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 Pentenemis Kaiapis.
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.

Pentenemis Kaiapis is a locality in Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pentenemis Kaiapis is located at 50.1956°N, 60.9511°W.
Pentenemis Kaiapis rests quietly where the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence meets the rugged, unyielding reach of the Crête Barren. It lies 128.3 km west-south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 245°T), and is situated 5.6 km west-south-west of Akamiht Uahakutet. The cold, salt-heavy air clings to the skin here, carrying the scent of deep water and the metallic tang of exposed stone. Along the banks of the Rivière Musquanousse, the terrain shifts from marshy lowlands to the harsh, lichen-dusted rock characteristic of the region. As the light fades at dusk, the water takes on the color of hammered lead, reflecting the stark, treeless horizon that stretches toward the interior. About 10 km away, the stillness of Lac Salé offers a mirror to the sky, its presence felt in the way the wind funnels through the surrounding depressions. Pentenemis Kaiapis exists within this austere geography, shaped by the persistent push of tides and the long, biting winters that define the Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent. Life in Pentenemis Kaiapis follows the seasonal migration of the ice and the shifting demands of the coast. The local economy persists through a grounded connection to the water, where the extraction of resources and traditional harvesting methods dictate the daily movement of the people. History here is found in the weathered gear resting against cabin walls and the quiet expertise of those who navigate the Rivière Musquanousse regardless of the season. Traditions remain anchored in the necessity of self-reliance, with the community observing the cycles of the land with a watchful, pragmatic eye. Even in the middle of a busy afternoon, a profound silence often settles over the Crête Barren, reminding everyone of the immensity of the wilderness that presses against the edges of their homes.
Pentenemis Kaiapis s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le terrain se dépouille de ses artifices pour révéler la rudesse minérale de la Crête Barren. Dans ce repli de la Côte-Nord-du-Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, l’air chargé d’embruns remonte le cours de la Rivière Musquanousse, dont les eaux froides et sombres dictent depuis toujours le rythme des passages. À une dizaine de kilomètres, le Lac Salé demeure une présence immobile, une étendue d’eau qui capte les dernières lueurs du jour, prolongeant la clarté sur la terre ferme avant que la nuit ne s’installe sur les reliefs. Pentenemis Kaiapis conserve une allure de poste avancé, une solitude habitée où le silence ne cède que devant le souffle constant du large. Les jours s’écoulent dans une sobriété héritée des traditions côtières, marquées par une connaissance intime des marées et des courants. Le travail des hommes se mesure à l’aune de cette nature sauvage qui semble reprendre ses droits dès que l’activité humaine s’apaise. Chaque pierre de la Crête Barren semble garder la mémoire des vents dominants, offrant un abri précaire mais solide à ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence sur ces marges habitées par l’immensité du fleuve.
