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 Plourde.
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.

Plourde is a hamlet in Métis-sur-Mer; La Mitis, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Plourde is located at 48.6886°N, 67.9500°W.
Plourde rests upon the quiet, northern edge of the St. Lawrence, where the salt air meets the rising slopes of the Montagne des Caron. It lies 21.0 km east-north-east of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 57°T), and is situated 5.5 km south-west of Baie-des-Sables. The terrain here holds a persistent, cool clarity, shaped by the proximity of the water and the sheltering presence of the nearby heights. Five kilometers inland, the surface of Lac à Poitras mirrors the shifting clouds, while the Rivière du Petit Mitis winds through the landscape six kilometers away, drawing a thin, silver line through the verdant cover. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the light catches the estuary in a way that turns the deep blue of the St. Lawrence into a burnished, metallic grey, cooling the air and drawing the quiet inward toward the homesteads. The history of Plourde reflects the steady, deliberate character of La Mitis, where generations have looked to the intersection of field and shore for their livelihood. Agriculture and the seasonal harvest define the work of the inhabitants, who have long managed the land with a pragmatic grace that honors the stubborn, rocky soil. Life in Plourde moves in accordance with the seasons, from the spring thaw that swells the local waterways to the long, hushed winters that settle over the Montagne des Caron. The legacy of those who first cleared these clearings persists in the layout of the old roads and the enduring stone foundations that weather the coastal winds, marking a place where the human presence remains small against the vast, open horizon of the gulf.
Plourde déploie ses terres modestes sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin s'alourdit d'une fraîcheur saline qui semble suspendre le mouvement des marées. À quelques lieues de la Montagne des Caron, le terrain s'élève doucement en une ondulation fertile, marquée par le labeur des générations qui ont su tirer leur subsistance de cette terre aux hivers rigoureux. La Rivière du Petit Mitis serpente à environ six kilomètres de là, apportant un souffle d'humidité aux champs qui s'étendent vers le Lac à Poitras, situé à une distance de cinq kilomètres environ. La lumière du soir y possède une clarté singulière, presque métallique, qui souligne la silhouette des granges et la rectitude des clôtures. Les familles de Plourde perpétuent une existence liée aux rythmes lents de l'agriculture et de la proximité du fleuve, conservant cette ténacité silencieuse des gens qui habitent les marges du monde. Ici, le ciel immense écrase les demeures par sa grandeur, tandis que le vent qui remonte du rivage murmure à travers les hautes herbes, rappelant à quiconque s'y attarde que la nature dicte encore les lois de la vie quotidienne avec une autorité sans appel.
