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-Edgar.
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-Edgar is a hamlet in New Richmond; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Edgar is located at 48.2372°N, 65.7283°W.
Saint-Edgar rests within the quiet embrace of the Mont Saint-Edgar, where the land rises in firm, forested slopes above the winding course of the Petite rivière Cascapédia. It lies 12.9 km north-east of New Richmond, QC (from New Richmond, QC: bearing 50°T), and is situated 15.5 km north-north-west of Caplan. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the peaks and casts long, violet shadows across the valley floor. To the north, the terrain remains rugged and untamed, offering a stark contrast to the verdant, sheltered hollows where the light lingers in gold-leafed patches against the birch and pine. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Gagné provides a mirror for the shifting clouds, while the distant, rhythmic rush of the Chutes de la Plage serves as a constant, low-frequency pulse beneath the quietude of the woods. Saint-Edgar grew from the hard-won efforts of settlers who sought a life defined by the harvest of the timber and the cultivation of the narrow, fertile strips along the river. While the initial push of industry once brought a sharper clamor of axes and mills, Saint-Edgar now maintains a steadfast character shaped by the enduring presence of the Petite rivière Cascapédia, which continues to dictate the local movement of seasons and trade. The daily life of the inhabitants reflects the gravity of the surrounding Mont Saint-Edgar, favoring a stoic resilience that values the slow turning of the year over the haste of modern commerce. Even now, the cultural identity of the region draws strength from its history as an inland outpost, where the traditions of the hearth and the forest remain as essential as the bedrock itself.
Saint-Edgar s'étire avec une humilité sereine au pied du Mont Saint-Edgar, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle sur les crêtes boisées. Les eaux de la Petite rivière Cascapédia, serpentant à travers le relief, imposent une cadence paisible à ces terres autrefois défrichées par des mains courageuses en quête d'un sol fertile. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Gagné demeure une étendue de calme absolu, miroir sombre reflétant le ciel changeant, tandis que plus loin, le grondement discret des Chutes de la Plage rappelle la force vive de ce territoire gaspésien. La vie à Saint-Edgar se déploie dans la simplicité des gestes quotidiens, portée par une mémoire qui honore le travail de la terre et la proximité des forêts. Le vent qui descend des hauteurs apporte avec lui une fraîcheur singulière, imprégnant l'air d'une odeur de terre humide et de résineux, typique de cette nature exigeante mais généreuse. Ici, l'histoire ne se raconte pas dans les livres, mais se perçoit dans le silence des clairières et le murmure constant de la rivière, offrant à ceux qui s'y attardent une forme de paix presque oubliée. Saint-Edgar conserve ainsi, sous la voûte immense des soirs d'été, une dignité farouche et intemporelle.
