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 Pit-de-la-Mer.
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.

Pit-de-la-Mer is a locality in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Pit-de-la-Mer is located at 48.4414°N, 71.0928°W.
Pit-de-la-Mer rests upon the rugged transition where the St. Lawrence reaches toward the interior, its terrain defined by the heavy, dark presence of Le Grand Coteau. It lies 2.7 km west-north-west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 303°T), and is situated 3.4 km north-west of Chicoutimi. The Rivière Chicoutimi carves a persistent path through this landscape, its current often catching the amber light of dusk to shimmer like hammered copper against the stone. Nearby, the Chutes Price thunder with a relentless, white-foamed energy that fills the air with a fine, cooling mist, contrasting sharply with the still, deep silence found 7 km away at Lac de l'Aqueduc. Even the distant, brooding silhouette of Parc national des Monts-Valin serves as a constant, looming guardian over the horizon, reminding those who walk these paths of the vast, untamed reaches that define the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. The economy of Pit-de-la-Mer draws its strength from the historic power of the water, a legacy that once turned the wheels of early industry and continues to influence the local way of life. Houses cling to the slopes with a quiet tenacity, their windows reflecting the changing seasons as the inhabitants move through their days with a steady, pragmatic resolve. While the echoes of past labor remain in the architecture along the riverbanks, a new generation finds a different sort of value in the proximity to the wild, rugged spaces that begin just beyond the edge of the settled ground. Through the long winters, the air holds a brittle, crystalline quality, and the people of Pit-de-la-Mer maintain a deep, unspoken connection to the land that sustains them.
Pit-de-la-Mer s’éveille sous une lumière argentée, là où les courants du Saint-Laurent rencontrent la force tranquille de la Rivière Chicoutimi, près du Grand Coteau. L’air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d’une humidité vive qui semble sculpter les formes des rivages et le tempérament de ceux qui y vivent. À quelques kilomètres, les Chutes Price déclinent un fracas continu, une ponctuation sonore rappelant la puissance du courant qui a longtemps dicté le travail et l’existence des hommes. Plus loin, le Lac de l’Aqueduc déploie une étendue immobile, miroir sombre dissimulé dans le relief, tandis que l’horizon lointain est dominé par la silhouette imposante du Parc national des Monts-Valin. Pit-de-la-Mer conserve cette atmosphère de labeur et de patience, propre aux contrées où les eaux façonnent chaque parcelle de terre. La vie s’y écoule avec la régularité des marées et le mouvement lent des saisons qui transforment la texture du sol sous le gel ou la pluie. Les habitants observent le ciel, attentifs aux jeux d’ombre portés par les hauteurs sur les rives, dans un équilibre précaire entre la rudesse du climat septentrional et la douceur intime des foyers bâtis face au fleuve.

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.
