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 De Grasse.
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.

De Grasse is a hamlet in Sept-Îles; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. De Grasse is located at 50.2178°N, 66.2144°W.
De Grasse sits firmly against the cold, salt-heavy expanse of the St. Lawrence, where the horizon dissolves into the grey weight of the northern sky. It lies 12.2 km east of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 86°T), and is situated 12.0 km west-south-west of Coude-de-la-Rivière-Moisie. The terrain here holds a rugged, granitic stillness, broken only by the persistent, rhythmic pulse of the tides that scrub the shoreline clean. Inland, the landscape retreats into dense, dark stretches of spruce and pine, punctuated by the quiet, mirrored surface of Lac Shakaikaniss just 3 km away. As dusk descends, the light turns a bruised violet, catching the froth of the waves and revealing the raw, unpolished edges of a coast that feels carved by the wind itself. The presence of the Rivière Moisie, flowing roughly 6 km from the settlement, marks the deep history of this region as a corridor for travel and survival. De Grasse operates within the broader context of Sept-Rivières, where the pace of life remains beholden to the extraction and transit industries that have long defined the North Shore. Further inland, the protected wild of the Réserve écologique de la Matamec, situated 28 km away, preserves a fragile, untouched interior that contrasts with the industrial reach of the coast. People here move with a deliberate focus, their days calibrated to the transit of iron and the shifting moods of the water, maintaining a grounded connection to a land that demands constant, quiet attention.
De Grasse s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, où l'air chargé d'embruns dépose une fraîcheur saline sur le sol granitique et les forêts de conifères. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière Moisie poursuit sa course impétueuse vers le large, tandis que les eaux plus calmes du Lac Shakaikaniss reflètent une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le monde dans une clarté argentée. À une distance plus marquée, la Réserve écologique de la Matamec protège un sanctuaire naturel où la terre sauvage conserve toute sa rigueur originelle. Le quotidien à De Grasse s'ordonne suivant le rythme des marées et le souffle des vents dominants, une existence façonnée par la proximité immédiate de l'immensité maritime et la rudesse protectrice du bouclier canadien. Les habitations se groupent avec une simplicité nécessaire, tournées vers cet horizon bleu qui a dicté, depuis les premiers établissements, les axes de développement et les habitudes des résidents. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas sans effort, demandant à chaque visiteur d'apprivoiser la densité de la forêt boréale et la profondeur des eaux froides. La persistance de cette nature sauvage demeure la compagne constante de ceux qui habitent ces terres, rappelant à chaque crépuscule que la vie humaine s'inscrit modestement dans un cadre géographique d'une force austère et souveraine.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
