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-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine.
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-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine occupies a rugged stretch of the coast where the forest meets the vast, salt-heavy expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 33.5 km north-north-east of Murdochville, QC (from Murdochville, QC: bearing 25°T), and is situated 12.7 km west of Grande-Vallée. The air here holds a sharp, brine-washed clarity that clings to the skin, while the looming presence of the Montagne de la Citadelle provides a solid, stone-hewn backdrop to the village. Nearby, the Rivière Madeleine carves its way toward the sea, its currents carrying the cold, clear pulse of the highlands, and just two kilometers inland, the quiet surface of Lac de l'Épinette Rouge reflects the changing sky. At dusk, the light softens into a bruised purple, casting long, lean shadows that stretch across the uneven terrain and emphasize the solitude of the shoreline. The history of Sainte-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine rests upon the hard-won gains of those who looked to the water for their livelihood, establishing a life defined by the seasonal movements of the tides. Early industry focused on the timber harvested from the surrounding slopes and the steady harvest of the sea, creating a local economy that persists in its reliance on the natural rhythms of the Gaspé Peninsula. Residents move with a quiet purpose, their daily lives shaped by the necessity of adapting to the harsh winters and the bracing gales that sweep in from the St. Lawrence. This coastal endurance defines the character of the people, who maintain a grounded existence amidst the steep, forested hills and the persistent, rushing waters of the local river.
Sainte-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine se déploie avec une gravité tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient mourir contre une terre façonnée par l’âpreté des vents marins. À proximité immédiate, la silhouette imposante de la Montagne de la Citadelle domine le panorama, offrant une sentinelle de pierre aux habitants qui, depuis des générations, tournent leur regard vers l’horizon infini pour guider leurs barques. La Rivière Madeleine serpente à travers ce relief accidenté, scindant le paysage d’un ruban d’eau vive qui apporte au village une vitalité singulière. À seulement deux kilomètres de là, le Lac de l’Épinette Rouge repose dans un silence forestier, contrastant avec le tumulte salin des marées. L’histoire de Sainte-Madeleine-de-la-Rivière-Madeleine demeure intimement liée à ces eaux nourricières, dont l’exploitation a longtemps rythmé l’existence des familles établies sur ces côtes escarpées. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, étirant les ombres des falaises sur le rivage et conférant aux maisons une allure de refuge solitaire. Dans cet espace où le roc rencontre l’immensité maritime, la vie quotidienne s’ajuste avec une patience héritée des anciens, portée par une mémoire qui se transmet dans le souffle régulier de l’océan et la stabilité immuable de la terre ferme.
