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 Starvation Point.
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.

Starvation Point is a locality in Lac-Croche; La Jacques-Cartier, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Starvation Point is located at 47.4659°N, 72.1592°W.
Starvation Point emerges from the rugged terrain of the Branche Batiscan Est as a stark, silent sentinel overlooking the shifting currents. It lies 14.3 km west of La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC (from La Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-Moïse, QC: bearing 278°T), and is situated 46.9 km east of La Tuque. The air here holds a thin, metallic clarity that sharpens the edges of the surrounding spruce and granite, while the light at dusk settles in heavy, bruised purples across the water. Nearby, Lac Dangy rests in a hollow of grey stone, its surface mirroring the stillness of the deep woods, while the distant, rhythmic roar of Chutes Rickaby provides a constant, low-frequency pulse to the landscape. The geography demands a certain resilience from the land itself, where the soil is thin and the winters possess a crystalline, uncompromising weight. Life at Starvation Point follows the ancient, seasonal demands of the northern woods, where the economy remains tied to the slow, deliberate work of forestry and the quiet management of the wild. Generations have navigated these waterways, finding a measured stability in the harvesting of timber and the seasonal cycles of the bush. The cultural character of the region draws its strength from this isolation, favoring a quiet competence over the clamor of wider industry. Even now, the sound of the wind moving through the conifers serves as the primary language of the region, echoing the persistence of those who call this particular stretch of the Branche Batiscan Est home.
Starvation Point s'étire avec une humilité sauvage sur les rives de la Branche Batiscan Est, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle pour mieux épouser les aspérités du terrain. Dans ce repli de la géographie québécoise, la lumière du couchant se fragmente sur les eaux sombres, révélant une minéralité brute que les bois environnants enveloppent d'un silence quasi sacré. À peine éloigné d'un kilomètre, le Lac Dangy déploie ses reflets argentés, offrant aux habitants une quiétude héritée des temps anciens, tandis que le grondement lointain des Chutes Rickaby, situées à deux kilomètres de là, rythme la respiration forestière. L'histoire de Starvation Point se lit dans la rudesse du sol et la persistance des vents qui balaient cette portion de terre, forçant les hommes à une frugalité exemplaire. Ici, la vie se déploie selon les besoins stricts de la nature, loin des agitations urbaines, dans une communion silencieuse avec les éléments. Les résidents observent le passage des heures par le simple basculement des ombres sur les roches, préservant une tradition de solitude héritée des premiers explorateurs qui ont su reconnaître, en ces lieux, la force d'une terre exigeante autant qu'accueillante pour qui sait en respecter la mesure.
