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 Nakamistshetshuant.
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.

Nakamistshetshuant is a locality in Lac-Jérôme; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Nakamistshetshuant is located at 50.7236°N, 61.6453°W.
Nakamistshetshuant rests upon the northern banks of the Natashquan River, cradled by a landscape defined by the relentless push of water toward the sea. It lies 148.0 km east-north-east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 68°T), and is situated 61.1 km north-north-east of Natashquan. The earth here holds the deep, resonant chill of the boreal reach, where the light at dusk turns the heavy spruce needles into silhouettes against a sky of bruised violet. Only four kilometers away, the quiet basin of Lac Kukames mirrors the passing clouds, offering a stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency hum of the river current. The terrain is marked by the rugged resilience of the Canadian Shield, where moss-covered granite humps break through the thin soil, reminding any traveler that the land belongs to the elements first. In Nakamistshetshuant, the day begins not with the ringing of bells, but with the scent of pine resin and the sharp, clean bite of air that has traveled across leagues of untamed wilderness. The history of the region is anchored in the traditional movements of the Innu people, whose knowledge of the Natashquan River and the surrounding interior remains the bedrock of local identity. Economic life in Nakamistshetshuant persists through a quiet engagement with these ancestral waters and the bounty of the northern woods, favoring traditional pursuits that respect the seasonal turning of the year. While the modern world touches the edges of the region through small-scale resource stewardship, the culture of the place stays rooted in the endurance of those who have long called the riverbanks home. Life moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the gathering of wood and the reading of the ice provide a structure to the days more profound than any clock.
Nakamistshetshuant s'étire avec une noblesse sauvage sur les rives de la rivière Natashquan, là où le souffle du large rencontre l'immensité forestière de la Minganie. La lumière déclinante du soir teinte d'un cuivre profond les eaux de la rivière Natashquan, révélant la patience des hommes qui, depuis des générations, ont appris à lire le courant et les caprices du climat boréal. À peine à quatre kilomètres de là, le lac Kukames dort dans un silence minéral, gardien immobile des terres intérieures qui marquent l'horizon. Nakamistshetshuant porte en ses racines l'héritage des peuples qui ont su nommer chaque pierre et chaque méandre avant l'arrivée des bâtisseurs. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des marées et le cycle des travaux forestiers ou de la pêche, activités qui dictent encore aujourd'hui la cadence des jours. L'air, chargé d'une humidité vivifiante, semble conserver la mémoire des récits ancestraux, tandis que les habitations se regroupent humblement face à l'étendue. Ici, le terrain ne se laisse dompter qu'avec respect, offrant aux résidents une existence dépouillée de tout artifice, où la rudesse du paysage devient une forme de liberté pure.
