(Local Name: Gaspésie) The Gaspé Peninsula (250 km (155 mi.) long and 100-140 km (62-87 mi.) across), on the Gulf of St Lawrence, is more or less cut off from the rest of Québec Province by Lake Matapédia and the Matapédia River. Inland, Gaspésie is a mountainous, wooded wilderness, and the only sizeable settlement has grown up around the copper mine at Murdochville.
The highest point on the peninsula is Mont Jacques-Cartier (1268 m (5162 ft)), part of the Schickshock Mountains, geologically the northern terminal of the Appalachians.
The peninsula has a wild and rugged north coast, where the people live in small villages and depend partly on fishing for their livelihood.
