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 Rapides-du-Diable.
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.

Rapides-du-Diable is a locality in Rivière-aux-Outardes; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rapides-du-Diable is located at 49.7397°N, 68.2961°W.
Rapides-du-Diable anchors the rugged terrain of the Rivière Toulnustouc, where the water surges with a persistent, low-frequency roar against the surrounding rock. It lies 58.7 km north of Baie-Comeau, QC (from Baie-Comeau, QC: bearing 350°T), and is situated 29.8 km east-south-east of Tour-Fraser. The landscape rises sharply toward the Butte à Barbeau, a prominent feature that catches the amber light of late afternoon, turning the granite slopes into a dull, burnished bronze. Beyond the immediate turbulence of the river, the air carries a crisp, pine-scented stillness that settles in the hollows, while the nearby Lac du Bonheur de Lucienne offers a glass-like contrast to the kinetic energy of the rapids themselves. The history of Rapides-du-Diable remains tied to the movement of timber and the relentless demands of the northern wilderness. Industry here has long looked to the power of the Rivière Toulnustouc, utilizing the force of the current to sustain the local economy through cycles of seasonal labor and resource management. Life in this sector of the Manicouagan region demands a quiet resilience, as the inhabitants observe the changing seasons with a practical attention to the ice and the thaw. While the modern world moves with frantic noise, the daily existence around these waters maintains a grounded, functional pace, defined by the cyclical work of those who know the temperament of the land and the river’s unforgiving depth.
Rapides-du-Diable surgit dans la rudesse boréale, là où le souffle du vent semble porter les souvenirs des anciens arpenteurs de la forêt. Le terrain, marqué par une topographie accidentée, s'étire avec une austérité magnifique près de la Butte à Barbeau, offrant une perspective imprenable sur les eaux tumultueuses de la Rivière Toulnustouc. Cette force hydraulique domine le paysage, façonnant le quotidien par son mugissement constant qui, à l'heure où le soleil décline, teinte les rives d'une lumière cuivrée et mélancolique. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac du Bonheur de Lucienne apporte une note de calme minéral, contrastant avec l'agitation des courants. Les habitants de Rapides-du-Diable entretiennent une relation étroite avec ce sol rocailleux, héritage d'une terre où la survie exigeait une main ferme et un regard attentif aux caprices du climat. Ici, chaque bâtisse semble s'incliner devant la puissance sauvage des éléments qui dictent le rythme de l'existence. L'absence d'artifice souligne la noblesse de ce coin de terre, préservé par son isolement relatif, tandis que le silence qui s'installe après le crépuscule révèle une profondeur insoupçonnée, celle d'un espace où la nature conserve ses droits souverains sur l'activité humaine.
