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 Le 52-Milles.
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.

Le 52-Milles is a locality in L'Île-d'Anticosti; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le 52-Milles is located at 49.7369°N, 63.3125°W.
Le 52-Milles rests upon the rugged, wind-swept expanse of Anticosti Island, where the vast and restless St. Lawrence exerts a constant, salt-heavy influence upon the land. It lies 60.1 km south-south-east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 160°T), and is situated 23.5 km east-south-east of Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile. The air here holds a sharp, brine-crusted clarity, and as dusk settles, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet that clings to the limestone ridges. Inland, the terrain softens into dense thickets and hidden depressions, where the quiet stillness is occasionally broken by the distant, liquid rush of the Rivière du Castor some 8 km away. Nearby, the dark, reflective surface of Lac de l'Ours sits tucked into the island’s interior, roughly 3 km from the main thoroughfare, acting as a mirror for the low-hanging, shifting clouds. The history of Le 52-Milles reflects the singular, solitary nature of island life, where the survival of those who settled here depended on the unpredictable bounty of the sea and the forest. Today, the economy remains defined by the seasonal movements of the tides and the careful stewardship of the island’s wild resources, with the pace of existence dictated by the ferry schedules and the turning of the seasons. Residents move with a deliberate, measured focus, attending to the maintenance of gear and the gathering of supplies before the winter frost hardens the earth. There is a profound, stoic beauty in the way Le 52-Milles endures, standing firm against the northern gales while the island’s deep-rooted silence settles over the landscape like a heavy, protective shroud.
Le 52-Milles s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent salin sculpte le caractère des hommes et des choses. La lumière du crépuscule y dépose une teinte cuivrée, révélant la rudesse des terres que les générations ont dû apprivoiser avec une obstination silencieuse. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac de l'Ours demeure une présence immobile dans le paysage, offrant ses eaux sombres au ciel vaste qui semble descendre jusqu'au sol. Plus loin, le murmure discret de la Rivière du Castor accompagne le rythme des marées, rappelant aux habitants la permanence des cycles naturels malgré l'usure des années. Le 52-Milles conserve cette identité singulière, forgée par une proximité immédiate avec les éléments et une histoire liée aux ressources généreuses de la Minganie. La rudesse du climat ne décourage pas ceux qui habitent ces parages, mais elle impose une sobriété dans les gestes, une économie du langage qui se retrouve dans la droiture des constructions face à l'horizon. Ici, chaque soir apporte son lot de silences profonds, tandis que l'immensité du Saint-Laurent impose une humilité nécessaire à quiconque cherche à habiter ce territoire sauvage avec respect.

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.
