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 Secteur-de-l'Hôpital.
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.

Secteur-de-l'Hôpital is a residential area in Amqui; La Matapédia, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Secteur-de-l'Hôpital is located at 48.4703°N, 67.4208°W.
Secteur-de-l'Hôpital occupies a quiet stretch of land defined by the deliberate, steady movement of the Rivière Humqui. It lies 1.3 km north-east of Amqui, QC (from Amqui, QC: bearing 46°T), and is situated 7.8 km north-west of Lac-au-Saumon. The terrain here rises with a modest grace toward the Cap Pioui, where the air holds a crisp, persistent clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the surrounding timber. Only a short distance away, the still surface of Lac Bossé reflects the shifting moods of the sky, acting as a mirror to the dense greenery that characterizes this portion of the valley. When the light leans long and golden across the slopes at dusk, the landscape possesses a singular, hushed intensity that settles over the earth like a cool breath. The presence of Secteur-de-l'Hôpital reflects a long-standing relationship with the surrounding natural resources, where the economy has traditionally looked to the timber and the fertile potential of the riverbanks. Daily life here maintains a connection to the cycles of the seasons, influenced by the proximity of the vast Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia, which stretches out to the horizon. Residents move through their day with a grounded awareness of the wilderness that frames their perspective, finding stability in the reliable current of the Rivière Humqui. The character of the locale persists in the quiet diligence of its people, who carry on their tasks beneath an expansive sky, mindful of the deep, enduring stillness that defines the heart of the valley.
Secteur-de-l'Hôpital s'étire avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives de la Rivière Humqui, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder sur les courbes du terrain pour mieux souligner la rigueur du sol québécois. Non loin de la masse imposante de Cap Pioui, les vents qui descendent des plateaux apportent une fraîcheur vive, rappelant la proximité de la Réserve faunique des Rivières-Matapédia-et-Patapédia dont l'influence sauvage imprègne chaque souffle de l'air ambiant. À moins d'un kilomètre, les eaux tranquilles du Lac Bossé dorment, conservant une immobilité qui contraste avec le courant constant et obstiné de la rivière. Dans ce paysage où la terre agricole dispute encore ses droits aux forêts denses, Secteur-de-l'Hôpital conserve une allure de repli, une solitude volontaire qui façonne le caractère de ses résidents. La vie s'y organise selon des rythmes hérités de la terre, loin des fracas urbains, dans une humilité partagée par ceux qui connaissent le poids de l'hiver et la brièveté des étés. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble posée avec précaution, respectant une géographie austère mais profondément familière, où l'horizon se referme sur des reliefs familiers, offrant une quiétude que seuls les connaisseurs de cette vallée savent apprécier.
