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 Les Briques.
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.

Les Briques is a locality in Baie-Johan-Beetz; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Les Briques is located at 50.3133°N, 62.8164°W.
Les Briques rests where the rugged edge of the continent meets the cold, rhythmic push of the St. Lawrence. It lies 56.0 km east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 82°T), and is situated 2.8 km north-north-west of Baie-Johan-Beetz. The landscape is defined by the Morne Carré du Lac, a terrain where the stone seems to hold the memory of the tide, and where Lac Salé sits perfectly still, a mirror to the vast northern sky. Nearby, the Rivière Piashti carves its passage toward the sea, its currents carrying the scent of salt and ancient granite. When the light of dusk descends, the shadows lengthen across the rock faces, turning the earth a deep, bruised violet that feels as permanent as the geology itself. Six kilometers away, the Chutes de la Grande Baie announce their presence with a low, persistent roar, a sound that lingers in the air like a held breath. Life in Les Briques moves in accordance with the sea and the seasons, a quiet existence rooted in the harvest of the northern waters. While the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada stands twenty-seven kilometers away as a guardian of the outer islands, the people here maintain a closer dialogue with the immediate coastline and the shifting moods of the river. The economy remains bound to the rhythms of the coast, reflecting a history of endurance where the primary industry has long looked toward the horizon for its sustenance. Residents here possess a keen awareness of the weather, reading the slate-grey clouds that roll off the St. Lawrence with the practiced eye of those who understand that the environment is both a provider and a formidable neighbor.
Les Briques se déploie avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Morne Carré du Lac semble retenir le souffle des marées. Le paysage s’organise autour de la Rivière Piashti, dont les eaux froides serpentent avec une persistance ancienne vers l’immensité maritime, façonnant une terre où la rudesse du climat se marie à la persévérance des hommes. À quelques encablures, le Lac Salé miroite sous les cieux changeants de la Minganie, offrant un miroir immobile face à l’agitation salée du large. Le regard porte loin vers les Chutes de la Grande Baie, dont le murmure sourd rappelle la force brute des éléments, tandis que la présence distante de la Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada souligne la solitude majestueuse de ce littoral. Les Briques conserve cette âme des lieux battus par les vents, où chaque pierre, chaque batture, raconte une histoire de résistance silencieuse. Les habitants y cultivent une existence rythmée par la lumière crue du crépuscule qui enflamme les roches et les grèves, une clarté particulière qui dénude le terrain pour en révéler la texture rugueuse et la beauté dépouillée. Ici, la mer et la terre ne se séparent jamais vraiment, elles s’apprivoisent dans une continuité faite de brumes et de patience.

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.
