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-Léon-le-Grand.
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-Léon-le-Grand is a parish municipality in Saint-Léon-le-Grand; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Léon-le-Grand is located at 48.3792°N, 67.5037°W.
Saint-Léon-le-Grand rests within the quiet embrace of the valley, defined by the persistent, cold slide of the Rivière Humqui. It lies 10.6 km south-south-west of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 209°T), and is situated 12.6 km west-south-west of Lac-au-Saumon. The light here catches the high slopes near the Cap Pioui with a startling clarity, turning the green hillsides into sharp, silent silhouettes against the evening sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the village, the landscape holds the still, reflective surface of Petit lac de la Montagne just two kilometers away, a small pocket of water that mirrors the changing moods of the clouds. The air carries a crisp, lingering dampness that clings to the skin, a reminder of the deep, forested wildness that gathers in the distance toward the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia. The history of Saint-Léon-le-Grand remains anchored to the rhythms of the earth and the steady labor required to clear and cultivate such rugged terrain. Agriculture and forestry have long provided the foundation for local life, with families turning the soil and managing the timber in a long, patient dialogue with the seasons. Daily existence moves with the deliberate pace of those who work the land, where the sound of the Rivière Humqui acts as a constant, low-frequency pulse beneath the chores of the day. Traditions here are kept close and quiet, centered on the endurance of the homestead and the shared knowledge of the woods, ensuring that the legacy of those who first settled this challenging ground is felt in every harvest and every quiet winter evening.
Saint-Léon-le-Grand déploie ses habitations sur les terres fertiles qui bordent la Rivière Humqui, là où le terrain s'élève doucement vers les hauteurs. Le regard se perd volontiers vers le Cap Pioui, dont la présence impose une verticalité familière à ceux qui observent le ciel changer de teinte à l'approche du soir. À peine à deux kilomètres de là, le calme du Petit lac de la Montagne offre une halte silencieuse, tandis que la Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia, située à une vingtaine de kilomètres, rappelle la proximité d'une nature sauvage et préservée. L'économie de Saint-Léon-le-Grand se nourrit de cette terre généreuse, une identité forgée par le labeur agricole et le respect des cycles naturels qui régissent la vie quotidienne de ses habitants. La lumière décline souvent en nuances de cuivre sur les champs, révélant la texture minérale du sol et la persistance d'un mode de vie sobre, attaché à la géographie singulière de cette vallée. Dans cet espace, chaque souffle d'air apporte l'humidité propre à la Rivière Humqui, liant les gestes des résidents à la permanence des éléments environnants, loin de l'agitation des grands centres.
