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 Sainte-Rose-du-Nord.
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.

Sainte-Rose-du-Nord is a parish municipality in Sainte-Rose-du-Nord; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sainte-Rose-du-Nord is located at 48.3884°N, 70.5848°W.
Sainte-Rose-du-Nord clings to the steep, granite-shouldered edge of the St. Lawrence, where the sheer verticality of the terrain forces the eye toward the dark, deep water. It lies 35.5 km east of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 97°T), and is situated 13.7 km north of Saint-Félix-d'Otis. High above the shoreline, the air holds a sharpness that tastes of cold stone and salt, a clarity that renders the distant reach of the Côte à François into a stark, blue-grey silhouette. While Lac à Tamichon rests in quiet seclusion just 2 km away, the landscape here is dominated by the weight of the cliffs, which seem to hold the light of the late afternoon in a long, lingering embrace before it spills into the depths below. The history of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord is tied to the demanding geometry of the fjord, where generations have looked toward the water for their livelihood and orientation. Though the Rivière Sainte-Marguerite flows through the rugged wilderness some 10 km from the village, the nearby presence of Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay reinforces the vastness of the surrounding wild, keeping the human footprint small and deliberate. Residents navigate the seasons with a quiet focus, their lives shaped by the persistence of the rock and the changing surface of the fjord. The daily work of the village reflects a steady, grounded existence, where the primary concerns are the cycle of the tides and the long, quiet watch kept over the water.
Sainte-Rose-du-Nord se déploie avec une grâce minérale sur les rives escarpées du Saint-Laurent, là où le relief semble vouloir toucher le ciel pour mieux contempler les eaux sombres qui s'étirent vers l'horizon. À quelques encablures de la Côte à François, le regard s'attarde sur les replis du terrain, tandis que la tranquillité du Lac à Tamichon, situé à peine à deux kilomètres, apporte une note de silence absolu à ce paysage façonné par la rudesse des éléments. La Rivière Sainte-Marguerite, coulant à environ dix kilomètres, imprime son rythme secret à la vallée, rappelant la patience nécessaire aux premiers colons qui ont défriché ces terres abruptes pour y bâtir un foyer. À vingt-cinq kilomètres de là, le Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay veille sur ces étendues sauvages comme un gardien immuable, protégeant l'héritage d'une nature indomptable. Sainte-Rose-du-Nord conserve cette âme singulière des lieux isolés par la géographie, où la lumière déclinante du soir transforme les parois rocheuses en autant de miroirs cuivrés. Les habitants habitués aux vents vifs et à la verticalité du sol cultivent une existence sobre, tournée vers la terre et les horizons immenses, perpétuant une tradition de résilience qui s'accorde merveilleusement avec la solennité de ce cadre boréal.
