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 Shigawake-Est.
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.

Shigawake-Est is a hamlet in Shigawake; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Shigawake-Est is located at 48.1078°N, 65.0494°W.
Shigawake-Est rests along the salt-scented edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises to meet the shadowed silhouette of the Colline de Port-Daniel. It lies 17.1 km east-north-east of Paspébiac, QC (from Paspébiac, QC: bearing 59°T), and is situated 7.5 km south-west of Port-Daniel-Centre. The cold currents of the St. Lawrence pull at the coastline, while inland, the Rivière Shigawake cuts a quiet path through the terrain. Near the sheltered expanse of Lac Vautier, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that defines the transition between the dense woodland and the open water. When the low sun hits the bank, the light turns a bruised, translucent violet, catching the silt in the river’s slow movement. This landscape demands a particular kind of attention, marked by the way the wind clears the salt from the grasses and settles into the hollows near the hills. Generations in Shigawake-Est have anchored their livelihoods to the cycles of the water and the seasonal yield of the coastal soil. The work here follows the requirements of the season, whether tending to the small-scale agricultural plots that cling to the slopes or monitoring the tides that shift the character of the shore. History persists in the simple, sturdy architecture that stands against the northern gales, favoring function over ornament. Life maintains a steady, deliberate pace, defined by the morning fog and the persistent, low-frequency hum of the river meeting the sea. Even on the quietest days, the presence of the water provides a constant pulse, grounding Shigawake-Est in the enduring geography of the coast.
Shigawake-Est s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le ciel bas s’abaisse pour embrasser le mouvement perpétuel des marées. Le terrain s’incline doucement vers l’eau, marqué par la présence protectrice de la Colline de Port-Daniel qui veille sur les habitations dispersées. Tout près, la Rivière Shigawake trace son sillon tranquille, apportant la fraîcheur des terres intérieures vers l’immensité maritime, tandis que le Lac Vautier, situé à deux kilomètres, repose dans un silence minéral, miroir immobile reflétant la lumière changeante du crépuscule. L’histoire de Shigawake-Est puise sa force dans une terre généreuse, façonnée par des générations de labeur agricole et une proximité constante avec les éléments. Les vents marins sculptent le caractère des habitants, dont le quotidien s’ajuste au rythme des courants et des saisons qui défilent sur ces terres gaspésiennes. Ici, la lumière du soir possède une clarté particulière, découpant les silhouettes des bâtiments contre l’horizon bleu sombre. La vie s’y déroule sans artifice, portée par le bruissement du ressac et le calme des espaces ouverts, offrant une présence stable dans ce paysage où chaque geste quotidien se lie à la terre et à l’eau qui la bordent.

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.
