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 Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal.
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.

Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal is a administrative sector in L'Île-d'Anticosti; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal is located at 49.5624°N, 62.6945°W.
Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal anchors a rugged expanse where the wild, cold currents of the St. Lawrence meet the limestone silence of the island. It lies 99.7 km south-east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 139°T), and is situated 62.3 km west-north-west of Cap-de-la-Table. The Rivière Vauréal carves its path through the stone, creating a sharp, vertical drama where the light at dusk turns the spray into a pale, ghostly plume. This terrain holds a stark stillness, with Lac Belnap sitting tucked into the hinterland only 8 km away, reflecting the low-slung northern clouds. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, Parc national d'Anticosti lies 12 km distant, guarding the deep woods and the limestone cliffs that define this isolated geography. The air here tastes of salt and cold lichen, a crisp quality that clarifies the horizon and makes the distant, stunted trees appear sharper against the sky. The history of Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal remains inseparable from the island's long, singular experiments in settlement and the persistent, quiet endurance of those who work the land. While the modern economy focuses on the stewardship of the natural landscape, the presence of the Rivière Vauréal has always dictated the movement of life, drawing those who seek the raw, unadorned power of the falls. Visitors and researchers often find themselves caught in the slow, heavy gravity of the island, where the pace of the day is dictated by the turning tide and the shifting winds off the St. Lawrence. Here, the land does not offer easy comfort, but rather a profound sense of solitude that settles into the bones, leaving a sharp, indelible impression of a world that persists almost entirely on its own terms.
Le Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal déploie sa silhouette sauvage sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le grondement de la Rivière Vauréal impose une cadence minérale à la terre battue par les vents. La lumière du crépuscule y étire des ombres longues sur le calcaire, révélant une austérité qui force le silence chez ceux qui s'aventurent sur ces plateaux sculptés par le froid. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Belnap dort dans une quiétude absolue, tandis que la présence du Parc national d'Anticosti impose une gestion rigoureuse de cet espace où la nature demeure la seule autorité souveraine. Le Secteur de la Chute-Vauréal conserve ainsi une dignité particulière, celle des lieux qui n'ont jamais cherché à séduire mais qui imposent le respect par leur rudesse. Les effluves salins remontent le cours d'eau, mêlant l'odeur de la forêt boréale aux embruns du large, créant une atmosphère où chaque souffle semble chargé de l'immensité du golfe. Ici, le paysage n'est pas un décor, mais une force brute qui définit la mesure du monde, rappelant aux rares visiteurs que la permanence des roches et des courants domine toute ambition humaine sur cette île isolée.
