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-Homards.
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-Homards is a hamlet in Port-Cartier; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Baie-des-Homards is located at 49.8328°N, 67.1114°W.
Baie-des-Homards rests as a quiet threshold where the dark, restless waters of the St. Lawrence meet the rugged, northern edge of the land. It lies 26.7 km south-west of Port-Cartier, QC (from Port-Cartier, QC: bearing 219°T), and is situated 22.9 km south-south-west of Tour-Bois-Blanc. The terrain here is defined by the sharp, imposing presence of the Mornes des Caouis, which watch over the shoreline as the light shifts from the pale, bruised violet of dawn to a sharp, crystalline clarity. Inland, the landscape holds the stillness of Lac de la Plaine des Atocas, located just two kilometers away, where the water mirrors the sky with a mirror-glass precision that seems to suspend the world in a momentary, breathless pause. The Rivière Riverin flows six kilometers distant, drawing a thin, silver line through the dense forest, carrying the cool, moss-scented breath of the interior toward the salt-sprayed coast. The character of Baie-des-Homards is held in the sturdy, weathered resilience of those who have long looked to the sea and the forest to sustain their lives. Within the broader region of Port-Cartier and Sept-Rivières, the local economy draws its strength from the raw, elemental resources of the Canadian Shield, balancing the rigorous demands of industrial work with a deep, inherited knowledge of the shifting tides. Life in Baie-des-Homards follows the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons, where the arrival of heavy winter snows demands a quiet, indoor intensity, eventually giving way to the thaw that awakens the rocky soil. The people maintain a steady gaze, reflecting the vastness of the horizon, finding a particular, grounded grace in the harsh beauty of a landscape that asks for nothing but respect.
Baie-des-Homards s'étire le long des rives impérieuses du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière déclinante du crépuscule confère aux eaux une texture d'étain poli. À proximité des Mornes des Caouis, le relief accuse une rudesse minérale que seule adoucit la présence proche du Lac de la Plaine des Atocas, dont les eaux calmes semblent retenir les derniers murmures du jour. Non loin, la Rivière Riverin poursuit sa course obstinée vers l'estuaire, rythmant de son débit discret la vie de ce rivage où l'industrie du bois et les activités maritimes ont façonné, depuis des générations, une existence tournée vers la rudesse du climat septentrional. La rigueur du paysage, marquée par la rencontre entre la terre ferme et l'immensité saline, impose un silence presque solennel que rompt parfois le ressac régulier contre les rochers. Baie-des-Homards demeure le domaine des vents salins et des horizons vastes, un espace où la persévérance humaine se mesure chaque jour à la force des éléments naturels. Cette terre, façonnée par les cycles de la forêt et de la mer, offre à qui sait observer une beauté austère, presque immobile, sous un ciel immense dont la clarté changeante redessine sans cesse les contours des Mornes des Caouis.
