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 la Bande-Marine.
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 la Bande-Marine is a administrative sector in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Secteur de la Bande-Marine is located at 48.5001°N, 64.1756°W.
The rugged edge of the St. Lawrence defines the character of Secteur de la Bande-Marine, where the land meets the cold, restless salt water near the craggy prominence of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 3.7 km south-east of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 136°T), and is situated 26.2 km east-north-east of Grande-Rivière. The air here holds a distinct sharpness, carrying the scent of brine and wet stone that clings to the shoreline as the light fades into a bruised, violet dusk. Only a short distance away, the protected reaches of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé stand as a sentinel over the tides, while the distant, hidden path of the Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils reminds one of the freshwater veins that feed the coastal basin. The terrain rises with a stubborn, rocky persistence, offering a vantage point that feels simultaneously exposed to the elements and deeply settled within the geological grandeur of the region. Life in Secteur de la Bande-Marine reflects the long-standing maritime heritage of the coast, where the economy has historically leaned into the shifting yields of the deep. Small vessels often navigate the choppy waters nearby, their silhouettes appearing as dark, rhythmic pulses against the horizon during the morning fog. Residents maintain a quiet connection to the sea, valuing a pace dictated by the tides rather than the clock, and the local traditions remain rooted in the seasonal cycles of fishing and the preservation of coastal life. Even as modern influences touch the edges of the shore, the profound stillness of the nearby Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé preserves a sense of wildness that keeps the human footprint modest and respectful of the surrounding cliffs.
Le Secteur de la Bande-Marine s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de s’abîmer dans les eaux froides, tout près de la silhouette imposante du Sugar Loaf. À une distance d’un kilomètre à peine, le Parc national de l’Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé dresse ses falaises protectrices, offrant un horizon où le ciel se confond avec la respiration marine. Non loin de là, la Rivière de l’Anse à Beaufils déploie son cours tranquille sur dix kilomètres, serpentant à travers un terrain façonné par les vents salins et la rudesse des hivers. L’identité du Secteur de la Bande-Marine puise sa force dans cette proximité constante avec l’immensité, une vie rythmée par le ressac et la lumière crue qui, au crépuscule, transforme les roches en formes mystérieuses. Les familles qui habitent ces parages portent en elles le poids d’une mémoire maritime, héritière des traditions de pêche et d’une patience apprise auprès de l’océan. Chaque jour, les résidents observent le ballet des oiseaux marins entre le rivage et les parois escarpées du parc, cultivant une existence modeste, tournée vers la mer, dans ce cadre naturel où chaque pierre raconte la permanence de la côte face aux éléments.
