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 Pointe-à-la-Garde.
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.

Pointe-à-la-Garde is a village in Escuminac; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Pointe-à-la-Garde is located at 48.0786°N, 66.5436°W.
Pointe-à-la-Garde rests upon the shoreline of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises to meet the shadows cast by Callaghans Hill. It lies 11.3 km north-west of Bois-Joli, QC (from Bois-Joli, QC: bearing 307°T), and is situated 13.6 km north-east of Campbellton. The air here carries a persistent, briny chill that clings to the coat, a reminder of the vast, cold currents moving just beyond the reach of the eye. Inland, the terrain folds into quiet hollows where Lac des Bleuets sits tucked away, its surface often mirroring the low, grey clouds that drift in from the gulf. The landscape feels held in a state of suspended anticipation, caught between the heavy, dark timber of the hills and the relentless, rhythmic pulse of the tide. Life in Pointe-à-la-Garde turns on the quiet necessity of work, drawing its shape from the shifting seasons and the reach of the nearby Rivière Escuminac. Residents maintain a steady gaze toward the horizon, mindful of the heritage that connects them to the land and the water, while the proximity of Parc national de Miguasha invites a quiet reverence for the deep, ancient history buried within the layered shale. Farther afield, the presence of Chutes de Brébeuf marks the rugged, vertical character of the hinterland, providing a contrast to the flatter, salt-scoured coastal margins. In the evening, when the light thins to a pale amber against the dark slope of the hills, the silence of Pointe-à-la-Garde deepens, revealing the solitary composure of a life lived at the edge of the great river.
Pointe-à-la-Garde s’étire avec une tranquille noblesse le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s’attarde sur l’immensité des eaux froides et le relief affirmé de la colline Callaghans. Ce paysage, façonné par les vents marins et la rudesse des hivers, conserve une âme tournée vers la terre et les horizons maritimes. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière Escuminac serpente avec une discrétion minérale, tandis que les eaux calmes du Lac des Bleuets demeurent cachées dans les terres, offrant une respiration plus sauvage à ceux qui arpentent ces sentiers. L’existence ici se mesure au rythme des marées et à la patience des saisons, loin des bruits du monde, alors que la lumière déclinante du crépuscule vient dorer les versants proches. Les voyageurs qui s’aventurent vers les Chutes de Brébeuf ou qui longent les falaises du Parc national de Miguasha découvrent une géographie où l’histoire acadienne imprègne chaque pierre et chaque soupir de la forêt. Dans ce cadre austère et magnifique, Pointe-à-la-Garde demeure un refuge de silence, une présence solitaire qui observe le fleuve défiler avec la constance des choses qui savent durer sans rien demander à personne, si ce n'est la paix de ses vastes étendues.
