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 Sheldrake.
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.

Sheldrake is a village in Rivière-au-Tonnerre; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Sheldrake is located at 50.2644°N, 64.8972°W.
Sheldrake sits perched against the vast, cold expanse of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields abruptly to the salt-heavy breath of the sea. It lies 92.4 km west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 272°T), and is situated 15.7 km west of Le Dock. The terrain rises into the rugged silhouette of Le Gros Morne, a silent sentinel watching over the low-slung buildings that cling to the rocky shoreline. Near the mouth of the Rivière Couture, the water pulls at the earth with a restless, rhythmic hunger, carving deep channels into the dark, granitic coast. Just a kilometer inland, the still, reflective surface of Lac de la Plaine offers a quiet counterpoint to the turbulent currents of the coast, its edges rimmed with spruce that seem to drink in the pale, northern light of late afternoon. The history of Sheldrake remains tied to the arduous pursuit of the sea’s bounty, as families long ago established their lives within the reach of the tides. Local industry persists in the echoes of those who once sought a living from the deep, and the wooden hulls of boats still lean against the piers, waiting for the water to rise. The pace of existence here follows the shift of the wind and the freezing of the bays, a life defined by the raw, unadorned necessity of the coast. Residents move with a deliberate purpose, their work shaped by the cold clarity of the air and the immense, shifting horizon that dominates every view.
Sheldrake se déploie sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme dans une immensité boréale. À l'approche du Gros Morne, le paysage se fragmente en falaises abruptes et en courants capricieux, façonnant une identité forgée par le labeur maritime et la patience des saisons. Les eaux de la Rivière Couture serpentent à travers le relief accidenté, apportant une note de fraîcheur minérale qui se mêle à l'humidité constante du large, tandis que le Lac de la Plaine, niché à une courte distance, repose dans un silence immuable, protégé par le couvert forestier. L'histoire de Sheldrake s'articule autour de cette relation viscérale avec l'estuaire, où les familles ont longtemps puisé leur subsistance dans la générosité des profondeurs. La lumière déclinante y étire des ombres longues sur les rochers gris, révélant une beauté dépouillée, quasi minérale, qui semble défier l'oubli. Ici, le quotidien s'accorde au rythme des marées et aux humeurs du grand fleuve, offrant aux habitants une existence humble, dictée par la rudesse et la grandeur d'un environnement dont les reliefs, du Gros Morne aux rives de la Rivière Couture, imposent un respect solennel à chaque battement de cœur.

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.
Location data for Sheldrake is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
