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 Wakeham.
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.

Wakeham is a hamlet in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Wakeham is located at 48.8294°N, 64.5669°W.
Wakeham rests where the land leans toward the salt-heavy breath of the St. Lawrence, cradled by the quiet persistence of the Rivière York. It lies 6.7 km west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 275°T), and is situated 15.1 km west-north-west of Douglastown. The water here holds a slate-grey clarity, reflecting the shadows of Le Sugar Loaf as they lengthen across the valley floor during the long, gold-spun hours of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate reach of the riverbanks, Lac Fromenteau mirrors the sky in a stillness that feels ancient and undisturbed, while the rugged boundaries of Forillon National Park of Canada stand guard just eighteen kilometers away. The air carries a sharp, clean edge, smelling of damp earth and coming weather, grounding the life of Wakeham in a landscape that demands attention to the seasons. The history of Wakeham remains tied to the movement of water and the stubborn resolve of those who settled along the river’s edge to carve a living from the timber and the tide. Life here follows the pull of the current and the cycle of the tides, with a local economy that has long looked to the natural resources of the Gaspé for its sustenance. Residents move with a deliberate grace, familiar with the way the morning mist clings to the Rivière York before burning off to reveal the steep, forested slopes. In the quiet corners of the day, there is a profound sense of continuity, where the work of the past informs the modest, steady pace of the present, ensuring that Wakeham retains its character amidst the vast, enduring reach of the coast.
Wakeham s’étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la langueur des terres intérieures. À proximité du Sugar Loaf, le relief impose sa présence massive, sculptant une silhouette familière qui veille sur les habitations dispersées le long de la rivière York. Cette eau, artère nourricière, dicte depuis longtemps le rythme des jours, charriant les souvenirs d’une industrie forestière qui a façonné le destin des familles pionnières. À seulement quatre kilomètres, le lac Fromenteau offre une halte de silence sous les frondaisons, tandis que la rigueur majestueuse du parc national Forillon du Canada se dessine à dix-huit kilomètres, marquant l’horizon de sa stature sauvage. La lumière du crépuscule, déclinant sur les pentes, nimbe Wakeham d’une teinte cuivrée qui semble suspendre le mouvement du monde. Les résidents y cultivent une existence sobre, héritière des traditions agricoles et des savoir-faire légués par ceux qui ont défriché ces sols rocailleux. Rien ici ne crie, tout se murmure dans le bruissement des arbres et le flux incessant du courant, créant une atmosphère où la rudesse du climat gaspésien s'adoucit devant la pérennité du paysage. En ce lieu, la géographie dicte chaque geste quotidien, transformant la simple occupation de l'espace en une forme de fidélité silencieuse envers la terre.
