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 Îles-Sainte-Marie.
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 Îles-Sainte-Marie is a hamlet in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Les Îles-Sainte-Marie is located at 50.3006°N, 59.6589°W.
Les Îles-Sainte-Marie emerge from the cold, salt-stung waters of the gulf as a cluster of rugged, windswept outcrops defined by their stark isolation. It lies 50.6 km south-south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 208°T), and is situated 12.2 km east-south-east of Pointe-à-Maurier. The low, lichen-crusted granite of these islands stands in quiet contrast to the distant, rolling silhouettes of the Collines Darby, which guard the horizon like silent sentinels. Here, the light at dusk possesses a peculiar, metallic clarity, turning the surrounding sea into a sheet of hammered pewter that reflects the vast, indifferent sky. While the Rivière à la Croix flows through the mainland some eighteen kilometers away, its presence is felt only as a faint, distant memory in the heavy, moisture-laden air that clings to the coastal rock. The terrain itself is stripped of pretense, composed of jagged stone and hardy, stunted vegetation that survives by bending low against the prevailing northern gales. Life across Les Îles-Sainte-Marie turns upon the seasonal migration of marine resources and the persistent, bracing influence of the maritime climate. Generations have looked to the surrounding depths for their livelihood, finding in the harvesting of the sea a necessary discipline that dictates the daily movement of boats and the sorting of gear upon the docks. The local character is forged by this proximity to the elements, resulting in a culture that values endurance over excess and silence over idle chatter. Even as the modern world intrudes, the inhabitants maintain a particular focus on the tides and the shifting winds, observing the horizon with a steady, practiced attention. In the quiet hours of the morning, when the fog rolls in to obscure the divide between water and land, Les Îles-Sainte-Marie seem to drift, suspended in a solitude that remains entirely their own.
Les Îles-Sainte-Marie surgissent des eaux froides de la Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent comme une ponctuation rocheuse, défiant l'immensité saline par leur présence dépouillée. À proximité immédiate, le relief s'élève en un mouvement minéral vers les Collines Darby, dont les crêtes usées par les vents marins veillent sur ce littoral austère. La terre, ici, refuse l'abondance, privilégiant une rudesse où chaque roche semble avoir été polie par le ressac permanent et le passage des siècles. À quelque distance, la Rivière à la Croix trace un sillage paisible dans ce décor dépouillé, apportant une humeur plus douce à la rudesse du paysage côtier. Les pêcheurs, habitués à la lumière changeante qui irise les brumes matinales, connaissent le rythme des marées qui dicte le quotidien dans Les Îles-Sainte-Marie. Ce rapport au milieu naturel, fait de patience et de gestes répétés, forge une identité résiliente, tournée vers les horizons changeants du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent. Le silence y est dense, ponctué seulement par le cri des oiseaux marins et le souffle constant qui balaie les espaces ouverts, offrant aux rares visiteurs une sensation de solitude pure, presque minérale, où le ciel et la mer semblent se confondre dans une nuance de bleu infini.

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.
