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 Kaiatauehikau.
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.

Kaiatauehikau is a locality in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kaiatauehikau is located at 50.2369°N, 60.8592°W.
Kaiatauehikau rests at the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the salt-heavy breath of the sea. It lies 120.4 km west-south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 245°T), and is situated 13.2 km west-north-west of La Romaine. The terrain surrounding Kaiatauehikau is defined by the stark presence of the Crête Barren, a stretch of exposed earth that catches the low, angular light of the northern sun. Nearby, the Rivière Washicoutai carves its path through the bedrock, its cold, dark currents pulsing toward the coast with an ancient, insistent gravity. Only two kilometers away, the quiet surface of Lac Salé mirrors the shifting grey of the sky, offering a stillness that contrasts with the restless movement of the nearby tides. In these reaches, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that clarifies the horizon, making the distance feel both infinite and intimately close. The life of Kaiatauehikau remains shaped by the demands of a landscape that does not yield easily to human habit. Generations have looked to the Rivière Washicoutai and the adjacent waters for their sustenance, maintaining a connection to the cycles of the coast that persists despite the changing seasons. The local economy finds its footing in the traditional harvesting of the land and water, a pursuit that requires a keen understanding of the shifting ice and the seasonal migration of marine life. Even as the modern world presses inward, the character of Kaiatauehikau is found in the quiet endurance of those who work the shoreline, finding beauty in the austere, wind-swept stretches where the forest thins and the granite rises to meet the sky.
Kaiatauehikau se déploie avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salé sculpte les roches et impose son rythme aux journées. À proximité immédiate de la Crête Barren, le relief affirme une rudesse nécessaire, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Washicoutai glissent vers l'horizon avec une constance qui rappelle la persévérance des familles établies sur ces terres côtières. Le Lac Salé, situé à peine à deux kilomètres, apporte une nuance de calme dans cet environnement où la lumière du crépuscule s’étire, teintant les granites de nuances cuivrées. Dans le quotidien de Kaiatauehikau, le travail se mesure à la force des marées et à la récolte des ressources que le golfe offre avec parcimonie. L’existence ici se bâtit sur une connaissance intime du terrain, une familiarité ancienne avec le froid et les caprices du large. Les habitants entretiennent une relation directe avec ce paysage austère, trouvant dans la solitude des rivages une forme de noblesse simple. Chaque geste répété, chaque regard porté vers les eaux, confirme la présence indélébile de Kaiatauehikau face à l’immensité, loin des agitations du monde, là où le ciel et la terre se rencontrent dans une clarté presque tranchante.
