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 Canton-Arnaud.
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.

Canton-Arnaud is a hamlet in Sept-Îles; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Canton-Arnaud is located at 50.2481°N, 66.5006°W.
Canton-Arnaud holds a rugged, northern posture along the edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the cold reach of the tide. It lies 9.3 km west-north-west of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 298°T), and is situated 11.8 km east-north-east of Barrage-Sainte-Marguerite. The current of the Rivière des Rapides pushes toward the sea, carving through a terrain marked by the looming presence of the Les Jambons. In the quiet hours of dusk, the light turns a bruised violet, catching the salt spray and clinging to the granite outcrops that define the perimeter of Canton-Arnaud. Only four kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Jimmy offers a dark, reflective counterpoint to the restless motion of the river. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of spruce and brine, a bracing clarity that settles over the landscape as the shadows lengthen across the uneven ground. Industry and the weight of regional labor have long anchored the character of Sept-Rivières, shaping the way people move through the day. The proximity to the St. Lawrence has historically dictated the movement of goods and the development of local enterprise, grounding the inhabitants in a cycle of maritime and terrestrial work. Life in Canton-Arnaud follows the demands of the seasons, where the transition from the biting grip of winter to the sudden, explosive green of the short summer dictates the pace of existence. Even now, the echoes of heavy machinery and the steady hum of commerce reflect a deep-seated commitment to the extraction and transport of resources. Beneath the surface of this daily toil, there persists a quiet resilience, a recognition that the land provides both the means of survival and the boundaries of the horizon.
Canton-Arnaud se déploie avec une sérénité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin vient lécher les terres froides de Sept-Rivières. Dans ce secteur marqué par la présence des Jambons, le paysage s'étire dans une lumière oblique qui semble suspendre le monde à l'heure où les ombres s'allongent sur la Rivière des Rapides. L'eau y coule avec une obstination sourde, façonnant un relief où la rudesse du terrain rencontre l'immensité du fleuve. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac Jimmy repose dans un silence de pierre, offrant une profondeur sombre à ceux qui cherchent la solitude des terres intérieures. L'activité humaine, ici, se plie aux exigences d'un environnement puissant, où le travail industriel a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours. Canton-Arnaud porte en lui cette rigueur propre aux zones côtières, une identité forgée par le climat vif et la proximité immédiate des éléments. La vie y suit une cadence lente, rythmée par le mouvement des marées et le courant permanent de la Rivière des Rapides, rappelant sans cesse à ses habitants l'ampleur du territoire qu'ils occupent. Chaque soir, la clarté déclinante révèle la texture rugueuse des rives, transformant le quotidien en une observation silencieuse de la géographie sauvage qui entoure chaque demeure.
