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-des-Bacon.
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-des-Bacon is a hamlet in Longue-Rive; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Baie-des-Bacon is located at 48.5208°N, 69.2764°W.
Baie-des-Bacon rests where the cold, salt-heavy breath of the St. Lawrence meets the insistent pull of the Rivière du Sault au Mouton. It lies 28.3 km south-south-west of Forestville, QC (from Forestville, QC: bearing 211°T), and is situated 2.8 km south-west of Sault-au-Mouton. The tides here dictate the temper of the shoreline, turning the mudflats into mirrors that catch the bruised purples and golds of a northern dusk. Inland, the terrain rises into rugged, forested slopes where the air sharpens with the scent of spruce and damp granite. Lac du Deux Milles hides in the quiet folds of the landscape just a short distance away, its surface often glass-still beneath the shifting coastal clouds. Further off, the persistent rush of Chutes Philias marks the wilder interior, a reminder of the water’s power to carve through the ancient, resistant stone of the region. Life in Baie-des-Bacon has long been measured by the seasonal migrations of the river and the sea, anchoring the local identity to the harsh but rewarding demands of the Haute-Côte-Nord. Historically, the extraction of timber and the harvest of the river formed the backbone of the economy, fostering a spirit of self-reliance that persists in the way houses are built to face the wind and the woodpiles are stacked high before the first frost. The daily routine follows the light, with the community observing the quiet transition from the morning fog to the clear, stinging brilliance of midday. Even as modern industry evolves, the cultural heritage of Baie-des-Bacon stays rooted in this exchange between the forest and the tide, maintaining a character as resilient and unyielding as the bedrock itself.
Baie-des-Bacon s'étire avec une langueur mélancolique le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin se charge du sel des marées et du murmure constant de la Rivière du Sault au Mouton. Le paysage se déploie dans une nudité austère, sculpté par une lumière déclinante qui transforme les eaux sombres en un miroir d'argent poli lors des crépuscules prolongés de la Haute-Côte-Nord. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac du Deux Milles retient le silence des terres intérieures, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Philias ponctue la quiétude de ce territoire où le roc affleure sous une végétation résiliente. La vie à Baie-des-Bacon suit le rythme impérieux des courants et des vents, une existence façonnée par la proximité immédiate de l'estuaire, où les boisés bordant la Rivière du Sault au Mouton rappellent les occupations anciennes et les labeurs passés des bâtisseurs. Ici, chaque rafale porte le souvenir des navigations oubliées et la persistance d'une ruralité côtière qui refuse de se laisser effacer par l'immensité du fleuve. La terre, rude et généreuse, offre un refuge entre l'agitation des flots et la solitude des forêts environnantes, maintenant dans son équilibre précaire une identité forgée par la patience et l'observation constante de l'horizon.
