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-en-Bas.
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-en-Bas is a village in Sept-Îles; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite-en-Bas is located at 50.1378°N, 66.6142°W.
Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite-en-Bas holds a quiet vigil where the Rivière Sainte-Marguerite spills its cold, dark currents into the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence. It lies 18.2 km west-south-west of Sept-Îles, QC (from Sept-Îles, QC: bearing 244°T), and is situated 9.1 km south-south-east of Barrage-Sainte-Marguerite. The land here is defined by the sharp, rugged presence of the Les Jambons, which rise above the water like stone sentinels guarding the mouth of the river. The air carries a sharp, saline clarity, especially when the light of late afternoon catches the crests of the waves and turns the surface of the water into a sheet of hammered silver. Inland, the terrain reaches toward the quiet basin of Lac Armand, situated only a few kilometers away, where the stillness of the forest offers a stark contrast to the restless motion of the coast. Life in Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite-en-Bas follows the movement of the tides and the seasonal shifts of the northern climate, drawing its character from the proximity of the deep, salt-heavy waters. For generations, the people here have looked to the river and the sea for their livelihood, finding a steady purpose in the harvest of the aquatic bounty that sustains the region. The proximity of the Les Jambons provides a natural shelter, anchoring the dwellings against the biting winds that sweep across the St. Lawrence during the long winters. Even on the coldest days, there is a persistent vitality in the way the local residents navigate the rocky shoreline, their movements practiced and deliberate, reflecting a deep familiarity with the demands of the northern landscape.
Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite-en-Bas s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le courant marin rencontre l’eau douce dans un souffle froid qui marque la chair. Le paysage, marqué par la proximité des Jambons, se déploie avec une rectitude austère, offrant une lumière changeante qui semble se perdre dans les replis de la Rivière Sainte-Marguerite. À quelques kilomètres dans les terres, le Lac Armand conserve un silence minéral, observant les ombres qui s’allongent sur le sol tourbeux et les roches polies par les vents du nord. Rivière-Sainte-Marguerite-en-Bas puise sa force dans cette rudesse côtière, cultivant une existence tournée vers les caprices du large et la patience des marées. Ici, les jours s’écoulent au rythme des travaux de subsistance et de la mémoire qui circule entre les maisons, portée par l’air salin qui imprègne les bois et les structures. Chaque geste quotidien se déploie dans cet espace ouvert où l’immensité de l’eau dicte la mesure du monde, rappelant sans cesse aux habitants la fragilité de leur présence face à la puissance du fleuve. La terre garde le souvenir des passages anciens, une persistance qui se devine dans la façon dont la lumière dorée du soir caresse les rives, révélant la texture intime de ce territoire sauvage et rigoureux.
