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 Havre-Saint-Nicolas.
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.

Havre-Saint-Nicolas is a resort area in Franquelin; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Havre-Saint-Nicolas is located at 49.3078°N, 67.7817°W.
Havre-Saint-Nicolas rests upon the rugged, salt-sprayed edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the persistent pull of the tide near the Plaine de la Tour. It lies 28.4 km east-north-east of Baie-Comeau, QC (from Baie-Comeau, QC: bearing 70°T), and is situated 8.1 km east-north-east of Franquelin. The cold, clear current of the Rivière Saint-Nicolas carves its path toward the sea, while the nearby Lac Derosby holds the sky in a mirror of dark, still water. A mile or so inland, the air grows heavy with the scent of spruce needles and damp granite, a silence that is broken only by the distant, rhythmic thunder of the Chutes à Thompson. When the light of late afternoon slants low against the coastline, the grey rock faces take on a bruised, metallic violet hue, casting long shadows that seem to anchor Havre-Saint-Nicolas to the very bones of the earth. Life in Havre-Saint-Nicolas mirrors the seasonal shifts of the northern coast, where the economy has long drawn its vitality from the bounty of the river and the reach of the forest. Generations have navigated the transition from maritime trade to the modern demands of local industry, maintaining a stoic resilience that matches the harsh, beautiful terrain of Franquelin. The people here move with a deliberate purpose, their traditions shaped by the proximity of the wilderness and the demands of a life lived close to the water’s edge. As the frost begins to settle over the banks of the Rivière Saint-Nicolas, the quiet industry of the residents continues, marked by the steady, enduring pulse of a settlement that understands its place amidst the vast, unyielding geography of the Manicouagan region.
Havre-Saint-Nicolas s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large vient polir la rudesse du relief. À proximité de la Plaine de la Tour, le paysage s’organise selon une cadence lente, dictée par les courants et la présence constante de la Rivière Saint-Nicolas qui déverse ses eaux sombres vers l’estuaire. La lumière déclinante y accroche des reflets d’argent sur les pierres, révélant la texture tourmentée d’un sol façonné par les éléments. À peine à un kilomètre, le Lac Derosby dort dans un silence presque irréel, tandis que, plus loin, le grondement sourd des Chutes à Thompson rappelle la force indomptée des eaux qui parcourent ce territoire. Havre-Saint-Nicolas habite ce domaine avec une patience silencieuse, ses habitants observant le flux des marées et le mouvement des glaces. Les activités humaines, humbles et nécessaires, s’ajustent aux exigences du climat, respectant la rigueur d’une nature qui impose ses propres limites. Chaque battement de ce littoral, entre la puissance du fleuve et la quiétude des terres intérieures, compose une existence où le temps semble se suspendre, laissant place à la seule vérité des vents et de l’horizon sans fin.
