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 Plage-Routhier.
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.

Plage-Routhier is a hamlet in Sept-Îles; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Plage-Routhier is located at 50.2136°N, 66.2514°W.
Plage-Routhier lies where the cold, bracing expanse of the St. Lawrence meets a shoreline defined by the rugged character of the North Shore. It lies 9.5 km east of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 87°T), and is situated 14.6 km west-south-west of Coude-de-la-Rivière-Moisie. The land here holds a quiet intensity, with the Rivière Moisie carving its path toward the sea just 8 km away, its presence felt in the humid, salt-tinged air that clings to the sand. Inland, the dark, still waters of Lac Shakaikaniss rest 6 km from the coast, offering a stark contrast to the shifting tides that define the daily life of Plage-Routhier. On clear evenings, the light pulls long, thin shadows across the beach, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that chills the skin even in the height of summer. Further out, the vast, protected expanses of the Réserve écologique de la Matamec sit 30 km away, guarding the wilderness that stretches deep into the Quebec interior. The history of the region is anchored in the hard, salt-sprayed labor of those who navigated the St. Lawrence, forging a life between the forest’s edge and the unpredictable currents of the gulf. While modern industry often focuses on the extraction and transit of resources common to Sept-Rivières, Plage-Routhier retains a singular, solitary quality, as if the land itself demands a deliberate, measured pace of life. Residents move with a focused awareness of the weather, respecting the transition from the brief, intense warmth of the season to the long, silent grip of the northern winter. This connection to the elements persists as a local tradition, a quiet acknowledgment that the landscape—from the distant silence of the Réserve écologique de la Matamec to the rhythmic pulse of the tides—governs the movement and spirit of those who call this coast home.
Plage-Routhier s'étend sur les rives froides et vastes du Saint-Laurent, là où le ressac vient polir les galets sous une lumière qui semble suspendre le monde à chaque crépuscule. Le paysage se déploie avec une sobriété minérale, marqué par la proximité de la Rivière Moisie qui serpente à huit kilomètres de là, apportant ses eaux vives vers l'estuaire. Non loin, le Lac Shakaikaniss repose dans un calme absolu, à peine à six kilomètres de distance, offrant une respiration forestière entre les reliefs de la côte. Plus loin, à une trentaine de kilomètres, la Réserve écologique de la Matamec protège une nature sauvage et préservée, soulignant l'isolement relatif de ce littoral septentrional. Plage-Routhier vit au rythme des marées et des vents salins qui modèlent la végétation tenace des dunes, rappelant la rudesse et la grandeur de la géographie nordique. Les habitants observent depuis longtemps le passage des navires sur le fleuve, gardant une mémoire vive des traditions maritimes qui ont façonné leur quotidien. Cette étendue de sable et de terre garde une allure de frontière, un espace où le ciel immense se confond avec l'horizon sombre, offrant une sérénité rare à ceux qui habitent ce rivage balayé par les éléments.
