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 Kegaska.
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.

Kegaska is a village in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kegaska is located at 50.1836°N, 61.2725°W.
Kegaska rests along the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the grey, shifting salt water and the persistent breath of the north. It lies 149.6 km west-south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 248°T), and is situated 5.7 km east of Foreman's River. The horizon near the Crête Barren holds a quiet tension, as if the earth is holding its breath against the coming tide, while the Rivière de l'Anse Muddy carves a slow, dark path toward the sea. Inland, the terrain turns toward the stillness of Lac Desruisseaux, a body of water that mirrors the vast, pale light of the subarctic sky. At dusk, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that makes every rock and stunted spruce appear as if it were carved from cold iron. Generations in Kegaska have learned to read the moods of the coast, finding their sustenance in the rhythms of the fishery and the seasonal migration of the catch. The history of the region is written in the salt-crusted wood of the docks and the steady, practical focus of those who navigate the coastal waters, regardless of the season. Life here moves with the necessity of the elements, prioritizing the repair of nets and the preparation of boats over the noise of the outside world. Even when the winter ice seals the shore, the people of Kegaska maintain a profound connection to the water, a silent understanding that the sea provides both their livelihood and the boundaries of their world.
Kegaska s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de céder à l’immensité maritime. Le paysage se déploie dans une nudité austère, dominé par la proximité de la Crête Barren qui impose sa silhouette minérale au-dessus des eaux froides. Sur les rives de la Rivière de l’Anse Muddy, l’activité humaine se concentre avec une ténacité silencieuse, héritière d’une longue tradition de pêche qui façonne encore l’identité des lieux. À une douzaine de kilomètres, le Lac Desruisseaux demeure un secret immobile, niché dans une géographie de rocs et de lichen où la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde, teintant le granit de nuances cuivrées. Kegaska vit au rythme des marées et des vents qui balaient la côte, imposant une patience nécessaire à ceux qui habitent ce rivage isolé. Les maisons, posées sur le sol rocailleux, semblent attendre le retour des embarcations dans le calme de cette baie ouverte. La rigueur du climat insuffle à la vie quotidienne une simplicité dépouillée, loin des agitations continentales, laissant place à la présence constante de l’eau et au murmure des courants qui défilent sans fin devant le village.

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.
Location data for Kegaska is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
