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 Poste-de-la-Baleine.
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.

Poste-de-la-Baleine holds a solitary, enduring presence where the vast, cold waters of the St. Lawrence meet the rugged edges of the Colline Uchistun Astach. The Grande rivière de la Baleine carves a deep, deliberate path toward the coast, its movement constant against the stillness of the northern air.

Poste-de-la-Baleine s'étire avec une noblesse austère le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du Nord sculpte la terre en une patience minérale. La Colline Uchistun Astach domine ce rivage où la Grande rivière de la Baleine déploie ses eaux sombres dans une marche lente et déterminée vers l'immensité marine. À peine à un kilomètre, le Lac Tasiarualuk demeure un miroir de silence, capturant les nuances changeantes d'un ciel qui semble ne jamais vouloir clore ses paupières. Dans cette contrée de Whapmagoostui, le quotidien se mesure aux pulsations du vent et aux récits des anciens, perpétuant une culture autochtone qui connaît le secret des pierres et des glaces. Poste-de-la-Baleine demeure le gardien de ces étendues sauvages, ses structures humbles s'effaçant devant la majesté d'un horizon qui refuse toute clôture.

Ici, l'existence s'ajuste aux rythmes impérieux de la nature, une danse invisible entre l'homme et les éléments dont la Grande rivière de la Baleine dicte le tempo. Chaque ombre portée devient une confidence, rappelant que la terre appartient à ceux qui acceptent son dépouillement.
