This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Salmon Bay, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Quebec or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Salmon Bay and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Salmon Bay.
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.

Salmon Bay is a village in Bonne-Espérance; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Salmon Bay is located at 51.4242°N, 57.6153°W.
Salmon Bay occupies a rugged, wind-scoured stretch of the St. Lawrence coastline, framed by the stark, resilient stone of the Colline Red Head. It lies 29.8 km west of Blanc-Sablon, QC (from Blanc-Sablon, QC: bearing 272°T), and is situated 8.4 km south-east of Bonne-Espérance. The landscape here possesses a raw, elemental clarity, where the light at dusk turns the water into polished slate and the air carries a sharp, metallic bite of salt. Inland, the terrain rises into the weathered heights of the Colline Red Head, standing as a silent sentinel over the reach. Beyond the immediate shore, the landscape reveals its hidden pockets of stillness; Lac Big Pond lies sheltered about 2 km away, its surface often mirroring the low, scudding clouds of the north. Nearby, the Rivière de Salmon Bay carves a path through the earth about 6 km away, its flow a persistent, cold presence that defines the drainage of this coastal shelf. The life of Salmon Bay has long been dictated by the seasonal temperaments of the sea, with an economy traditionally anchored in the harvests of the gulf. Generations have shaped their days around the tides, maintaining a focus on maritime trades that prioritize patience and a deep knowledge of the local currents. The character of the people reflects the endurance required by this climate, where the transition between seasons is felt more keenly than anywhere else. While the pace of Salmon Bay remains dictated by the arrival of the ice or the opening of the shipping channels, there is a quiet strength in the way the dwellings cling to the rocky outcrops. This is a region where the history of the coast is read in the patterns of the nets and the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the waterfront, each structure built to withstand the relentless push of the northern wind.
Salmon Bay s'étire le long des rives glacées du Saint-Laurent, là où la rudesse du granit rencontre l'immensité saline. Dominant les eaux sombres, la Colline Red Head impose sa masse minérale, veillant sur ce rivage façonné par les vents incessants et les humeurs changeantes de l'Atlantique. À quelques encablures, le Lac Big Pond offre une pause argentée dans le relief accidenté, tandis que le murmure de la Rivière de Salmon Bay souligne, à six kilomètres de là, le drainage lent des terres vers l'estuaire. L'économie locale, forgée par une persévérance silencieuse, demeure tournée vers la mer, héritière d'une tradition de pêche qui définit chaque geste quotidien. À Salmon Bay, la lumière du crépuscule décline avec une lenteur mélancolique sur les maisons basses, transformant les rochers en silhouettes sombres avant que le froid ne saisisse l'air marin. La vie ici ne cherche pas le tumulte, elle suit la cadence imposée par les marées et le retour des saisons de pêche, portée par une mémoire collective qui se transmet dans le souffle des embruns. Ce paysage dépouillé, d'une beauté austère, impose une humilité profonde à ceux qui habitent ses marges, loin des certitudes urbaines, entre la terre de la Colline Red Head et le ressac éternel.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
