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-Joseph-des-Monts.
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-Joseph-des-Monts is a locality in Mont-Albert; La Haute-Gaspésie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saint-Joseph-des-Monts is located at 49.0300°N, 66.4714°W.
Saint-Joseph-des-Monts rests in the shadow of the Mont Bellevue, where the rugged terrain rises to meet a sky that often turns the color of hammered silver at dusk. It lies 17.4 km east-south-east of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 115°T), and is situated 11.2 km south of Sainte-Anne-des-Monts. The Rivière Sainte-Anne carves a cold, persistent path through the valley, its movement providing a constant, low-frequency pulse that defines the local atmosphere. Beyond the immediate banks, the land holds the quiet weight of the northern woods, with Lac des Bois Secs lying hidden only 2 km away, reflecting the stillness of the surrounding timber. While Parc national de la Gaspésie sits 17 km distant, the wilderness here feels immediate and vast, pressing against the edges of the settlement with an indifference that commands respect. The air carries a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of every stone and branch, lending a heightened intensity to the brief, brilliant light of the afternoon. The history of Saint-Joseph-des-Monts reflects the resilience required to thrive within the folds of La Haute-Gaspésie, where the economy has long drawn sustenance from the land and the endurance of its people. Life here follows the necessities of the seasons, demanding a practical focus on forestry and the careful management of the natural resources that define the region. Generations have moved through these valleys with a steady, deliberate pace, their daily existence shaped by the demanding requirements of the climate and the physical demands of the Mont-Albert terrain. The character of the inhabitants is marked by a quiet, self-reliant independence, a quality forged in the long intervals between the arrival of travelers. Even as modern demands reach into these remote reaches, the fundamental nature of the life here remains anchored to the earth, a steady presence amidst the shifting shadows of the high country.
Saint-Joseph-des-Monts s’étire avec une humilité tenace sous l’ombre bienveillante du Mont Bellevue, là où la lumière décline en teintes d’ocre sur les pentes abruptes. Le murmure constant de la Rivière Sainte-Anne façonne le rythme des jours, charriant un souffle frais qui imprègne les habitations et les terres défrichées par les premières familles venues chercher subsistance dans ce relief exigeant. À quelques enjambées vers le nord, le Lac des Bois Secs miroite sous un ciel pur, offrant un repos immobile face à l’immensité sauvage qui s’étend vers le Parc national de la Gaspésie. Les travailleurs de la terre et du bois, habitués à la rigueur des hivers, entretiennent une fierté silencieuse, héritée d’une ténacité qui refuse de plier devant la rudesse du climat. Saint-Joseph-des-Monts demeure une halte où le temps semble se mesurer au mouvement des ombres sur les versants. Les traditions demeurent simples, portées par une fraternité qui se transmet autour des âtres, tandis que l’horizon, dominé par les sommets lointains, rappelle à chacun la force brute de la géographie environnante. Ici, l’existence se déploie sans artifice, entre la pierre des montagnes et la clarté vive des eaux courantes, perpétuant un mode de vie profondément lié à la terre nourricière.
