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 Manitou.
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.

Manitou is a locality in Rivière-au-Tonnerre; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Manitou is located at 50.3078°N, 65.2408°W.
Manitou rests where the dark, restless expanse of the St. Lawrence meets the rugged, unyielding terrain of the Morne à Patrick. It lies 82.1 km east of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 82°T), and is situated 4.3 km west-north-west of Rivière-aux-Graines. The air here carries a sharp, salt-crusted clarity, catching the light at dusk in a way that turns the surface of the Rivière Manitou into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the land rises into dense, resilient thickets, while Petit lac de l'Ouest sits tucked into the hollows about 4 km away, a quiet mirror held up to the vast northern sky. The history of Manitou exists in the quiet persistence of those who have long navigated the currents of the Rivière Manitou and the challenges of the Minganie coast. Life in this sector of Rivière-au-Tonnerre maintains a steady, deliberate pace, shaped by the demands of the environment and the seasonal shifts of the northern climate. Local identity draws heavily from the proximity to the water, where the cold, bracing wind serves as a constant reminder of the raw, elemental scale of the landscape. Whether through the heritage of those who first inhabited these shores or the modern endeavors that sustain the local economy, Manitou holds its own against the weight of the horizon.
Manitou s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le Morne à Patrick dicte une topographie austère, sculptée par des souffles marins qui semblent ne jamais vouloir s'apaiser. À cet endroit précis, la Rivière Manitou déverse ses eaux froides dans le grand fleuve, marquant de son passage une terre où l’histoire se confond avec la rudesse du relief. À quatre kilomètres de là, le Petit lac de l’Ouest demeure une présence silencieuse, niché dans une nature qui exige une attention constante de ceux qui s'y installent. Les hommes de Manitou ont appris à lire la lumière particulière du crépuscule sur ces côtes, ce moment où le gris des roches s’adoucit sous une clarté presque liquide, révélant la texture minérale du sol. L’économie locale, forgée par une proximité singulière avec les éléments, demeure fidèle aux rythmes imposés par ces vastes étendues boréales. Ici, le travail quotidien s'ajuste aux caprices du Saint-Laurent et à la rigueur d'un climat qui façonne les gestes autant que les tempéraments. Chaque foyer, installé à l’abri des vents dominants, entretient une mémoire transmise par le simple respect de ce territoire sauvage, où la forêt et l'eau dictent, sans concession, la permanence de la vie.

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 Manitou 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.
