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-Sainte-Catherine.
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-Sainte-Catherine is a municipality in Baie-Sainte-Catherine; Charlevoix-Est, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Baie-Sainte-Catherine is located at 48.1035°N, 69.7263°W.
Baie-Sainte-Catherine rests where the land bows toward the vast, salt-heavy expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 5.2 km south of Tadoussac, QC (from Tadoussac, QC: bearing 188°T), and is situated 10.3 km east-north-east of Secteur Jamay. The terrain rises sharply into the Colline de l'Anse à l'Eau, a sentinel height that keeps watch over the confluence of the currents below. Here, the Rivière aux Canards carves a persistent path through the granite, its waters cool and dark as they hasten toward the estuary. Sunlight catches the crests of the river waves at dusk, turning the surface into a shifting plate of hammered silver, while the air carries a crisp, oceanic bite that sharpens the senses. Inland, the wilder reaches hold the quiet presence of Lac Tintin, tucked away where the dense forest canopy muffles the sound of the wind. Life in Baie-Sainte-Catherine has long been defined by the proximity of the deep water, which dictates the pulse of the seasons and the movement of the tides. The local economy finds its footing in the maritime heritage that has sustained families for generations, turning the gaze of the people toward the horizon and the seasonal passage of whales. Buildings cling to the slopes with a stubborn grace, their silhouettes softened by the persistent mist that drifts off the river. Even as the modern world presses in, the residents maintain a quiet, deliberate way of living, observing the slow transformation of the landscape as winter ice gives way to the sudden, bright green of the northern spring.
Baie-Sainte-Catherine s'étire avec une noblesse austère le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le fleuve impose sa force tranquille et ses courants profonds. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur la Colline de l'Anse à l'Eau, révélant une topographie accidentée qui semble retenir le souffle des vents marins. À proximité, les eaux calmes de la Rivière aux Canards serpentent dans un silence minéral, tandis que le Lac Tintin, tapi à quelques encablures, observe le passage des heures dans un recueillement presque séculaire. L'existence à Baie-Sainte-Catherine se règle sur le mouvement des marées et la rudesse bienveillante d'un climat qui façonne les tempéraments autant que les paysages. Les familles, héritières d'une tradition liée à l'exploitation des ressources et à la navigation, maintiennent un lien étroit avec cet horizon infini où le ciel et l'eau se confondent dans une grisaille lumineuse. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble porter le souvenir des premières installations, une persévérance silencieuse face à l'immensité. La vie quotidienne, rythmée par les caprices de la météo et la patience des saisons, conserve une authenticité rare, loin des agitations urbaines, dans ce repli géographique où la nature dicte sa loi avec une élégance souveraine et indifférente.
