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-Damase-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-Damase-de-Matapédia rests within a rugged fold of the landscape, defined by the steady presence of the Montagne des Caron and the cool, persistent flow of the Rivière Tartigou. It lies 27.9 km east-north-east of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 72°T), and is situated 8.1 km south-east of Baie-des-Sables. The terrain here holds a particular clarity, where the light at dusk settles against the hillsides to sharpen the contrast between the dark timber and the open, working fields. Nearby, the water of Lac des Joncs catches the sky, reflecting a stillness that defines the quiet periphery of the village. The atmosphere carries a crisp edge, a reminder of the altitude and the persistence of the northern seasons that shape the way residents move through their day. Agriculture and the harvest of the forest have long dictated the character of Saint-Damase-de-Matapédia, anchoring the local economy to the cycles of the land. Generations have managed these slopes, finding a balance between the demands of the soil and the necessity of industry. The pace of life here is defined by the practicalities of the season, whether in the quiet preparation for the harsh winters or the brief, intense labor of the summer months. Traditions remain rooted in the resilience of those who first settled these valleys, and the endurance of the local inhabitants continues to shape the identity of the village as clearly as the winding course of the Rivière Tartigou itself.
Saint-Damase-de-Matapédia s'étire avec une humilité tranquille dans le relief accidenté que dominent les pentes de la Montagne des Caron. Sous le ciel changeant de la vallée, les terres agricoles déploient leurs sillons fertiles, tandis que la Rivière Tartigou serpente à travers les champs avec une constance mélodieuse, accompagnant le labeur des générations qui ont défriché ces sols exigeants. À seulement un kilomètre de distance, les eaux calmes du Lac des Joncs captent les dernières lueurs d'un crépuscule qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde, offrant un miroir silencieux aux arbres qui bordent ses rives. Saint-Damase-de-Matapédia conserve le souvenir d'une colonisation laborieuse, où le bois et la terre ont façonné une existence marquée par la rudesse des hivers et la générosité des récoltes estivales. La vie quotidienne s'y écoule au rythme des éléments, portée par le vent frais qui descend des hauteurs et la persistance d'un mode de vie rural où chaque geste perpétue une mémoire locale bien vivante. L'air y possède une pureté singulière, celle des espaces vastes où la nature impose sa cadence paisible, rappelant à quiconque s'y attarde que la force de ce territoire réside dans sa relation étroite avec les eaux et les sommets qui délimitent l'horizon.
