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 Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite.
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.

Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite is a hamlet in Sacré-Cœur; La Haute-Côte-Nord, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite is located at 48.2569°N, 69.8694°W.
Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite emerges where the rugged earth yields to the deep, cold currents of the St. Lawrence. It lies 15.1 km north-east of Secteur Arcand, QC (from Secteur Arcand, QC: bearing 38°T), and is situated 5.7 km west-north-west of Sacré-Cœur. The landscape surrounding Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite is defined by the steep, silent rise of the Colline de l'Anse à la Barque and the persistent, crystalline flow of the Rivière Sainte-Marguerite Nord-Est. A short distance away, the quiet stillness of Lac Clair mirrors the shifting grey light of a northern sky, while the distant, rushing energy of the Chutes du Seize marks the deeper wilderness. As the sun dips behind the hills, the air gathers a sharp, metallic clarity that carries the scent of damp stone and pine. Nearby, the expansive reaches of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay guard the horizon, framing a terrain where the water dictates the slow, deliberate pace of every season. Life in Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite persists in the quiet shadow of the hills, shaped by a long history of maritime and forest industry that once relied heavily on the bounty of the nearby waterways. The local economy maintains a steady focus on the natural environment, balancing the heritage of traditional harvesting with the watchful stewardship required by the proximity of the protected parklands. Residents move through their days with a practical grace, accustomed to the sudden, cooling winds that roll off the St. Lawrence to stir the trees. In the quiet hours, the sound of the Rivière Sainte-Marguerite Nord-Est provides a constant, low-frequency hum, reminding those who live here of the ancient, unyielding forces that hold the land in place.
Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la Colline de l'Anse à la Barque veille sur le mouvement perpétuel des marées. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée de l'humidité saline qui remonte vers les terres, s'infiltrant avec une précision froide entre les arbres. À quelques distances, la Rivière Sainte-Marguerite Nord-Est trace un sillon vigoureux, rappelant aux habitants la force brute des eaux qui ont façonné cette topographie accidentée. Le Lac Clair, niché à peine à deux kilomètres, offre une pause de silence minéral dans ce décor où le relief impose sa loi. Plus loin, le fracas lointain des Chutes du Seize scande la rudesse du terrain, tandis que les limites du Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay dessinent un horizon de pierre sombre et de forêts impénétrables. Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite maintient ce dialogue singulier avec un environnement sauvage, où le quotidien des résidents se plie aux caprices du climat et à la lumière changeante qui décline sur les crêtes à la tombée du jour. Cette présence constante des éléments dicte une existence rythmée par la rudesse des hivers et la brièveté lumineuse de l'été, transformant chaque trajet vers la côte en une redécouverte de cette terre québécoise qui ne livre jamais ses secrets sans une forme de résistance patiente.
