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 Étamamiou.
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.

Étamamiou is a hamlet in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Étamamiou is located at 50.2681°N, 59.9701°W.
Étamamiou rests along the edge of the St. Lawrence, where the rugged coast meets the persistent pull of the tide. It lies 66.6 km south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 224°T), and is situated 14.1 km south-west of Pointe-à-Maurier. The land here is defined by the steady flow of the Rivière Étamamiou, a waterway that cuts through the terrain toward the sea, shadowed by the rising presence of the Colline Conspicuous. Just a short distance inland, the quiet surface of Lac Volant mirrors the shifting northern sky, its stillness offering a sharp contrast to the restless movement of the coast. When the light fades at dusk, a thin, silver clarity settles over the rocks and scrub, turning the landscape into a study of muted greys and deep, cooling blues. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of salt and stone, a sensory reminder of the proximity to the water that dictates the movement of all things in this corner of the world. Daily life in Étamamiou follows the seasonal shifts of the St. Lawrence, where the local economy has long relied on the bounty of the water and the resilience required to inhabit such a remote coastline. The presence of the Rivière Étamamiou serves as a persistent artery for the locality, grounding the routines of those who navigate its banks and the nearby reaches of the land. Traditions here are quiet and practical, shaped by the practical necessity of reading the wind and the currents to survive the long, demanding winters. As the fog rolls in from the gulf to brush against the Colline Conspicuous, the persistent sounds of the water provide a constant, low-frequency hum that defines the character of the day, marking the passage of time against the backdrop of an enduring and ancient geology.
Étamamiou s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rivages sculptés par les eaux du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin vient caresser la terre rude de la Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent. Dominant cette étendue sauvage, la Colline Conspicuous offre une vigie naturelle au-dessus des habitations, tandis que les eaux sombres de la Rivière Étamamiou serpentent vers l'horizon dans un mouvement lent et immuable. À peine distant d'un kilomètre, le Lac Volant ajoute sa surface tranquille à ce paysage dépouillé, captant les derniers éclats d'un soleil couchant qui teinte le roc de reflets cuivrés. Étamamiou puise sa force dans cette proximité avec l'immensité maritime, façonnant une existence tournée vers les caprices de la marée et la rigueur de l'air marin. Les habitants, héritiers d'une ténacité forgée par l'isolement, entretiennent un lien profond avec ces éléments qui dictent le rythme de chaque journée. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule semble suspendre le temps, révélant la texture brute du sol et la silhouette isolée des structures humaines qui défient les vents constants. Chaque geste quotidien se déploie dans ce cadre dépouillé, porté par le murmure des courants et le silence imposant de la nature environnante, faisant de Étamamiou une sentinelle solitaire face à la majesté du golfe.

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.
