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 Shigawake 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 Shigawake.
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 is a municipality in Shigawake; Bonaventure, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Shigawake is located at 48.0969°N, 65.0686°W.
Shigawake rests where the land leans toward the salt-heavy air of the St. Lawrence, defined by the quiet persistence of the Rivière Shigawake as it cuts through the earth toward the coast. It lies 15.3 km east-north-east of Paspébiac, QC (from Paspébiac, QC: bearing 61°T), and is situated 9.3 km south-west of Port-Daniel-Centre. The Colline de Port-Daniel looms nearby, a silent sentinel that watches over the shifting light as it catches the crests of the water at dusk, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered silver. Only two kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Vautier offers a deep, dark contrast to the moving currents, while the distant expanse of the Réserve faunique de Port-Daniel anchors the wilderness that presses against the edges of the fields. The history of Shigawake lingers in the enduring shape of its farms and the steady, seasonal labor of those who work the soil and sea. Life here follows the ancient gravity of the tides and the cycle of the frost, maintaining a character shaped by rugged self-reliance and the salt-cured wood of old barns. While the Réserve faunique de Port-Daniel draws those seeking the solitude of the deep woods, the people of Shigawake find their own grace in the routine of the harvest and the persistent, bracing chill that rolls off the St. Lawrence. Here, the economy remains rooted in the land’s raw offerings, where the wind carries the scent of spruce and cold water, reminding everyone that Shigawake belongs as much to the elements as it does to the people who call it home.
Shigawake s’étire avec une patience minérale le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin de l’estuaire vient caresser la terre ferme. La lumière du couchant se dépose sur la Colline de Port-Daniel, transformant les reliefs en silhouettes sombres qui veillent sur les humbles demeures et les champs hérités d'une longue tradition agricole. À proximité immédiate, les eaux tranquilles de la Rivière Shigawake poursuivent leur course vers le large, rythmant le quotidien de ceux qui habitent ce littoral escarpé. À deux kilomètres, le Lac Vautier offre un miroir immobile aux arbres qui le bordent, tandis qu'à vingt-deux kilomètres, la Réserve faunique de Port-Daniel déploie ses espaces sauvages, préservant une nature restée fidèle à ses origines. Shigawake conserve le souvenir des pionniers qui, par leur labeur, ont su dompter cette côte aux hivers vigoureux et aux étés brefs mais éclatants. L’économie locale, forgée par le travail de la terre et la proximité du grand large, dessine le caractère robuste des habitants, dont la résilience semble se confondre avec la pierre grise des falaises. Dans cet environnement où le ciel et l’eau se rejoignent dans une clarté limpide, Shigawake demeure une présence singulière, un monde où chaque vent semble murmurer l'histoire silencieuse de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence sur ces rivages du Québec.

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.
