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 Station de recherche Manicouagan.
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.

Station de recherche Manicouagan is a research station in Pointe-aux-Outardes; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Station de recherche Manicouagan is located at 49.1158°N, 68.3014°W.
Station de recherche Manicouagan rests upon the low-lying edges of the St. Lawrence, where the shifting tides dictate the pulse of the shoreline. It lies 16.1 km south-west of Baie-Comeau, QC (from Baie-Comeau, QC: bearing 223°T), and is situated 12.8 km east-north-east of Ragueneau. The land here is defined by the steady, dark flow of the Rivière Saint-Athanase Ouest, a waterway that cuts through the brush toward the salt-heavy air of the coast. Only three kilometers inland, the stillness of Lac Castor mirrors the vast, pale sky, grounding the landscape in a quiet, undisturbed serenity. As the sun dips toward the horizon, the light catches the reeds and marsh grasses, turning the damp earth into a spectrum of muted bronze and charcoal that feels ancient and waiting. The presence of Station de recherche Manicouagan marks a shift in the local character, bridging the transition between traditional coastal life and the pursuit of ecological understanding. While the economy of the surrounding region has long leaned on the bounty of the water and the timber of the boreal fringe, this facility serves as a sentinel for the environmental health of the St. Lawrence. The daily activities here follow the demands of the seasons, moving from the sharp, biting clarity of winter to the humid, insect-humming intensity of the short summer. Life in this corner of Quebec carries the weight of a frontier, yet it remains defined by a deep, observant patience that respects the resilience of the surrounding wild.
Station de recherche Manicouagan se dresse avec une humilité studieuse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme de Pointe-aux-Outardes.

À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac Castor demeure un miroir immobile, une présence silencieuse qui ponctue le paysage boréal de sa sérénité minérale. Autour de Station de recherche Manicouagan, le relief se déploie en vastes étendues où la lumière de fin de journée dépose une patine dorée sur la végétation basse, révélant la texture brute du sol et le travail patient de ceux qui observent ces écosystèmes. L'activité scientifique y suit le rythme lent des marées, dans une atmosphère dépouillée de tout artifice où chaque geste compte. Les vents qui remontent le fleuve portent le souvenir des traditions maritimes et le poids d'une nature indomptée, rappelant aux occupants de ces lieux combien l'observation minutieuse est nécessaire pour comprendre la fragilité de cet environnement. Ici, la rigueur de la recherche se confond avec la solitude majestueuse du rivage, offrant un refuge pour la connaissance au bord des grandes eaux froides.
