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-à-Maurier.
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-à-Maurier holds its position along the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the cold, expansive reach of the northern waters. It lies 52.7 km south-west of Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC (from Tête-à-la-Baleine, QC: bearing 222°T), and is situated 12.2 km west-north-west of Les Îles-Sainte-Marie. The terrain surrounding Pointe-à-Maurier rises toward the Collines Darby, forming a landscape of stark, weathered granite that catches the low, pale light of the subarctic sun. Inland, the stillness is broken only by the movement of the wilderness, where Lac Gaine à la Bombe lies tucked into the hollows of the rock five kilometers away, reflecting the vast, clear sky. Twelve kilometers distant, the Rivière Étamamiou carves its path through the terrain, its presence felt in the humid, salt-tinged air that drifts across the barrens. Here, the wind carries a sharp, metallic clarity, reminding those who walk the shore that the earth remains untamed and indifferent to human passage. The history of Pointe-à-Maurier is defined by the resilience of those who have long looked to the sea for their livelihood, turning to the bounty of the gulf to sustain the rhythm of their days. Local industry remains tied to the cycles of the water, with the harvest of the coast providing the primary occupation for the families who reside along this harsh, beautiful stretch of the Côte-Nord. The daily life of Pointe-à-Maurier moves in alignment with the tides and the shifting seasons, an existence marked by the quiet preparation of gear and the watchful gaze kept on the horizon. Traditions here are quiet and practical, passed down through the generations as a way of navigating the isolation of the coast, ensuring that the connection to these waters remains constant and vital.
Pointe-à-Maurier s'étire le long des rives salines du Saint-Laurent, là où la lumière déclinante transforme les rochers en formes indécises et silencieuses. À proximité, les Collines Darby dressent leurs silhouettes anciennes contre un ciel souvent chargé de brumes marines, offrant un contrepoint minéral à l'immensité bleue. La vie se mesure ici à la persistance des marées et aux vents qui balayent le rivage, sculptant le caractère de ceux qui habitent ces terres de la Basse-Côte-Nord. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Gaine à la Bombe emprisonne le ciel dans son miroir sombre, tandis que la Rivière Étamamiou poursuit son tracé constant vers le large, rappelant aux résidents la puissance des eaux qui façonnent leur quotidien. L’histoire de Pointe-à-Maurier demeure liée aux cycles de la pêche et à la rudesse magnifique d’un environnement où chaque hiver exige une endurance singulière. Les gestes répétés, le soin apporté aux embarcations et la vigilance tournée vers le grand large constituent la trame de l’existence locale. Entre l’austérité des Collines Darby et le murmure infatigable du fleuve, Pointe-à-Maurier conserve une beauté brute, une clarté presque tranchante qui saisit le regard lorsque le soleil s'abîme enfin derrière les crêtes lointaines.
