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-Octave.
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-Octave is a post office in Saint-Octave-de-Métis; La Mitis, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saint-Octave is located at 48.6019°N, 68.0811°W.
Saint-Octave rests upon the rising ground where the broad St. Lawrence meets the firm, cooling influence of the coastal air. It lies 8.2 km east-north-east of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 77°T), and is situated 12.5 km south-west of Métis-sur-Mer. The Rivière Mitis carves a persistent path through the terrain, its currents mirroring the grey-blue light that settles over the Montagne des Caron as the sun retreats. To the south, the stillness of Lac Bourgouin, situated just two kilometers away, offers a quiet counterpoint to the movement of the river. In Saint-Octave, the soil and the season dictate the measure of the day, with the land holding a stubborn, enduring quality that defines the character of those who live here. The history of Saint-Octave draws its strength from the land, where agriculture and the rhythms of the seasons have long dictated the local economy. Hard-won harvests and the maintenance of the fields define the labor of the people, who move with a focused intent beneath the expansive sky of La Mitis. Traditions here are kept close, grounded in the practicalities of a life lived near the water and the rising slopes. The presence of the Montagne des Caron frames the horizon, acting as a constant landmark for the residents who navigate the changing weather and the seasonal transition of the Rivière Mitis. Through the turning of the year, Saint-Octave maintains a clear, honest sense of self, indifferent to the noise of the wider world.
Saint-Octave se déploie avec une humilité souveraine sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s’égare sur l’immensité maritime avant de revenir vers la terre ferme. Le relief s’élève doucement vers la Montagne des Caron, offrant un abri naturel aux terres labourées qui portent encore les traces d’un labeur agricole transmis de génération en génération. La Rivière Mitis serpente à travers ce territoire, ses eaux vives rythmant le quotidien de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence à l’ombre des grands horizons. À deux kilomètres à peine, le Lac Bourgouin miroite sous la lumière changeante du crépuscule, ajoutant une note de sérénité argentée à ce cadre où la rudesse du climat forge des tempéraments solides. L’air y est vif, chargé de l’embrun du fleuve et du parfum des terres humides, invitant à une contemplation silencieuse. Saint-Octave conserve une identité singulière, façonnée par les cycles de la nature et une ténacité héritée des premiers défricheurs. La vie s’y déroule sans artifice, portée par le va-et-vient des marées et la présence rassurante des hauteurs environnantes, consolidant une existence simple qui puise sa force dans la fidélité aux paysages qui la définissent.
