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-au-Père.
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-au-Père is a administrative sector in Rimouski; Rimouski-Neigette, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pointe-au-Père is located at 48.5139°N, 68.4611°W.
Pointe-au-Père rests along the expansive reach of the St. Lawrence, where the salt-heavy air clings to the shoreline and the horizon dissolves into the grey-blue shift of the tides. It lies 21.5 km west-south-west of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 248°T), and is situated 7.0 km south-west of Sainte-Luce. The light at dusk here possesses a particular clarity, catching the edges of the Rivière Sainte-Anne as it moves steadily toward the sea, while inland, the quiet presence of Lac Desrosiers waits nine kilometers away. Beyond the immediate coastal stretch, the land rises with a rugged, northern composure, eventually giving way to the distant, enduring profiles of Parc national du Bic, located thirty kilometers from the water’s edge. Near the Le Mondrain, the terrain holds a stillness that suggests the long, cold patience of the Quebec landscape. History clings to the shoreline of Pointe-au-Père, marked by a maritime legacy that once guided sailors through the treacherous passages of the great river. The local economy and the daily movements of those living in Rimouski-Neigette reflect a deep familiarity with the water, where the cold currents dictate the pulse of the seasons and the cycle of the day. In the quiet corners of the village, the memory of seafaring tradition remains present, grounding the modern pace of life in the steady, salt-crusted reality of the coast. The people here move with a deliberate grace, accustomed to the raw, open expanse of the river and the way the wind carries the sound of the currents against the shore.
Pointe-au-Père s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve élargit son horizon sous une lumière qui semble suspendre le mouvement des marées. Le regard se porte vers le Mondrain, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Sainte-Anne murmurent leur passage discret à travers le relief. À quelques lieues, le calme du Lac Desrosiers s'offre comme un repos pour l'esprit, alors que le Parc national du Bic, plus lointain encore, dessine les contours accidentés de cette terre maritime. L'histoire de Pointe-au-Père se confond avec les récits des navigateurs et la rudesse des hivers, façonnant une identité façonnée par les courants et le sel. Les façades des maisons résistent avec une élégance sobre aux vents venus du large, affirmant une présence solide face à l'immensité mouvante. Les activités quotidiennes suivent une mesure lente, rythmée par l'observation attentive des navires et le souvenir des naufrages anciens qui ont marqué la mémoire collective. Ici, chaque soir, le ciel décline des nuances de gris et d'indigo sur les rives, offrant à ceux qui habitent Pointe-au-Père une sérénité sauvage, une proximité avec les éléments qui ne laisse aucune place à l'inutile.
