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 Val-d'Espoir.
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.

Val-d'Espoir is a hamlet in Percé; Le Rocher-Percé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Val-d'Espoir is located at 48.5136°N, 64.4017°W.
Val-d'Espoir rests nestled within the rugged topography of the Gaspé Peninsula, where the land rises toward the distinctive elevation of Le Sugar Loaf. It lies 14.1 km west of Percé, QC (from Percé, QC: bearing 265°T), and is situated 14.4 km north-north-east of Grande-Rivière. The air here holds a sharp, brine-tinged clarity, carrying the scent of the nearby St. Lawrence as it pushes against the coast. To the inland side, the landscape settles into quiet pockets of forest and field, occasionally marked by the still, reflective surface of Lac à Lapierre, located about 6 km away. As dusk descends, the light catches the uneven horizon, casting long, bruised shadows that emphasize the solitude of the terrain, while the Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils winds its way through the lower reaches about 8 km from the center of Val-d'Espoir. Agriculture and the rhythms of the seasons have long defined the character of Val-d'Espoir, grounding the lives of its inhabitants in the stubborn productivity of the soil. While the distant, iconic presence of Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, situated about 18 km away, draws the gaze toward the sea, the local focus remains on the persistence of small-scale industry and the quiet maintenance of homesteads. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate consistency, favoring the permanence of stone and timber over the fleeting demands of the modern world. In the cool evenings, one might notice the way the community seems to draw inward, a practice born of winters that demand resilience and a deep, quiet respect for the geography that surrounds every hearth.
Val-d'Espoir s'étire avec une humilité tenace sur les terres hautes qui dominent les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle derrière la silhouette massive du Sugar Loaf. Les habitants reconnaissent ce sol par la patience exigée pour le cultiver, une terre qui a nourri des générations de familles s'enracinant entre le silence des forêts et l'appel salé du large. À environ huit kilomètres, la Rivière de l'Anse à Beaufils poursuit son cours vers la mer, tandis que les eaux tranquilles du Lac à Lapierre conservent le reflet des nuages dans une immobilité minérale. L'horizon, marqué par la proximité du Parc national de l'Île-Bonaventure-et-du-Rocher-Percé, impose sa présence grandiose, rappelant aux résidents la fragilité de leur position entre le roc et l'abîme. Val-d'Espoir demeure un espace de labeur et de mémoire, où les vents marins balaient les champs en friche et les granges aux toits vieillis par les hivers rigoureux. Chaque sentier porte la marque d'un quotidien rythmé par la rigueur du climat, une existence dépouillée de tout artifice où le souffle de l'air marin se mêle à l'odeur de la terre retournée, affirmant une identité forgée dans la persistance et la contemplation des éléments.
