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 Relais-Gabriel.
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.

Relais-Gabriel is a hamlet in Rivière-aux-Outardes; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Relais-Gabriel is located at 51.3260°N, 68.1222°W.
Relais-Gabriel rests as a stoic outpost upon the jagged shore of Réservoir Manicouagan, where the dark, expansive waters mirror a sky that often feels heavy with the coming of northern weather. It lies 169.8 km north-north-west of Port-Cartier, QC (from Port-Cartier, QC: bearing 329°T), and is situated 17.8 km south of La Porte-des-Bouleaux. The terrain here is dominated by the looming presence of Mont des Profondeurs, a silent sentinel that watches over the meeting of land and water. Nearby, the Rivière Gabriel carves its path through the rugged terrain, its movement providing a persistent, low-frequency hum that defines the auditory life of the landscape. During the twilight hours, the light flattens against the stone and stunted spruce, casting long, bruised shadows that emphasize the sheer isolation of this northern reach. The history of Relais-Gabriel is inextricably linked to the industrial expansion that pushed into the wilderness of Rivière-aux-Outardes, marking a point of persistence for those working within the harsh demands of the subarctic climate. Relais-Gabriel functions as a vital waypoint for travelers and those employed in the resource-based sectors that sustain the northern economy, serving as a rare anchor of human presence in a vast, unforgiving geography. Life here moves according to the necessities of the seasons, where the cold demands a particular kind of diligence and the infrastructure remains focused on the practicalities of transit and survival. Even in the peak of the day, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that reminds one of the immense, untamed wild that presses against the edges of the settlement.
Relais-Gabriel s'étend dans une solitude minérale, là où le froid sculpte une rudesse nécessaire sur les rives vastes du Réservoir Manicouagan. À l'ombre imposante du Mont des Profondeurs, le paysage s'étire dans une immensité boréale que seule la Rivière Gabriel vient rythmer par son cours tranquille et sombre. L'air y possède une netteté coupante, une limpidité qui semble suspendre le monde à l'approche du crépuscule, lorsque la lumière décline sur les eaux immobiles. Historiquement forgé par les exigences d'une industrie qui exigeait une présence humaine dans ces terres isolées, Relais-Gabriel demeure un poste de passage, une halte nécessaire dans l'étendue sauvage de la région de Rivière-aux-Outardes. Les structures qui s'y dressent révèlent une frugalité volontaire, une manière de cohabiter avec une nature qui ne pardonne aucune faiblesse. Ici, la vie quotidienne se mesure à la patience du climat et à la persistance du roc sous le couvert forestier. Ceux qui fréquentent ces parages connaissent le silence singulier de la Rivière Gabriel et la masse silencieuse du Mont des Profondeurs, des présences constantes qui dominent chaque geste et chaque regard porté vers l'horizon lointain du Réservoir Manicouagan.
