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-Simon-sur-Mer.
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-Simon-sur-Mer is a resort area in Saint-Simon-de-Rimouski; Les Basques, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Saint-Simon-sur-Mer is located at 48.2200°N, 69.0586°W.
Saint-Simon-sur-Mer holds a quiet vigil along the edge of the St. Lawrence, where the tides pull steadily against the rocky shore near the Îlet au Flacon. It lies 13.6 km north-east of Trois-Pistoles, QC (from Trois-Pistoles, QC: bearing 39°T), and is situated 29.7 km east-south-east of Les Escoumins. The land here tilts toward the salt water, defined by a crisp, northern light that turns the surface of the estuary into a sheet of hammered silver during the late hours of the afternoon. While the Rivière du Sud-Ouest traces its path through the nearby terrain and Lac Fournier rests in the distance, the horizon remains dominated by the vast, shifting expanse of the river. Inland, the terrain holds a rugged austerity, reaching toward the distant silhouette of Parc national du Bic, which marks the edge of the regional wilderness. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of brine and cold stone, a reminder of the raw exposure that defines this coastal stretch of Les Basques. The history of Saint-Simon-sur-Mer reflects a long association with the land and the river, where the cycles of agriculture and seasonal harvest have long dictated the pace of life. Local families have maintained a presence here for generations, working the soil and turning toward the water for sustenance and trade, grounding their daily existence in the practical demands of the climate. The character of the people is as resilient as the shoreline, shaped by a culture that values self-reliance and a deliberate, observant way of moving through the seasons. Even as modern life brushes against the edges of the village, the quiet endurance of the maritime landscape provides a constant anchor for those who call Saint-Simon-sur-Mer their home.
Saint-Simon-sur-Mer déploie ses rives sur le flanc du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin se charge d'une salinité ancienne qui imprègne les grèves. À proximité de l'Îlet au Flacon, le paysage s'étire avec une patience minérale, offrant aux résidents une perspective constante sur les marées qui rythment le quotidien. La Rivière du Sud-Ouest serpente à environ 7 km, marquant le relief de son tracé discret, tandis que le Lac Fournier, situé à environ 6 km, apaise le regard par ses eaux calmes et sombres. Vers l'est, le Parc national du Bic s'élève à environ 25 km, dessinant une silhouette familière à l'horizon. L'économie locale puise sa force dans une agriculture tenace et un lien indéfectible avec la terre, héritage des familles qui ont su lire les caprices du sol et des vents du large. À Saint-Simon-sur-Mer, le crépuscule apporte une lumière particulière, dorée et longue, qui semble suspendre le temps sur les champs et les battures. Les traditions persistent dans la simplicité des gestes et la transmission orale, rappelant que la vie ici se mesure à l'échelle des éléments naturels, sans artifice, dans une solitude partagée où chaque changement de saison renouvelle le dialogue entre l'homme et l'estuaire.
