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-au-Renard.
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-au-Renard is a village in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Petite-Rivière-au-Renard is located at 49.0142°N, 64.4225°W.
Petite-Rivière-au-Renard rests where the land yields to the vast, cold reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 21.4 km north of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 11°T), and is situated 3.5 km north-west of Rivière-au-Renard. The Petite rivière au Renard carves a path toward the sea, its current pulling the scent of salt and damp earth through the valley. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Castor offers a quiet counterpoint to the restless movement of the tide, while the rugged terrain serves as a threshold to the sprawling expanse of Forillon National Park of Canada, located just a short distance away. When the light fades at dusk, the horizon turns a bruised violet, casting a long, sharp shadow over the rocky shoreline that defines the edge of the world. Generations of families in Petite-Rivière-au-Renard have looked to the water as the primary architect of their lives, building a culture defined by the seasonal cycles of the fishery. The economy retains a sturdy, pragmatic character, reflecting a history of resilience against the maritime climate of La Côte-de-Gaspé. While the modern day brings a quieter pace to the docks, the remnants of wooden piers and the weathered siding of older homes stand as honest markers of a life spent working in proximity to the spray. The air here holds a crisp, bracing clarity, sharpened by the proximity of the gulf and the deep, silent woods that crowd the valley’s rim.
Petite-Rivière-au-Renard s’étire sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’eau salée rencontre la fraîcheur vive de la Petite rivière au Renard dans un dialogue perpétuel avec les marées. Le terrain s’incline doucement vers l’horizon marin, offrant aux habitants une existence rythmée par la patience des pêcheurs et la rigueur des vents qui sculptent la côte. À quelques lieues de ce rivage, le Lac Castor repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que les vastes étendues du parc national Forillon du Canada protègent les terres sauvages qui prolongent la péninsule. La lumière, lors du déclin du jour, se fragmente sur les galets et les toits, baignant Petite-Rivière-au-Renard d’une clarté nacrée qui semble suspendre le monde dans une immobilité ancienne. Cette terre, façonnée par l’âpreté des hivers et la générosité des eaux, conserve une mémoire vive des familles établies ici pour défier la solitude du large par le travail et la solidarité. Entre la profondeur du fleuve et le relief escarpé qui borde le territoire, la vie s’écoule avec la lenteur des choses essentielles, laissant les hommes et les femmes en harmonie avec une nature dont ils connaissent chaque caprice et chaque promesse de moisson marine.
