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 Fond-de-la-Baie.
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.

Fond-de-la-Baie is a locality in Blanc-Sablon; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Fond-de-la-Baie is located at 51.5058°N, 57.2428°W.
Fond-de-la-Baie rests upon the rugged, wind-scoured edges of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises sharply toward the Montagne à Boissé. It lies 10.6 km north-north-west of Blanc-Sablon, QC (from Blanc-Sablon, QC: bearing 338°T), and is situated 10.9 km north-north-west of Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon. The Rivière Brador carves a persistent path through the terrain, its waters carrying the cold clarity of the north toward the salt-heavy air of the coast. Lac Carré sits tucked away in the quiet interior, a mere two kilometers from the shoreline, mirroring the vast, pale sky that dominates the horizon. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, turning the rock and scrub into deep silhouettes that hold the day’s chill long after the sun retreats. To the east, the expanse toward Pinware River Provincial Park stretches out in a wild, road-bound procession of spruce and stone, framing the isolation that defines this corner of the world. The character of Fond-de-la-Baie draws its strength from a long history of maritime survival, where the economy has turned toward the sea for generations. Life in Fond-de-la-Baie moves in alignment with the seasonal shifts of the ice and the tides, demanding a sturdy patience from those who call the coast home. The local traditions remain rooted in the practical knowledge of the water, a quiet expertise passed down through families who understand the temper of the St. Lawrence. As the wind hums against the eaves of the houses, the residents maintain a steady, purposeful pace, finding a distinct beauty in the stark, unadorned resilience required to thrive where the mountains meet the sea.
Fond-de-la-Baie s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief accidenté de la Montagne à Boissé semble guetter l’horizon marin. Le regard, porté par les vents salés, remonte le cours de la Rivière Brador dont les eaux sombres serpentent vers le large, façonnant un terrain où la pierre et le lichen dominent les humeurs du ciel. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac Carré conserve un silence immobile, miroir sombre niché dans une topographie austère que seul le cri des oiseaux côtiers vient parfois troubler. La présence de la Rivière Brador impose son rythme à Fond-de-la-Baie, rappelant aux hommes la rigueur nécessaire pour habiter ce rivage exposé aux caprices du Golfe. Les habitations, tournées vers l’eau, composent une ligne de résistance face à l’immensité, tandis qu’à une quarantaine de kilomètres, le parc provincial Pinware River marque une limite sauvage dans cette contrée de rocs et de brumes. Chaque jour, le crépuscule dépose sur les crêtes une lumière cuivrée qui adoucit les arêtes vives du paysage, révélant la beauté brute d’une terre qui ne concède rien à la facilité. Ici, la vie se mesure à l’aune des marées et de la patience, dans une solitude préservée que les éléments sculptent avec une lenteur implacable.
