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 Fer-à-Cheval.
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 Fer-à-Cheval is a locality in Godbout; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Fer-à-Cheval is located at 49.3983°N, 67.5686°W.
Le Fer-à-Cheval clings to the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the reach of the tide meets the ancient, unyielding stone of the North Shore. It lies 19.5 km west of Baie-Trinité, QC (from Baie-Trinité, QC: bearing 262°T), and is situated 9.4 km north-north-east of Godbout. The terrain rises sharply from the salt-sprayed bank toward the Mornes de Godbout, creating a verticality that forces the wind to climb before it can pass. Inland, the landscape softens into a dense boreal stillness, marked by the presence of Lac Vaillancourt, which sits tucked into the granite folds just two kilometers away. The air here holds a particular, sharp clarity, especially as the evening light catches the dark needles of the spruce and turns the surface of the nearby Rivière Godbout into a ribbon of hammered silver. The history of Le Fer-à-Cheval is bound to the currents of the great river and the persistent labor required to navigate the wilderness of Manicouagan. Life maintains a lean, focused character, shaped by a local economy that has long looked toward the water and the deep timberlands for sustenance. While the distant roar of Chutes aux Mack serves as a constant, low-frequency reminder of the region’s kinetic power, the daily life of the inhabitants stays centered on the quiet, methodical tasks of the season. Traditions remain deeply personal and grounded in the immediate surroundings, where the transition of the light across the Mornes de Godbout dictates the pace of the day more surely than any clock.
Le Fer-à-Cheval s'étire avec une ténacité silencieuse le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent marin vient heurter les escarpements de roches sombres près des Mornes de Godbout. Ce secteur, marqué par une rudesse minérale qui défie la douceur des plaines, impose une rigueur singulière à ceux qui habitent ses abords, façonnant une existence rythmée par la marée et la patience. À deux kilomètres à peine, le Lac Vaillancourt offre une halte paisible dans ce relief accidenté, tandis que la Rivière Godbout serpente à six kilomètres de distance, drainant les terres sauvages vers l'immensité saline. Plus loin, à une vingtaine de kilomètres, les Chutes aux Mack ponctuent le silence des bois d'une rumeur persistante, rappelant la puissance indomptable de l'eau sur le granit. La lumière du crépuscule, particulière à cette latitude, dépose sur les crêtes une teinte cuivrée, révélant la texture brute du terrain que Le Fer-à-Cheval occupe avec une humilité millénaire. Les traditions locales, héritières d'une vie tournée vers le fleuve, se perpétuent dans la discrétion des foyers où le bois de chauffage crépite contre le froid persistant. Ici, la nature ne se contemple pas comme un décor, elle se subit et s'apprivoise dans le geste quotidien de la survie et du labeur.
