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 Kakatshu Etahit.
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.

Kakatshu Etahit is a locality in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kakatshu Etahit is located at 50.2186°N, 60.7356°W.
Kakatshu Etahit clings to the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, a land defined by the stark, unyielding presence of the Crête Barren. It lies 113.6 km west-south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 242°T), and is situated 4.2 km west of La Romaine. The terrain here holds a quiet intensity, where the air tastes of salt and the cold, clean breath of the northern tides. About seven kilometers away, the waters of the Rivière Washicoutai carve their path toward the sea, while nearby, the stillness of Lac Salé reflects the shifting gray light of a coastal sky. Kakatshu Etahit rests within this frame, its character forged by a landscape that demands resilience from everything it shelters. During the transition of dusk, the horizon loses its sharp edges, and the land settles into a muted, indigo silence that feels as old as the granite beneath the moss. The history of Kakatshu Etahit is found in the persistence of those who have long looked to the water for their livelihood, maintaining an economy that remains closely attuned to the cycles of the coast. Life here moves in accordance with the sea, reflecting a heritage defined by Indigenous presence and the practical knowledge of a challenging environment. People navigate their days with a steady focus, whether tending to the requirements of the shore or managing the resources provided by the surrounding wilderness. The presence of the Rivière Washicoutai and the proximity to the Crête Barren shape the boundaries of daily activity, ensuring that the inhabitants of Kakatshu Etahit always remain aware of the vast, indifferent power of the natural world surrounding them.
Kakatshu Etahit se déploie sur les rives austères du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble reculer devant la poussée froide des marées. Le regard porte loin sur l'étendue marine, tandis que dans le dos, la Crête Barren impose son relief dépouillé, sculpté par des vents qui ne connaissent ni trêve ni repos. À sept kilomètres de là, la Rivière Washicoutai charrie les eaux sombres des terres intérieures vers l'estuaire, rejoignant le silence minéral du Lac Salé situé à une distance équivalente. Dans ce dépouillement, Kakatshu Etahit puise une force singulière, façonnée par les métiers de la mer et l'endurance des gens qui habitent ces confins. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une clarté tranchante, révélant les aspérités d'un sol rocailleux où la végétation rase lutte pour sa survie. Les hommes et les femmes ici connaissent le rythme lent des vagues et la patience exigée par un environnement qui ne livre ses richesses qu'aux plus résolus. Entre l'immensité salée et la rudesse des terres hautes, Kakatshu Etahit demeure un nom qui résonne avec la ténacité de ceux qui ont choisi d'établir leur foyer aux portes du grand large, là où le ciel et l'eau finissent par se confondre dans une même grisaille profonde.
