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-Fabien-sur-Mer.
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-Fabien-sur-Mer is a administrative sector in Saint-Fabien; Rimouski-Neigette, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer is located at 48.3169°N, 68.8664°W.
Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer rests along the edge of the St. Lawrence, where the salt air meets the quiet pulse of the Rivière du Sud-Ouest. It lies 31.3 km north-east of Trois-Pistoles, QC (from Trois-Pistoles, QC: bearing 47°T), and is situated 2.6 km north of Saint-Fabien. The light at dusk settles heavy and silver over the Îlet au Flacon, casting long, sharp shadows across the shore that seem to hold the day’s heat in the cooling stones. Beyond the immediate reach of the tide, the land rises toward the interior, where the stillness of Lac à Crapauds waits only two kilometers inland. A short distance further, the rugged, protective expanse of Parc national du Bic defines the horizon, grounding Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer in a landscape defined by the collision of rock and water. The terrain here feels deliberate, shaped by the weight of the tides and the patient endurance of the coastal shelf. Life in Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer draws its character from the seasonal shift of the river and the steady work of those who know how to read the currents. Historically, the inhabitants have looked toward the water for their livelihood, balancing the demands of the coast with the persistence required to maintain a home in this particular corner of the Rimouski-Neigette region. The local economy persists through a quiet dedication to the land and the sea, resisting the frantic pace found elsewhere in favor of a measured, tactile existence. Evenings often carry the scent of damp earth and brine, a reminder that Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer remains a small, sturdy outpost watching the great river flow toward the sea.
Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient mourir contre le relief accidenté de l’Îlet au Flacon. Dans ce secteur de la Rivière du Sud-Ouest, le vent salin imprègne les terres agricoles et les demeures qui observent le passage des marées avec une patience héritée des anciens colons. À quelques kilomètres seulement, le silence du Lac à Crapauds contraste avec la puissance tellurique du Parc national du Bic, dont les caps abrupts dominent l’horizon vers l’est. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, découpant les silhouettes des arbres et des rochers dans une clarté presque minérale qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. Saint-Fabien-sur-Mer perpétue une existence rythmée par la rudesse climatique et la proximité immédiate de l’estuaire, où chaque habitant connaît la couleur de l’eau selon l’humeur du ciel. Ici, la terre et le fleuve composent une alliance singulière, façonnant un quotidien tourné vers la rudesse du travail de la terre et la contemplation des étendues marines. Les sentiers qui serpentent vers le Parc national du Bic rappellent sans cesse la fragilité de cette installation humaine face à l’immensité sauvage qui borde le rivage.
