This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Magpie, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Magpie.
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.

Magpie is a village in Rivière-Saint-Jean; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Magpie is located at 50.3103°N, 64.4936°W.
Magpie sits as a quiet sentinel along the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the persistent influence of the salt air and the shifting tides. It lies 64.1 km west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 277°T), and is situated 6.7 km east-north-east of Jupitagon. The horizon here is defined by the steep, imposing presence of Le Gros Morne, a landmark that anchors the gaze while the Rivière Béline carves its path toward the sea. Inland, the terrain holds a more secluded stillness, where Le Petit Lac rests in the cool, moss-softened hollows about 4 km away. When the light of dusk descends, it drains the color from the rocky shoreline, leaving behind a monochromatic clarity that makes the sound of the water against the stones seem unusually resonant and sharp. Life in Magpie reflects the hard-won resilience of those who have historically looked to the surrounding waters for sustenance and trade. The local economy has long been shaped by the challenges of this northern reach, where the inhabitants have adapted their routines to the seasonal temperaments of the coast. Within the Minganie region, Magpie maintains a character defined by its isolation and the stark beauty of its geography. The people move with a purposeful focus, their days punctuated by the cold, crisp clarity of the wind that sweeps down from the heights, reminding everyone of the vast, indifferent wild that waits just beyond the threshold of their doors.
Magpie s’étire le long des rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief s’accentue près du Gros Morne pour offrir une vigie singulière sur l’immensité maritime. Les eaux de la Rivière Béline serpentent entre les affleurements rocheux, apportant une fraîcheur constante à ce territoire de Minganie dont l’histoire puise sa force dans la persévérance des familles établies sur ces côtes sauvages. À quelques kilomètres dans l’arrière-pays, le Petit Lac demeure une étendue paisible, contrastant avec le tumulte des marées qui façonnent quotidiennement le littoral. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les rochers avec une douceur mélancolique, révélant la texture minérale du terrain et la rudesse sculptée par les vents du large. La vie à Magpie se règle sur ce mouvement perpétuel des eaux, un équilibre fragile maintenu entre la rudesse du climat et la mémoire des ancêtres qui ont su lire les signes de cette terre nordique. Les maisons, tournées vers l’horizon, semblent attendre le retour des embarcations, perpétuant une tradition de labeur et de contemplation silencieuse propre à ces rivages québécois. Le paysage, dépouillé de tout artifice, impose sa présence brute, forçant chacun à se mesurer à la grandeur austère de l’espace environnant.

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.
Location data for Magpie is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
