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-Rocheuse.
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-Rocheuse 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. Pointe-Rocheuse is located at 51.4647°N, 57.4158°W.
Pointe-Rocheuse stands as a rugged sentinel along the northern reaches of the St. Lawrence, where the grey expanse of the water meets the unyielding stone of the shore. It lies 16.8 km west-north-west of Blanc-Sablon, QC (from Blanc-Sablon, QC: bearing 288°T), and is situated 15.9 km west-north-west of Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon. The land here rises toward the slopes of Colline Red Head, a silent guardian watching over the salt-slicked rocks and the bracing, cold air that carries the scent of brine and ancient granite. Inland, the landscape finds a quiet stillness at Lac de la Symétrie, while the distant, rushing pull of the Rivière de Middle Bay marks the turn of the seasons. At dusk, the light strikes the water with a bruised, metallic violet, transforming the coastline into a sharp, crystalline edge that defines the horizon. Life in Pointe-Rocheuse lingers in the balance between the forest’s edge and the tides, reflecting a history shaped by those who looked to the sea for sustenance. The economy remains bound to the harvest of the gulf, where small vessels navigate the currents that have dictated the local way of life for generations. People here move with the deliberate caution of those who know the temperament of the coast, maintaining traditions that prioritize endurance over haste. Even as the wind whistles against the foundations of the houses, the spirit of Pointe-Rocheuse endures, grounded in the hard-won familiarity of the tides and the long, deep shadows cast by the hills.
Pointe-Rocheuse s'étire sur les rives froides du Saint-Laurent, là où le littoral se fragmente en une ligne austère sous la protection familière de la Colline Red Head. Le paysage y possède une sobriété minérale, une étendue nue que seule la lumière changeante du crépuscule vient adoucir, dorant les roches sombres avant que l'obscurité ne gagne le large. À quelques kilomètres, la Rivière de Middle Bay trace son sillage discret dans le relief, tandis que les eaux immobiles du Lac de la Symétrie retiennent le ciel dans un calme absolu, loin de l'agitation des marées. La vie à Pointe-Rocheuse s'ordonne selon le rythme des vents marins et des cycles de la mer, perpétuant une économie tournée vers l'horizon. Les habitants, héritiers d'une endurance transmise par les anciens, observent la rigueur des éléments avec une patience silencieuse. Ici, le sel imprègne les façades, la terre se fait rare entre les affleurements de granit et le mouvement perpétuel des eaux, créant une atmosphère où chaque détail, du cri des oiseaux marins à la texture des galets, raconte une existence façonnée par la proximité immédiate de l'immensité bleue.

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.
