This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grosse-Île-Nord, 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 Grosse-Île-Nord.
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.

Grosse-Île-Nord is a hamlet in Grosse-Île; Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Grosse-Île-Nord is located at 47.6281°N, 61.5250°W.
Grosse-Île-Nord emerges from the salt-heavy air of the St. Lawrence, defined by the rugged rise of the La Rock Mountain. It lies 38.2 km north-east of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC (from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC: bearing 43°T), and is situated 37.2 km north-east of Cap-aux-Meules. The light here catches the edges of the terrain at dusk, turning the exposed stone to a bruised violet as the tide pulls against the shoreline. Eight kilometers to the north, the protected expanse of the Réserve nationale de faune de la pointe de l'Est shelters the shifting dunes, while the quiet basin of Lac à Nini rests at a similar distance, holding the sky in its dark, still surface. In this coastal climate, the horizon feels immense and unyielding, pressing against the low-slung architecture of the land. Life in Grosse-Île-Nord moves according to the demands of the water and the seasonal shift of the winds that scour the island. The local economy relies on the sea, where those who work the currents draw their living from the cold, deep channels that surround the island. Traditions here are kept by those who navigate the unpredictable temperament of the St. Lawrence, finding a steady purpose in the daily labor of the harvest. Grosse-Île-Nord maintains a stoic character, shaped by the persistent presence of the spray and the long, clear stretches of winter that quiet the ground beneath the frost.
Grosse-Île-Nord s'étire avec une ténacité silencieuse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte le relief du La Rock Mountain dans une lumière d'ambre qui semble ne jamais vouloir s'éteindre. L'air y possède cette densité saline propre aux terres isolées, une fraîcheur vive qui imprègne les maisons et les champs, rappelant aux habitants la rudesse nécessaire à leur subsistance. À huit kilomètres de distance, les eaux calmes du Lac à Nini se dissimulent derrière les ondulations du terrain, tandis que la Réserve nationale de faune de la pointe de l'Est étend ses étendues sauvages vers l'horizon, offrant un refuge aux oiseaux migrateurs dans ce décor de grès et d'embruns. L'existence à Grosse-Île-Nord se mesure au rythme des marées et à la solidité des structures bravant l'humidité constante, héritage d'une ténacité acadienne qui a su faire germer la vie sur ce sol exigeant. Chaque sentier menant vers le littoral révèle une géologie tourmentée, façonnée par les glaces anciennes et le ressac incessant du fleuve. La communauté maintient une relation directe avec ces éléments, cultivant une simplicité qui se lit dans la droiture des clôtures et le regard clair des hommes tournés vers l'immensité bleutée, là où la terre finit par s'effacer devant le large.

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.
