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-Mathieu-de-Rioux.
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-Mathieu-de-Rioux is a municipality in Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux; Les Basques, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux is located at 48.1841°N, 68.9846°W.
Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux rests with a quiet weight upon the land, poised between the vast, cooling presence of the St. Lawrence and the inland pull of the Rivière du Sud-Ouest. It lies 15.6 km east-north-east of Trois-Pistoles, QC (from Trois-Pistoles, QC: bearing 65°T), and is situated 15.0 km south-west of Saint-Fabien. Petit lac Saint-Mathieu mirrors the sky at the heart of the village, its surface frequently disturbed by the passing of a breeze that carries the scent of salt and damp earth. Near the La Batoche, the terrain shifts, revealing the subtle contours that define the local topography. While Parc national du Bic lies 24 km away, the horizon at Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux feels complete unto itself, framed by the long, slanted light of the north that turns the pasture grasses into pale gold before the dusk settles. The life of Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux remains anchored in the traditions of the land, where agricultural cycles and the reach of the forest dictate the slow turn of the seasons. Families have cultivated these fields for generations, balancing the demands of a rural economy with the steady, predictable ebb of daily work. The presence of the water, from the nearby Rivière du Sud-Ouest to the intimate shores of Petit lac Saint-Mathieu, provides a constant, low-frequency hum that grounds the inhabitants in their surroundings. Even as the modern world shifts, the people here maintain a clear-eyed focus on the essential, finding a particular grace in the way the morning frost clings to the fence lines before the sun fully claims the valley.
Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux déploie ses terres fertiles le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air salin rencontre la quiétude des campagnes québécoises. Le regard se pose naturellement sur le Petit lac Saint-Mathieu, dont les eaux immobiles semblent conserver le secret des premières colonisations agricoles. À proximité, le cours de la Rivière du Sud-Ouest serpente à travers un relief vallonné, modelant un paysage que les habitants ont patiemment domestiqué par un labeur tourné vers la terre et les horizons marins. Non loin de La Batoche, le climat rigoureux forge une identité résiliente, marquée par la rigueur des hivers qui transforment le panorama en une étendue de silence pur. Si le Parc national du Bic se dresse à vingt-quatre kilomètres, offrant ses promontoires sauvages à la contemplation, Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux conserve sa propre allure, faite de modestie et de constance. La lumière déclinante du crépuscule baigne les champs d'une clarté mélancolique, soulignant la patience des hommes qui, depuis des générations, cultivent ces espaces ouverts aux vents du large. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des marées et des récoltes, tandis que Saint-Mathieu-de-Rioux demeure une présence familière, un nom porté par le vent qui souffle du fleuve vers les profondeurs du Bas-Saint-Laurent.
