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-Leggatt.
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-Leggatt is a hamlet in Métis-sur-Mer; La Mitis, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Pointe-Leggatt is located at 48.6642°N, 68.0711°W.
Pointe-Leggatt stretches along the cold, salt-heavy reach of the St. Lawrence, where the land holds its breath against the push of the tide. It lies 12.4 km north-east of Mont-Joli, QC (from Mont-Joli, QC: bearing 45°T), and is situated 14.5 km west-south-west of Baie-des-Sables. The terrain rises toward the Montagne des Caron, a sentinel of stone that watches over the Rivière du Petit Mitis as it carves a path toward the sea. Here, the light at dusk has a peculiar, bruised quality, turning the grey waters of the St. Lawrence into hammered silver while the wind pulls at the grasses near the shore. Nine kilometers inland, the stillness of Lac Côté offers a quiet counterpoint to the restless movement of the river, anchoring the horizon in a deep, reflective blue. Pointe-Leggatt carries the weight of a long maritime history, where the economy was once tied to the rhythms of the water and the small-scale harvests of the coastal shelf. Life here follows the shifting moods of the St. Lawrence, with the legacy of early settlers still visible in the way the houses turn their backs to the prevailing winds, seeking shelter near the rising slopes. The proximity of the Rivière du Petit Mitis reminds those who dwell here that the interior is never far away, offering a passage through the woods that feels both ancient and immediate. Residents move with a deliberate care, acknowledging the demands of a climate that insists on resilience, while the enduring presence of the Montagne des Caron provides a constant, immovable landmark for those navigating the changing seasons.
Pointe-Leggatt s’étire le long des berges du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard se perd dans l’immensité saline, cherchant l’équilibre entre la terre ferme et le mouvement perpétuel des marées. À proximité de la Montagne des Caron, le relief s'incline doucement vers les eaux de la Rivière du Petit Mitis, dont le cours dessine une frontière naturelle entre les champs et le littoral. L’air y possède une âpreté particulière, une fraîcheur chargée de sel qui imprègne les battures et les sentiers battus par les vents du nord. À quelques lieues de là, le Lac Côté demeure, calme et replié sur lui-même, offrant un contraste de quiétude face au tumulte du fleuve qui dicte, depuis toujours, le rythme des jours. Le paysage de Pointe-Leggatt porte les stigmates d'une vie tournée vers cette étendue mouvante, où les activités traditionnelles se mêlent à l'érosion patiente des rivages. Entre la roche sombre et les herbes folles qui plient sous la brise, le cadre révèle une beauté austère, celle d'un monde qui ne cherche pas à plaire, mais qui s'impose par sa présence brute. Les maisons, tournées vers le large, semblent attendre le retour des courants, habitées par la mémoire des eaux et la solitude féconde des horizons maritimes.
