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-des-Caps.
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-des-Caps is a hamlet in Notre-Dame-du-Portage; Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-des-Caps is located at 47.7336°N, 69.6447°W.
Rivière-des-Caps commands a stark, salt-washed vantage point where the land yields to the expansive reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 13.9 km south-west of Rivière-du-Loup, QC (from Rivière-du-Loup, QC: bearing 215°T), and is situated 6.3 km north-north-west of Saint-Alexandre-de-Kamouraska. The terrain rises toward the slopes of the Montagne Mississipi, holding the quiet rush of the Rivière des Caps as it carves a path toward the tide. Here, the light of late afternoon clings to the shore with a peculiar clarity, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that reflects the cool, northern sky. While Le Petit Lac rests in the hushed distance, the broader horizon feels dominated by the immense, shifting presence of the river, which dictates the temperature and the very texture of the air. The history of Rivière-des-Caps lingers in the weathered lines of the coastline, shaped by generations who lived by the seasonal movements of the water and the rugged soil of the riverbank. Economic life has long turned on the practicalities of the landscape, though the sight of the Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup nearby serves as a reminder of the raw, kinetic energy that defines the region’s topography. In the quiet intervals of the day, the sound of the wind moving through the trees near the Montagne Mississipi underscores a sense of isolation that is both grounding and profound. Residents of Rivière-des-Caps carry an awareness of their surroundings that is refined by the daily encounter with the tides, grounding their existence in the persistent, elemental weight of the earth and the current.
Rivière-des-Caps s’étire avec une langueur contemplative sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa démesure à la ligne d’horizon. Dans ce secteur proche de la Montagne Mississipi, les eaux de la Rivière des Caps viennent se mêler aux courants salés, dessinant une frontière mouvante entre le terreau fertile et l’immensité maritime. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose une patine argentée, révélant la silhouette des falaises qui surplombent le rivage tandis que le vent du large apporte une fraîcheur constante. À quelques lieues de cette quiétude, Le Petit Lac demeure une halte silencieuse, contrastant avec le tumulte plus lointain des Chutes de Rivière-du-Loup dont le murmure sourd parvient parfois jusqu’ici. L’existence à Rivière-des-Caps se règle sur le balancement des marées et la patience des hommes qui, depuis des générations, cultivent ces terres en bordure du grand chenal. Chaque demeure observe le passage des navires avec une discrétion héritée des premiers occupants, ces familles qui ont su lire dans les méandres de la côte une promesse de stabilité. La terre ici ne se livre pas sans effort, mais elle offre en retour cette sérénité particulière aux âmes sensibles au rythme lent des éléments, loin du bruit des cités, dans une solitude habitée par le chant ininterrompu du ressac.

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.
