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 Petite-Rivière-Ouest.
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.

Petite-Rivière-Ouest is a hamlet in Grande-Rivière; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petite-Rivière-Ouest is located at 48.3858°N, 64.5372°W.
Petite-Rivière-Ouest rests along the salt-scoured edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the sea beneath the watchful shadow of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 11.2 km east-north-east of Chandler, QC (from Chandler, QC: bearing 68°T), and is situated 3.4 km west-south-west of Grande-Rivière. The water of La Grande Rivière exerts a constant, pull-tide influence here, shaping the horizon where the sky seems to bruise into deep indigos as the sun retreats behind the coastal ridges. Inland, the terrain rises toward the quiet stillness of Pond à Morris, a hidden mirror five kilometers away that holds the reflection of the northern pines. While the distant silhouette of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé marks the threshold of the wider gulf thirty kilometers to the east, the immediate surroundings of Petite-Rivière-Ouest remain defined by the salt air and the persistent, rhythmic churning of the waves against the shore. Life in Petite-Rivière-Ouest moves in alignment with the maritime seasons, drawing its character from the generations who have worked the cold, productive waters of the St. Lawrence. The local economy persists through the harvest of the sea, a vocation that requires a keen understanding of the shifting currents and the temperamental moods of the river mouth. On quiet mornings, the mist clings to the docks of La Grande Rivière, dampening the sound of engines and leaving only the sharp, clean scent of brine and wet stone. This is a landscape of endurance, where the people maintain a legacy of resilience that mirrors the rugged, unyielding nature of the shoreline itself.
Petite-Rivière-Ouest s’étire avec une humilité souveraine sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin façonne la patience des hommes. Dominé par la masse sombre et protectrice du Sugar Loaf, le rivage offre une perspective singulière sur les eaux agitées qui, depuis des générations, dictent le rythme des travaux maritimes. Le paysage se déploie le long des rives de La Grande Rivière, dont le cours sinueux semble porter en lui le souvenir des premiers occupants et des familles acadiennes venues chercher une terre face à l'immensité. À quelques lieues de distance, le Pond à Morris demeure un havre discret pour la faune, tandis que, plus loin vers l'horizon, le Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé dresse ses falaises colossales comme une sentinelle immuable. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une clarté particulière, transformant les quais en silhouettes découpées et rendant aux maisons une dignité presque austère. Dans le calme de Petite-Rivière-Ouest, chaque mouvement de marée rappelle que la vie ici ne se mesure pas à l'agitation, mais à la permanence d'une mer qui n'oublie jamais ses enfants et à la rudesse magnifique d'un sol qui exige, en retour, une fidélité inébranlable.
