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-des-Olives.
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-des-Olives is a hamlet in Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Ruisseau-des-Olives is located at 49.2458°N, 65.6625°W.
Ruisseau-des-Olives rests where the rugged edge of the continent meets the cold, vast expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 34.0 km north-north-west of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 339°T), and is situated 8.5 km west of Gros-Morne. The terrain here rises sharply from the shore, defined by the steep slopes and the proximity of Pic Émilio, which casts a long, stabilizing shadow over the rugged coastal incline. Nearby, the Rivière de l'Anse Pleureuse carves its way toward the sea, its movement providing a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the local atmosphere. Three kilometers inland, the stillness of Lac de l'Anse Pleureuse offers a quiet counterpoint to the restless surf, its surface often mirroring the slate-grey clouds that drift in from the gulf. At dusk, the light catches the mineral veins in the rock faces, turning the landscape into a study of muted ochres and deep, cooling blues. The history of Ruisseau-des-Olives is held in the persistence of those who worked the water and the timbered hillsides of Saint-Maxime-du-Mont-Louis. Life here adheres to the seasonal shifts of the La Haute-Gaspésie, where the economy has long drawn its strength from the natural resources cradled by the surrounding geography. Daily existence is marked by the pragmatic demands of a coastal life, where the presence of the Rivière de l'Anse Pleureuse has historically facilitated the movement of goods and the rhythms of local industry. The culture is one of endurance, shaped by the salt air and the physical challenge of the terrain, leaving little room for artifice. Even now, the people maintain a quiet focus on the horizon, their lives defined by the intersection of the deep, inland woods and the relentless, salt-sprayed currents of the St. Lawrence.
Ruisseau-des-Olives s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard se perd dans l’immensité salée, juste à côté du Pic Émilio qui dresse sa silhouette familière au-dessus des eaux. L’air y possède une netteté coupante, chargée de l’odeur du large et du sel, imprégnant les maisons qui tournent le dos aux vents dominants pour mieux se protéger des humeurs changeantes du grand fleuve. La Rivière de l'Anse Pleureuse trace son sillon paisible à travers ce relief accidenté, apportant une fraîcheur constante sous les frondaisons, tandis que le Lac de l'Anse Pleureuse demeure, à quelques kilomètres à peine, comme un miroir sombre et tranquille niché dans le creux des terres. Ruisseau-des-Olives vit au rythme des marées qui marquent le passage des heures, un quotidien forgé par la patience nécessaire pour apprivoiser ce littoral escarpé. Les habitants, héritiers d'une ténacité qui ne s'éteint jamais, observent le crépuscule teinter le ciel de nuances cuivrées, une lumière particulière qui semble figer le temps sur les rivages. Ici, la rudesse du paysage ne demande aucune fioriture, car la beauté réside dans cette simplicité austère, celle d’un monde où chaque pierre et chaque courant racontent une existence tournée vers les forces élémentaires.
