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 Mahtihk Niapaut.
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.

Mahtihk Niapaut is a locality in Havre-Saint-Pierre; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Mahtihk Niapaut is located at 50.2153°N, 63.7986°W.
Mahtihk Niapaut rests in a stark, quiet corner of the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada, where the land meets the cold reach of the Gulf. It lies 14.7 km west-south-west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 257°T), and is situated 13.9 km west of Le Brûlis-à-Thyme. The terrain around Mahtihk Niapaut is defined by the proximity of the Colline Uanahkuan, which rises above the surrounding scrub with a singular, weather-worn gravity. To the inland side, the landscape holds the stillness of Lac à Canards, a body of water that mirrors the low, grey clouds of the north with startling clarity. Further out, the Rivière Romaine carves its path toward the sea, its presence felt in the damp, salt-heavy air that clings to the moss and lichen. The nearby Chutes Utshinahkuhiu adds a distant, rhythmic hum to the atmosphere, a constant reminder of the relentless movement of water through this terrain. As the light fades, the stones along the coast take on a bruised, violet hue, grounding the environment in a silence that feels both ancient and entirely present. Life in and around Mahtihk Niapaut has long been shaped by the harsh, bracing realities of the Minganie region, where the economy remains tied to the sea and the rugged geology of the coast. The legacy of the land is found in the way generations have navigated the currents and the rocky shoreline, finding sustenance in the rhythms of the seasons. There is a specific, sharpened focus in the way the wind moves across the open spaces here, a cold breath that demands a certain resilience from all things. Local traditions are quiet, carried in the knowledge of the tides and the careful observation of the changing ice. Whether through the seasonal harvests or the maintenance of the coastal trails, the people here move with a deliberate purpose, mindful of the vast, indifferent beauty that defines the horizon.
Mahtihk Niapaut s’étire avec une dignité austère sur les terres rudes de la Minganie, là où le vent salin sculpte le visage de ceux qui habitent cette frontière septentrionale. À proximité de la Colline Uanahkuan, le relief se cabre dans une immobilité minérale, offrant un abri naturel au sein du Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve of Canada. Le quotidien y est dicté par le murmure des eaux, car la Rivière Romaine, située à une dizaine de kilomètres, imprime son rythme puissant à la géographie environnante, tandis que le Lac à Canards, à peine à trois kilomètres, retient la lumière crépusculaire dans ses profondeurs calmes. Non loin, les Chutes Utshinahkuhiu déversent leur énergie sauvage avec une régularité ancestrale, rappelant la force indomptable qui a forgé le caractère des premiers occupants de ces lieux. Dans cette étendue où la terre rencontre l'immensité du ciel, Mahtihk Niapaut demeure une présence singulière, portée par une mémoire qui puise ses racines dans l'héritage autochtone et la persévérance des travailleurs de la côte. Chaque pierre, chaque sentier qui serpente vers les hauteurs de la Colline Uanahkuan raconte la patience nécessaire pour s'établir sur ce sol indocile, transformant la rudesse du climat en une force tranquille qui définit l'existence de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir ici, entre la puissance des chutes et le silence des forêts boréales.
