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 Mingan.
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.

Mingan is a village in Mingan; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Mingan is located at 50.2911°N, 64.0192°W.
Mingan rests along the bracing currents of the St. Lawrence, where the reach of the tide defines the threshold of the land. It lies 30.4 km west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 280°T), and is situated 9.1 km east-north-east of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan. The air here holds a sharp, clean salinity that clings to the coat, while the nearby Coteau Kapikuahenenant rises as a silent sentinel over the horizon. Inland, the cold, clear waters of the Rivière Mingan carve their way toward the sea, fed by the hidden stillness of Lac Misekamat Okwastipekw just a short distance away. When the light shifts at dusk, the water takes on the color of hammered pewter, reflecting a landscape that feels ancient and indifferent to the passing of human hours. Within this solitude, the rush of Chutes Nakatshuan Mantu Hipis provides a constant, low-frequency hum that settles into the bones of the earth. Mingan bears the deep, enduring imprint of the Innu people, whose ancestral knowledge of these woods and waters remains the foundation upon which Mingan stands. The local economy persists through a quiet reliance on the sea and the forest, balancing traditional practices with the necessities of modern life. Days in Mingan follow the movement of the wind and the freezing of the ice, creating a lifestyle dictated by the raw temperament of the northern coast. People here move with a deliberate purpose, shaped by the harsh beauty of a climate that demands resilience and respect for the natural world. In the quiet corners of the village, the history of those who first navigated the Rivière Mingan persists, lingering in the stories shared when the winter nights grow long and the frost settles deep into the ground.
Mingan s'étire le long des rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où l'air marin se charge d'une fraîcheur qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. Sur ces terres marquées par la rencontre des cultures, l'eau dicte le rythme des existences, qu'elle se manifeste par le courant vigoureux de la Rivière Mingan ou par le souffle salin remontant vers le Lac Misekamat Okwastipekw. À quelques kilomètres, la puissance brute des Chutes Nakatshuan Mantu Hipis résonne dans le silence des forêts, tandis que la proximité du Coteau Kapikuahenenant offre une perspective minérale sur cet horizon indompté. Les habitants de Mingan habitent un espace où la rudesse du climat sculpte les visages et renforce les liens, héritiers d'une mémoire autochtone qui imprègne chaque sentier longeant le rivage. Dans la lumière déclinante du soir, lorsque le ciel se teinte de nuances métalliques, le paysage révèle une beauté austère, presque impériale, propre aux espaces nordiques. L'activité humaine, modeste face à l'immensité du fleuve, se concentre autour des traditions de pêche et d'une cohabitation respectueuse avec une nature qui ne concède rien. Ici, le ciel bas et les eaux sombres composent une atmosphère singulière, conférant à Mingan une identité indélébile, façonnée par les éléments et le passage ininterrompu de la marée sur le sable froid.
