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 Factory Point.
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.

Factory Point is a hamlet in Bonne-Espérance; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Factory Point is located at 51.4236°N, 57.6439°W.
Factory Point stands as a resilient sentinel where the rugged terrain of the Colline Red Head meets the expansive, cold reaches of the St. Lawrence. It lies 31.8 km west of Blanc-Sablon, QC (from Blanc-Sablon, QC: bearing 271°T), and is situated 7.0 km south-east of Bonne-Espérance. The air here carries a sharp, saline clarity, often catching the pale, low-angled light that defines the northern dusk as it settles over the rocky shoreline. Inland, the landscape is punctuated by the stillness of Lac Stormless, lying just two kilometers away, its dark surface mirroring the vast, open skies of the region. Further out, the Rivière Saint-Paul carves its way through the moss-covered granite about six kilometers from the coast, marking the slow, deliberate movement of water toward the sea. The terrain possesses a stark, unyielding beauty, defined by the ancient stone and the persistent, biting wind that keeps the vegetation stunted and close to the earth. Life in Factory Point has long been defined by the bounty and the volatility of the northern waters, with an economy traditionally shaped by the harvest of the sea. The heritage of those who first settled these shores remains visible in the utilitarian architecture of the docks and the weathered wooden frames of buildings that have endured generations of winter gales. While the modern day brings a quieter pace, the inhabitants maintain a deep, practical knowledge of the tides and the shifting ice, a necessity for survival in such a remote corridor. Factory Point retains a character forged in isolation, where the daily routine is dictated not by the clock, but by the maritime conditions that dictate whether the boats stay moored or venture out into the gray expanse.
Factory Point s'élève sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre de la Colline Red Head semble vouloir défier l'immensité saline par sa rudesse pierreuse. À quelques kilomètres, le murmure constant de la Rivière Saint-Paul accompagne le labeur des hommes qui, depuis des générations, scrutent l'horizon en quête des richesses marines. Les eaux apaisées du Lac Stormless, situé tout près, offrent un contraste de sérénité face à la houle capricieuse du large qui bat sans relâche la côte. Lorsque le crépuscule s'étire sur les rochers, une lumière d'ambre vient baigner Factory Point, révélant la persévérance de ceux qui habitent ces confins. Ici, le vent salé porte en lui le souvenir des activités de pêche et des installations industrielles d'autrefois, dont les vestiges racontent une économie tournée vers l'âpreté des éléments. Chaque maison, solidement campée sur ce sol granitique, semble attendre le retour des embarcations sous un ciel immense. La vie s'y organise selon les mouvements des marées, dans une simplicité dépouillée où l'attachement au territoire définit le quotidien des habitants, porteurs d'une mémoire façonnée par la proximité du fleuve et le calme des terres intérieures.
