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 La Chaussée-de-Renards.
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.

La Chaussée-de-Renards is a locality in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Chaussée-de-Renards is located at 50.6014°N, 59.3725°W.
La Chaussée-de-Renards rests as a quiet outpost along the St. Lawrence, cradled by the rugged, indifferent reach of the Morne du Portage-d'Hiver. It lies 11.8 km south-south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 197°T), and is situated 13.6 km north-east of Harrington Harbour. The land here holds a sharp, elemental clarity, where the light at dusk bruises the horizon with deep violets and golds, reflecting off the nearby waters of Lac Salé. The terrain is defined by the heavy, ancient stone of the Morne du Portage-d'Hiver, which stands as a silent sentinel over the coastal fringe. Beyond the immediate rise of the hills, the Rivière du Petit Mécatina carves its path toward the sea, its presence felt in the damp, salt-heavy air that clings to the moss and lichen. Life in La Chaussée-de-Renards moves in alignment with the cold, bracing breath of the gulf, where the wind carries the scent of brine and the cooling memory of ice. Historically, the people who settled near the St. Lawrence have long looked to the water for their livelihood, turning their hands to the cycles of the tides and the seasonal bounty of the coast. The economy of La Chaussée-de-Renards remains bound to the raw, unyielding nature of the shoreline, where the work is dictated by the temperament of the sea rather than the clock. Winters here are long and profound, settling over the landscape with a stillness that demands patience and a deep, inward resilience from those who remain. Even now, the daily existence of the residents is marked by the shifting shadows of the Morne du Portage-d'Hiver, a reminder of the vast, untamed geography that surrounds this small, persistent foothold on the edge of the world.
La Chaussée-de-Renards s'étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Morne du Portage-d'Hiver sculpte une silhouette robuste contre le ciel boréal. Dans cette solitude sauvage, la lumière du crépuscule dépose une nappe de cuivre sur les eaux, révélant la patience des pierres et la rudesse du rivage. À trois kilomètres de distance, le Lac Salé demeure une étendue immobile, miroir sombre conservant le silence des terres intérieures, tandis que la Rivière du Petit Mécatina serpente à sept kilomètres, charriant les échos d'une nature indomptée vers l'immensité du large. La Chaussée-de-Renards semble respirer au rythme des marées, un équilibre fragile entre la puissance du fleuve et le relief escarpé qui protège les habitations. Ici, le vent salin façonne les habitudes et dicte une existence où chaque geste porte la marque d'une adaptation rigoureuse au climat. Les habitants observent le passage des saisons en scrutant l'horizon maritime, trouvant dans la constance du Morne du Portage-d'Hiver une forme de refuge contre les assauts de l'Atlantique. La géographie impose ses lois, et cette terre, par sa présence austère, offre une beauté dépouillée, faite de rocs, de brumes froides et de clartés éphémères qui transforment le paysage en une demeure éternelle.
