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 Saint-Alphonse.
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.

Saint-Alphonse is a municipality in Saint-Alphonse; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Alphonse is located at 48.1833°N, 65.6333°W.
Saint-Alphonse emerges from the rugged terrain of Le Calvaire, cradled by the persistent, cold vitality of the Rivière Bonaventure. It lies 17.1 km east of New Richmond, QC (from New Richmond, QC: bearing 82°T), and is situated 9.7 km north-north-east of Caplan. The water of the Rivière Bonaventure carves a silver path through the landscape, its movement dictating the quiet respiration of the valley where Lac à Hector rests four kilometers away. As dusk settles, the light takes on a thin, bruised quality, clinging to the ridges before slipping into the deep shadows of the woods. Nearby, the Chutes de l'Île du Ruisseau Creux mark the land with a persistent, low-frequency hum, a sound that vibrates through the bedrock and informs the solitary stillness of the afternoon. Saint-Alphonse holds this geography with an austere grace, where the air tastes of damp stone and the slow, inevitable turn of the seasons. The history of Saint-Alphonse follows the difficult, honest lines of timber and soil, drawing sustenance from the resources that define the interior of the region. Local industry remains tied to the forest and the river, reflecting a practical endurance that prioritizes the needs of the day over the clamor of the outside world. Residents move with a deliberate purpose, their lives shaped by the necessity of managing the land and the waterways that sustain them. In Saint-Alphonse, the weight of the work is balanced by the vast, open silence of the surroundings, creating a life that is defined as much by what is absent as by what is built.
Saint-Alphonse s'étire avec une simplicité grave dans le secteur du Calvaire, là où la terre semble vouloir épouser le cours vif de la Rivière Bonaventure. L’air y possède cette limpidité particulière des matins gaspésiens, une fraîcheur qui imprègne les boisés et descend doucement vers les rives pour y déposer une rosée persistante. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac à Hector offre un miroir immobile aux arbres, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes de l'Île du Ruisseau Creux rappelle la force vive qui sculpte ce relief accidenté. L'histoire de Saint-Alphonse se lit dans la patience des gestes posés par ceux qui ont défriché ces terres pour en extraire une subsistance exigeante, forgeant une identité liée à la forêt et au travail du sol. La lumière déclinante du crépuscule baigne les collines d'une teinte ambrée, soulignant la rudesse des pentes et la ténacité des habitations modestes qui s'y agrippent. Dans ce silence presque palpable, le mouvement des eaux de la Rivière Bonaventure dicte une cadence immuable, rappelant aux résidents la permanence du cadre naturel qui entoure Saint-Alphonse. Chaque sentier, chaque courbe du terrain raconte une appartenance profonde à ce pays de roches et de courants, où la vie quotidienne s'ajuste avec humilité aux exigences du climat et de la géographie.
