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-Benoît-de-Matapédia.
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-Benoît-de-Matapédia is a hamlet in Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia; Avignon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Benoît-de-Matapédia is located at 47.9992°N, 67.1000°W.
Saint-Benoît-de-Matapédia rests against the rising contours of the Sugar Hill, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the interior hills. It lies 31.0 km west of Campbellton, QC (from Campbellton, QC: bearing 270°T), and is situated 12.1 km west-north-west of Matapédia. The Rivière Matapédia carves a path through the valley, its current pulling light from the sky and dragging it toward the horizon in a perpetual, cold shimmer. Beyond the immediate slopes, the terrain yields to a dense stillness, punctuated thirteen kilometers away by the hidden, dark basin of Lac du Ruisseau Gordon. Here, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity, especially at dusk when the shadows stretch long and blue against the timbered hillsides, momentarily erasing the boundary between the earth and the deepening sky. Settled within the broader folds of Saint-Alexis-de-Matapédia, Saint-Benoît-de-Matapédia maintains a character defined by the endurance of those who first cleared the cedar and spruce to establish a life in the Avignon region. The local economy relies on the stubborn persistence of agriculture and forestry, trades that dictate a daily routine governed by the cycles of the harvest and the seasonal thinning of the woods. People move through their tasks with a deliberate focus, mindful of the heavy winters that demand preparation and long hours of indoor labor. Even now, the cultural life of Saint-Benoît-de-Matapédia feels anchored to these inherited rhythms, where the sound of a distant chainsaw or the low rumble of a tractor serves as the primary language of the valley.
Saint-Benoît-de-Matapédia s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les terres fertiles d'Avignon, là où le regard se perd volontiers vers la silhouette imposante de la colline Sugar. Le courant de la Rivière Matapédia dicte une cadence ancienne à ce territoire, charriant les reflets argentés d'un ciel qui semble descendre pour toucher la terre humide. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac du Ruisseau Gordon attend dans le silence des sous-bois, gardien discret d'une quiétude que seule vient troubler la brise matinale. La vie à Saint-Benoît-de-Matapédia se construit sur une ténacité héritée, façonnée par les travaux de la terre et le labeur forestier qui ont, depuis longtemps, défini la stature des familles locales. Les façades des maisons, baignées par la lumière oblique du crépuscule, révèlent une intimité pudique, celle d'une existence tournée vers les cycles de la nature sauvage. Ici, chaque sentier et chaque recoin de la vallée rappellent la persévérance des pionniers, une mémoire vivante qui s'exprime dans la simplicité des gestes quotidiens. La géographie singulière de ce coin de pays, niché dans la vallée, confère à l'atmosphère une densité particulière, presque palpable, invitant à une contemplation lente des horizons qui se déploient sans fin sous la voûte immense.
