hours.
Petit-Cherbourg s’étire sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre bascule doucement vers l’immensité salée, face à la Côte à Marguerite. Dans cet espace façonné par le souffle marin, la Petite rivière Matane trace un sillon tranquille qui semble porter en lui la mémoire des défrichements et la rigueur du climat boréal. À peine un kilomètre sépare les habitations du Lac Isabelle, dont la surface sombre garde le silence des forêts environnantes. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, cette clarté oblique qui révèle la texture des champs et la solidité des structures en bois, héritières d’une économie tournée vers la terre et la rudesse des éléments. Petit-Cherbourg conserve cette allure des lieux qui ne cherchent pas à plaire, préférant la constance des marées et la rectitude des vents du nord. Les gestes quotidiens des habitants s’accordent au rythme des saisons, une persévérance silencieuse qui habite chaque bâtisse et chaque clôture. Ici, la géographie dicte une existence où l’humain se fait discret devant l’ampleur du fleuve, tandis que le ciel se mire dans les eaux calmes, unifiant le paysage dans une solitude minérale que seule la présence de la Petite rivière Matane vient doucement ponctuer de son murmure constant.
