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 York Centre.
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.

York Centre is a hamlet in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. York Centre is located at 48.8131°N, 64.5031°W.
York Centre rests as a quiet hinge between the heavy, salt-edged air of the St. Lawrence and the inland pull of the hills. It lies 2.3 km west-south-west of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 237°T), and is situated 10.0 km west-north-west of Douglastown. The land here holds the stillness of the north, where the light at dusk turns the Rivière York into a ribbon of hammered silver, reflecting the steep, shadowed flank of the Le Sugar Loaf. Nearby, the landscape remains watchful and wild; Lac Fromenteau hides in the spruce-darkened folds of the terrain only 6 km away, while the rugged, windswept capes of Forillon National Park of Canada stand guard just 15 km to the east. The air carries a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the spruce needles and the grey stones lining the riverbanks. Life in York Centre moves with the gravity of the water, drawing its character from the proximity of the river and the sea. Generations have looked toward the Rivière York for sustenance, balancing the demands of a changing economy with the persistent, cooling influence of the coastal climate. The residents maintain a sturdy, practical connection to the land, their days punctuated by the rising and falling of the tides that dictate the pulse of activity along the shore. Even as modern life asserts itself, the presence of the surrounding heights and the constant, low-frequency hum of the river ensure that York Centre retains a sense of seclusion, anchored firmly in the geography of the peninsula.
York Centre s'étire avec une humilité singulière sur les rives de la rivière York, là où l'eau douce cherche à se perdre dans l'immensité du Saint-Laurent. Le regard se tourne immanquablement vers le Sugar Loaf, dont la masse imposante veille sur les habitations dispersées dans cette vallée façonnée par les glaces et le labeur des générations. À quelques kilomètres, le lac Fromenteau repose dans un silence minéral, tandis que les limites du parc national Forillon du Canada, à peine plus loin, soulignent la rudesse magnifique de ce relief gaspésien. La lumière du soir y possède une épaisseur particulière, une clarté presque liquide qui caresse les champs autrefois cultivés et les restes d'une industrie forestière ayant marqué le destin de ceux qui ont choisi d'habiter ce sol. York Centre conserve une âme façonnée par la proximité de la mer et des forêts, une persistance qui se lit dans le mouvement des marées remontant le cours de la rivière. Ici, les traditions se transmettent avec la discrétion du vent marin, et la vie quotidienne s'accorde au rythme des éléments naturels, loin des agitations du monde, dans une quiétude qui semble suspendue entre la terre ferme et l'horizon infini du large.
