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 Baie-Johan-Beetz.
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.

Baie-Johan-Beetz is a municipality in Baie-Johan-Beetz; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Baie-Johan-Beetz is located at 50.2893°N, 62.8037°W.
Baie-Johan-Beetz rests where the granite of the Le Gros Morne meets the cold, salt-heavy breath of the St. Lawrence. It lies 56.6 km east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 85°T), and is situated 2.8 km south-south-east of Les Briques. The Rivière Piashti carves its way through the bedrock to meet the sea, its dark currents mirrored perfectly in the stillness of Lac à Théodore nearby. Here, the light of dusk clings to the jagged shoreline, turning the stone a bruised, violet hue that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped beneath the horizon. Toward the east, the Chutes de la Grande Baie provide a constant, low-frequency pulse, a reminder of the water’s relentless movement toward the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada. The history of Baie-Johan-Beetz persists in the weathered wood of its buildings, which stand as defiant anchors against the northern winds. Long before the modern era, the landscape sustained those who moved with the seasons, and today the local economy remains shaped by the surrounding waters and the austere demands of the coast. Life here proceeds with a deliberate focus, the residents attuned to the shifts in tide and the sudden, sharp clarity of the air. Even as the seasons turn the landscape from the green of summer to the stark white of winter, the people maintain a deep familiarity with the rock and the river, finding a singular beauty in the isolation that defines the edge of the world.
Baie-Johan-Beetz s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la pierre ancienne du Gros Morne semble vouloir retenir les eaux salées dans un dialogue silencieux. La lumière du soir glisse sur la Rivière Piashti, dont le courant accompagne le mouvement lent des barques, tandis que le Lac à Théodore demeure immobile, miroir sombre niché dans la roche brute. À quelques lieues, le fracas des Chutes de la Grande Baie rappelle la force brute d’une nature qui ne se laisse jamais domestiquer, imposant sa cadence aux habitants qui connaissent le poids de l’hiver et la douceur brève des étés. Au-delà des horizons familiers, la silhouette lointaine de la Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada dessine une frontière mystérieuse entre la terre et l'immensité marine. Chaque maison de Baie-Johan-Beetz, avec ses fondations posées sur ce sol rocailleux, raconte l’opiniâtreté des pionniers venus chercher une existence dans ce paysage austère. Ici, le vent salin imprègne les gestes quotidiens et les mémoires, transformant chaque lever de soleil en une recommencement nécessaire pour ceux qui habitent ce rivage tourné vers le large. La rudesse du terrain se marie à une sérénité profonde, offrant à quiconque s'y attarde le sentiment d'avoir atteint une limite du monde où seule compte la vérité des éléments.
