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 Sainte-Irène.
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.

Sainte-Irène is a parish municipality in Sainte-Irène; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Sainte-Irène is located at 48.4357°N, 67.5954°W.
Sainte-Irène rests within a rugged, high-reaching expanse where the earth rises toward the prominence of the Cap Pioui. It lies 12.3 km west-south-west of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 256°T), and is situated 15.9 km south-south-east of Sayabec. The air here holds a crisp, northern clarity, carrying the scent of damp earth and cooling stone as the day wanes. Only a kilometer away, the quiet stillness of Petit lac Simard mirrors the shifting hues of the sky, offering a solitary counterpoint to the more distant, insistent rush of the Rivière Humqui located nine kilometers from the village center. Beyond the immediate clearings, the vast, forested expanse of the Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia stretches twenty-eight kilometers out, anchoring the horizon in a deep, verdant silence that defines the local perspective. In the fading light, the shadows lengthen across the uneven terrain, turning the hillsides into dark, velvet folds that seem to exhale the heat of the passing afternoon. Sainte-Irène draws its character from a history rooted in the stubborn, slow-won cultivation of the land and the steady labor of those who navigated its challenging topography. The economy of Sainte-Irène continues to mirror the traditional demands of the region, leaning on the quiet persistence of forestry and agriculture that have sustained families for generations. Life here moves with a deliberate weight, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the frost, which demands a certain hardiness from every inhabitant. While the modern world presses in from the edges, the daily existence in Sainte-Irène retains a focus on the immediate tasks at hand, whether it is the maintenance of the homestead or the seasonal work in the surrounding woods. There is a profound beauty in this focus, a sense that the residents are keeping a long-held promise to the landscape, acknowledging the quiet strength of the ground beneath their boots.
Sainte-Irène s’éveille sous une lumière oblique, celle qui glisse sur les pentes douces de la Matapédia pour révéler la rigueur et la patience de ses terres cultivées. Le paysage s’organise autour d’une intimité silencieuse, marquée par la présence proche du Petit lac Simard, dont les eaux immobiles recueillent les premières lueurs du jour. À quelques lieues de là, la Rivière Humqui poursuit son tracé constant, imposant un rythme régulier à ce relief où l’agriculture et l’exploitation forestière ont façonné, par un labeur acharné, l’identité des familles qui s’y sont installées. Au-delà des limites immédiates, la Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia étire son immensité sauvage, rappelant que la nature sauvage dicte ici les conditions de la vie quotidienne. Près du Cap Pioui, les vents apportent une fraîcheur qui rappelle la rudesse des hivers et la brièveté des étés, forgeant un caractère tenace chez les habitants. Sainte-Irène demeure ce point fixe dans la vallée, une halte où le travail de la terre se confond avec l’horizon, loin des agitations du monde, offrant à qui sait observer la beauté dépouillée d’un territoire qui ne demande rien d’autre que le respect de ses silences et la persévérance de ses occupants.
