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-René-de-Matane.
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-René-de-Matane is a municipality in Saint-René-de-Matane; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Saint-René-de-Matane is located at 48.7000°N, 67.3833°W.
Saint-René-de-Matane rests within the rugged folds of the landscape, defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Rivière Matane. It lies 19.2 km south-east of Matane, QC (from Matane, QC: bearing 146°T), and is situated 3.3 km south-east of Ruisseau-Gagnon. The air here holds a crisp clarity, particularly as the evening light catches the slopes of the Montagne à Beaupré, casting long, violet shadows across the valley floor. To the east, the stillness of Lac Towagodi sits tucked away just five kilometers from the heart of the settlement, offering a quiet contrast to the moving waters nearby. While the vast expanse of the Réserve faunique de Matane lies thirty-four kilometers away, the wild influence of that high terrain seems to drift down into the valley, grounding Saint-René-de-Matane in a geography that demands respect and endurance. Life in Saint-René-de-Matane relies on a deep familiarity with the timber and the soil, reflecting an economy built upon the resources provided by the surrounding woodlands. Generations have worked these slopes, finding a balance between the demands of industry and the quiet persistence of the wilderness. The local character is shaped by this connection to the land, where the changing seasons dictate the pace of work and the habits of daily life. Even as the modern world shifts, Saint-René-de-Matane keeps a steady focus on the essentials, maintaining a quiet dignity that mirrors the strength of the mountains standing watch over the riverbanks.
Saint-René-de-Matane s’étire avec une humilité tranquille là où les terres s'inclinent doucement vers les eaux vives de la Rivière Matane. À proximité, le relief s'élève vers la Montagne à Beaupré, offrant une silhouette familière qui veille sur le labeur des jours et la lenteur des crépuscules. L'air y possède une limpidité particulière, celle qui précède les grandes tempêtes ou les matins d'une clarté absolue, tandis que le Lac Towagodi, niché à quelques encablures, conserve dans ses reflets la mémoire des bois environnants. L'existence à Saint-René-de-Matane se mesure au rythme des travaux forestiers et agricoles qui ont façonné le caractère résolu de ses habitants, cultivant une relation intime avec un sol généreux mais exigeant. En s'éloignant vers les terres plus sauvages, la Réserve faunique de Matane rappelle la présence constante d'une nature indomptée qui encercle les foyers. Ici, la lumière d'automne semble s'attarder plus longuement sur les champs, transformant les façades en surfaces dorées avant que l'ombre ne gagne la vallée. Les passants y croisent une quiétude rare, faite de silences partagés et d'un attachement profond aux cycles de la terre, loin de l'agitation des grands centres, dans une simplicité qui demeure la signature de ce paysage matanien.
