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 Eagle Head.
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.

Eagle Head is a locality in Blanc-Sablon; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Eagle Head is located at 51.5619°N, 57.2556°W.
Eagle Head rests upon the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the sea beneath the watchful shadow of the Collines de Brador. It lies 16.8 km north-north-west of Blanc-Sablon, QC (from Blanc-Sablon, QC: bearing 343°T), and is situated 6.3 km north of Fond-de-la-Baie. The Rivière Eagle Head carves a narrow, persistent path through the terrain, its waters cold and clear as they spill toward the salt air. Only a kilometer away, Lac Stove Pipe Gulch hides in the hollows of the hills, a quiet basin reflecting the transient, bruised light of the northern dusk. The air here holds a sharp, metallic clarity, tasting of brine and stone, while the terrain itself feels ancient and indifferent to the fleeting passage of the seasons. The history of Eagle Head reflects a survival defined by the harsh requirements of a coastal existence, where the economy has long drawn its strength from the cycles of the water. Families have looked to the horizon for generations, finding their livelihood in the bounty offered by the St. Lawrence and the resilience required to endure the long winters. While Pinware River Provincial Park sits thirty-nine kilometers distant as a reminder of the vast, protected wild, the daily life of Eagle Head stays focused on the immediate rhythm of the tide and the maintenance of a life lived close to the elements. There is a profound stillness in the way the local people move through their days, a quietude earned from working in a landscape that offers no easy comfort.
Eagle Head s'étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte le visage des hommes autant que la pierre. La lumière du crépuscule dépose une patine cuivrée sur le relief austère des Collines de Brador, tandis que le murmure constant de la Rivière Eagle Head accompagne la vie des habitants, héritiers d'une patience forgée par l'isolement et la rudesse des éléments. À peine à un kilomètre, les eaux sombres du Lac Stove Pipe Gulch semblent retenir le souffle du pays, offrant une quiétude sauvage loin du tumulte des mondes lointains. Plus loin, vers le sud, la présence du parc provincial Pinware River marque la limite d'un horizon où la terre et l'eau se confondent dans une solitude solennelle. Eagle Head conserve ainsi une identité farouche, marquée par l'économie des cycles maritimes et une mémoire transmise par le geste quotidien plutôt que par les livres. Ici, le ciel se fait bas, oppressant et magnifique, obligeant chaque âme à s'accorder au rythme lent des marées qui battent le rivage. Cette terre, dépouillée de tout superflu, se donne avec une sincérité brutale à ceux qui acceptent de vivre sous le regard immuable des collines et le souffle éternel du large.
