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 Pointe-Carleton.
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.

Pointe-Carleton is a locality in L'Île-d'Anticosti; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pointe-Carleton is located at 49.7311°N, 62.9436°W.
Pointe-Carleton rests as a stark, rugged outpost where the immense, restless waters of the St. Lawrence meet the limestone silence of the coast. It lies 73.8 km south-east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 140°T), and is situated 62.9 km south of Baie-Johan-Beetz. The Rivière à la Patate carves a path through the limestone shelf, its currents carrying the cold clarity of the interior toward the salt-sprayed edge of the world. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the landscape holds a profound stillness, with Lac au Caplan situated twelve kilometers inland, offering a quiet, hidden contrast to the maritime turbulence of the gulf. Travelers moving toward the interior encounter the expansive wilderness of Parc national d'Anticosti, which lies twenty-seven kilometers away, framing the region in a dense, verdant solitude that defines the character of the island. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, metallic violet, catching the jagged edges of the cliffs and grounding Pointe-Carleton in an atmosphere of ancient, unyielding permanence. The history of Pointe-Carleton lingers in the weathered remnants of coastal industry, where generations have looked toward the sea for their livelihood. Life in Pointe-Carleton follows the shifting tides and the seasonal migrations that have long sustained the inhabitants of this isolated reach of Minganie. The economy remains sparse and resilient, centered on the harvest of the sea and the careful stewardship of the land, reflecting a culture that values endurance over expansion. Even in the quietest hours, the influence of the river and the distant, dark forests maintains a sharp clarity, ensuring that Pointe-Carleton stays defined by its geography rather than by the frantic pace of the mainland.
Pointe-Carleton s’avance avec une opiniâtreté tranquille dans les eaux froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large vient sculpter les rives de la Rivière à la Patate. Le sol, marqué par une rudesse héritée des éléments, offre une terre ferme face à l’immensité marine, tandis que la lumière déclinante du soir dépose sur le rivage des teintes de cuivre et d’acier. À une douzaine de kilomètres, le Lac au Caplan sommeille dans un silence minéral, préservant une sérénité que seul le passage des vents vient parfois troubler. Plus loin, à vingt-sept kilomètres, le Parc national d’Anticosti déploie ses vastes étendues sauvages, gardien d’une nature indomptée qui dicte le rythme des heures. L’existence à Pointe-Carleton s’accorde à cette géographie exigeante, façonnée par les courants marins et la persistance d’une vie tournée vers l’horizon. Ici, le ciel et l’eau se répondent dans une clarté presque tranchante, rappelant à quiconque s’y aventure que la terre demeure une modeste avancée dans l’infini. La rudesse du climat et la solitude du paysage ne sont pas des obstacles, mais les composantes mêmes d’une identité forgée par le contact direct avec le sel et le roc.
