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 Quai-Franquelin.
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.

Quai-Franquelin is a locality in Franquelin; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Quai-Franquelin is located at 49.2903°N, 67.9131°W.
Quai-Franquelin rests along the vast, salt-scented expanse of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the Plaine de la Tour. It lies 18.8 km east-north-east of Baie-Comeau, QC (from Baie-Comeau, QC: bearing 66°T), and is situated 1.6 km west-south-west of Franquelin. The Rivière Franquelin carves a narrow path toward the tide, its current carrying the brisk chill of the north through the heart of the village. Inland, the terrain rises toward the hidden quiet of Lac Morris, a mirror for the sky situated only a short distance away. When the afternoon light slants low against the shoreline, the grey water takes on the polished sheen of slate, grounding Quai-Franquelin in a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate. Nearer to the inland wilderness, the Chutes à Thompson exert a constant, low-frequency hum that vibrates through the damp earth, marking the transition from the coastal shelf to the dense, brooding timberlands beyond. Life in Quai-Franquelin remains defined by the proximity of the water and the seasonal cycles of the timber industry that once anchored its founding. While the heavy machinery of the past has softened into quiet remnants, the local character retains a sturdy independence, shaped by the practical needs of those who live within sight of the shipping lanes. The people here move with a deliberate focus, mindful of the weather that rolls off the St. Lawrence to dictate the pace of the day. Even as the modern world brushes against its borders, Quai-Franquelin keeps to its own horizon, sustained by the sight of the tide turning against the pier and the persistent, cold breath of the forest.
Quai-Franquelin s’étire avec une humilité grave sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la rudesse de la Plaine de la Tour. Le courant de la Rivière Franquelin, fidèle compagne de ces terres, dicte le rythme paisible des jours, ses eaux sombres s’écoulant vers l’immensité marine dans une quiétude immuable. À quelques lieues de ce rivage, le Lac Morris offre une halte de silence sous les frondaisons, tandis que la puissance sourde des Chutes à Thompson résonne dans le lointain, rappelant la force brute d’une nature qui façonne encore l’âme de ce littoral. L’histoire de Quai-Franquelin demeure liée à cette présence de l’eau, laquelle a longtemps dicté le travail des hommes et le transport du bois, laissant sur les berges le souvenir d’une industrie forestière qui a su apprivoiser la forêt boréale. Lorsque le crépuscule s’attarde, une lumière dorée nimbe les crêtes, transformant les reliefs en silhouettes apaisées. Cette géographie austère, marquée par la rigueur du climat québécois, confère à chaque habitant une endurance naturelle, une manière de vivre en harmonie avec les saisons qui défilent sans jamais altérer la dignité sauvage de ce coin de côte, où le ciel et le fleuve fusionnent dans une clarté presque irréelle.
