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-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.

Rivière-au-Renard is a village in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rivière-au-Renard is located at 48.9931°N, 64.3867°W.
The salt-heavy air clings to the rugged cliffs surrounding Rivière-au-Renard, where the relentless St. Lawrence meets the mouth of the Rivière au Renard. It lies 19.8 km north-north-east of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 19°T), and is situated 24.4 km north of Douglastown. The land here holds a sharp, clean clarity, with the deep green expanse of Forillon National Park of Canada standing as a sentinel just 11 km to the southeast, while the quiet waters of Lac Castor rest inland at a distance of 7 km. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, catching the whitecaps as the tide pushes against the river’s threshold, grounding the landscape in a cold, persistent beauty that demands attention from any who walk the shoreline. For generations, the economy of Rivière-au-Renard has looked outward toward the horizon, driven by a deep-seated reliance on the bounty of the sea. The docks serve as the heart of the locality, where the machinery of fishing fleets hums against the stillness of the Gaspé coast, defining the daily labor of those who know the temperament of the tides. Beyond the industrial focus of the harbor, the culture remains anchored in the resilience of maritime life, where the weight of the water and the seasonal shift of the winds dictate the flow of the day. Whether mending nets or navigating the passage of the seasons, the people maintain a practical, grounded existence that honors the raw, unyielding nature of the shoreline.
Rivière-au-Renard s’étire avec une tranquille obstination sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l’eau salée vient embrasser le courant de la Rivière au Renard. Dans ce repli de la Gaspésie, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une patine argentée sur les quais, soulignant la rudesse élégante des navires de pêche qui forment la sève économique de la localité. L’air marin, vif et chargé d’embruns, semble conserver le murmure des générations qui ont bâti leur existence sur cette ardeur maritime. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Castor dissimule sa placidité dans le relief environnant, tandis que le parc national Forillon du Canada dresse ses falaises protectrices face à l’immensité marine. Rivière-au-Renard vit au rythme des marées et du retour des chalutiers, perpétuant un savoir-faire transmis par les familles de pêcheurs qui ont façonné l’identité même de ce port. La terre ici se fait abrupte, sauvage, offrant aux regards un horizon où le ciel et l’eau se confondent dans une nuance de gris bleuté. Les habitations se groupent avec humilité devant le large, acceptant les vents du nord avec une patience héritée de ceux qui, depuis longtemps, ont choisi de faire du bord du monde leur demeure permanente.

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.
