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 Cap-de-Rabast.
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.

Cap-de-Rabast is a locality in L'Île-d'Anticosti; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Cap-de-Rabast is located at 49.9514°N, 64.1500°W.
Cap-de-Rabast stands as a rugged sentinel upon the northern reaches of L'Île-d'Anticosti, where the land meets the vast, grey expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 51.2 km south-west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 231°T), and is situated 20.6 km north-east of Port-Menier. The terrain here is shaped by the presence of the nearby Colline Makasti, which rises with a quiet, weathered stoicism above the surrounding scrub and limestone barrens. Inland, the landscape finds a different stillness at Lac Huit, a body of water resting six kilometers away in the dense, boreal quietude. When the light shifts toward dusk, the air carries a sharp, saline clarity, turning the jagged coastline into a silhouette of deep blues and charcoal shadows that seem to hold the weight of the island’s isolation. The history of Cap-de-Rabast reflects the solitary nature of the Minganie region, where the persistence of the sea and the forest has long defined the character of those who venture here. While the Rivière Gamache flows some nineteen kilometers distant, its presence is felt in the way the local ecosystem draws sustenance from the island’s intricate drainage. Life in Cap-de-Rabast moves in accordance with the seasonal migrations and the demands of a geography that resists easy development, favoring the slow, deliberate work of those who harvest the resources of the land and water. The silence here is never truly empty; it is a resonant, watchful presence that reminds any visitor of the immense, untamed scale of the wilderness that encompasses the entire island.
Cap-de-Rabast s’étire le long des rives impétueuses du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte le calcaire et rappelle aux hommes la rudesse d’une terre insulaire. À proximité, la silhouette de la Colline Makasti domine l’horizon, veillant sur ce littoral marqué par l’âpreté des éléments et le silence minéral. Le paysage est façonné par des présences d’eau discrètes, notamment le Lac Huit qui repose à six kilomètres de distance, tandis que le cours de la Rivière Gamache serpente à dix-neuf kilomètres pour rejoindre les profondeurs marines. La lumière du crépuscule dépose une teinte nacrée sur ces étendues, révélant la texture brute du relief et la solitude magnifique qui habite Cap-de-Rabast. Ici, l’air chargé d’embruns porte le souvenir des navigations anciennes et le labeur de ceux qui ont apprivoisé cette côte sauvage. La vie s’y déploie sans artifice, rythmée par la marée qui monte et redescend, effaçant les traces sur le sable avant que le jour ne se lève à nouveau. Cette portion de l’Île-d'Anticosti, en Minganie, préserve une identité farouche, loin des agitations du continent, où chaque rocher semble raconter une histoire de patience et de résistance face à l’immensité bleue qui s’étend sans fin.
