This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grand-Ruisseau, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Grand-Ruisseau.
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.

Grand-Ruisseau is a hamlet in Port-Cartier; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Grand-Ruisseau is located at 49.7342°N, 67.1739°W.
Grand-Ruisseau clings to the rugged hem of the St. Lawrence, where the pulse of the tide meets the persistent, cold rush of the Rivière Pentecôte. It lies 35.9 km north-north-east of Baie-Trinité, QC (from Baie-Trinité, QC: bearing 15°T), and is situated 11.8 km south-south-west of Baie-des-Homards. The land rises toward the Mornes des Caouis, a stark silhouette against the northern sky that dictates the movement of the wind and the slant of the light as evening falls. Just three kilometers inland, the stillness of Lac à Pichon offers a sharp contrast to the restless currents of the coast, its surface often mirroring the heavy, slate-colored clouds that drift over the Port-Cartier region. In Grand-Ruisseau, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity, tasting faintly of salt and the damp earth of the surrounding boreal woods. Life in Grand-Ruisseau turns on the seasonal shifts of the waterways, which have long dictated the movement of goods and the endurance of those who call this coast home. The local economy finds its footing in the quiet labor of the forest and the sea, sustained by the steady flow of the Rivière Pentecôte that once drove the machinery of early industry. Here, the passage of a day is marked by the shifting shadows cast by the Mornes des Caouis and the inevitable return of the tide to the shore. Traditions remain anchored to the cycles of the water, and the residents move with a deliberate purpose, shaped by a landscape that demands both respect and resilience.
Grand-Ruisseau s’étire le long des rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme dans une lumière délavée par le nord. Les eaux sombres de la Rivière Pentecôte serpentent vers l’estuaire, charriant dans leur sillage le souvenir des forêts denses et le silence minéral qui définit cette portion de la Côte-Nord. Non loin de là, les reliefs de Mornes des Caouis imposent une géographie austère, une ligne de crête qui semble contenir l’immensité du ciel. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac à Pichon demeure une poche d’eau immobile, miroir sombre niché dans le relief accidenté. Grand-Ruisseau porte en lui la rudesse des métiers liés à l’exploitation du bois et de la mer, une existence tournée vers les caprices d’un horizon qui ne promet rien mais offre tout à celui qui sait observer. Le vent y sculpte le paysage avec une précision patiente, balayant les roches et les rivages d’une clarté crépusculaire qui transforme chaque point de repère en une silhouette familière. La vie s’y déploie sans artifice, rythmée par le flux des marées et la persistance d’une géographie où chaque déplacement exige une attention particulière, une connaissance intime du terrain.

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.
