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 Rivière-à-Claude.
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.

Rivière-à-Claude is a municipality in Rivière-à-Claude; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rivière-à-Claude is located at 49.2185°N, 65.8949°W.
Rivière-à-Claude rests upon the rugged northern edge of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the land falls sharply toward the cold, slate-grey expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 40.8 km north-west of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 315°T), and is situated 11.9 km west of Mont-Louis. The terrain rises abruptly from the shore, defined by the narrow, persistent channel of the Rivière à Claude that carves its way through the steep slopes of the Le Bec de Corneille. When the evening light settles against the cliffs, the horizon blurs into a singular, bruised violet, and the salt-heavy air clings to the skin with a damp, bracing weight that defines the temperament of the coast. Inland, the hidden stillness of Lac de la Coulée mirrors the quiet isolation of the surrounding hills, offering a solitary contrast to the restless motion of the tides below. Life in Rivière-à-Claude has long been shaped by the necessity of the sea and the demands of the steep, unforgiving geography that dictates the placement of every home and road. Historically, the inhabitants looked toward the harvest of the waters and the timber from the surrounding slopes to sustain their survival, keeping the pace of existence aligned with the turning of the seasons. Today, the village maintains a character of stoic endurance, moving with a deliberate focus that reflects the scarcity of flat land and the proximity of the wilderness. The people of Rivière-à-Claude continue to observe the traditions of a maritime life, finding a specific, quiet satisfaction in the way the wind whistles through the valleys, constant and hollow, as it moves from the dark forest toward the shipping lanes of the great river.
Rivière-à-Claude s'étire avec une humilité tenace le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient ponctuer le silence des falaises. Le relief, marqué par le Bec de Corneille, impose sa stature minérale à ceux qui longent ces terres escarpées, tandis que la Rivière à Claude serpente vers l'estuaire en charriant la fraîcheur des terres hautes. À six kilomètres de là, le Lac de la Coulée demeure une présence discrète, niché dans le repli des collines où la lumière du soir s'attarde, dorant les graminées et les rochers avec une langueur presque palpable. La vie à Rivière-à-Claude se règle sur le souffle des marées et l'âpreté du vent marin, une existence façonnée par la rudesse climatique et la proximité immédiate de l'immensité bleue. Les habitations, dispersées sur ce terrain accidenté, semblent guetter le retour des brumes qui enveloppent les anses dès que le crépuscule décline. Ici, l'économie s'est longtemps appuyée sur les ressources que la terre et l'eau offrent avec parcimonie, forgeant un caractère où la patience le dispute à la résilience. Chaque souffle d'air chargé d'embruns rappelle aux résidents la permanence de cet horizon, invitant à une contemplation simple dans le tumulte contenu des éléments.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
