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 Ruisseau-à-Patates.
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.

Ruisseau-à-Patates is a residential area in Sainte-Anne-des-Monts; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Ruisseau-à-Patates is located at 49.1447°N, 66.4454°W.
Ruisseau-à-Patates emerges where the rugged terrain of La Haute-Gaspésie meets the cold, vast currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 18.4 km east-north-east of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 73°T), and is situated 3.5 km east-north-east of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The landscape here is defined by the steady descent of the Petite rivière Sainte-Anne, which carves a path through the earth toward the coast, shadowed by the looming presence of Mont Bellevue. As dusk settles, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, catching the salt spray that drifts inland to coat the stones along the shoreline. Inland, the terrain rises toward the distant, forested expanse of Parc national de la Gaspésie, while the quiet waters of Lac du Quatre rest in the stillness of the interior hills, six kilometers removed from the coastal edge. Life in Ruisseau-à-Patates reflects the austerity of a region shaped by the seasonal demands of the sea and the forest. The economy has historically looked toward the timber and the tides, with generations of families finding their livelihood in the harvesting of natural resources that define the northern shoreline. While modern life moves forward, the character of Ruisseau-à-Patates remains marked by a certain stoicism, a necessary response to the biting winds that sweep down from the north and the heavy, damp silence of the winter months. The air often tastes of pine needles and brine, a sharp clarity that clarifies the mind and keeps the pace of daily existence honest and direct.
Ruisseau-à-Patates s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin du large rencontre la rigueur minérale de la côte gaspésienne. Le relief s'élève doucement vers le Mont Bellevue, dominant les habitations éparpillées avec une prestance silencieuse qui semble veiller sur le labeur des hommes. À proximité, les eaux vives de la Petite rivière Sainte-Anne se jettent vers le grand large, marquant le rythme quotidien par leur écoulement constant vers l'estuaire. Les terres portent encore la mémoire des premiers défrichements, ces efforts acharnés pour dompter un sol exigeant que les embruns viennent caresser chaque matin. Plus loin, le Lac du Quatre repose dans un creux de terre à quelques lieues, tandis que le Parc national de la Gaspésie impose sa présence majestueuse à vingt-six kilomètres de distance, rappelant la proximité des sommets sauvages. Ruisseau-à-Patates conserve cette identité singulière des zones côtières où la mer dicte la lumière et les humeurs du ciel. Entre le bleu profond du fleuve et le vert sombre des terres hautes, la vie s'organise avec une simplicité austère, façonnée par les vents et la proximité immédiate de ces éléments naturels qui ne laissent aucune place à l'inutile.
