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 Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile.
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.

Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile rests upon the rugged, expansive shores of the St. Lawrence, where the insistent pulse of the salt tide meets the persistent flow of the Rivière à la Loutre. It lies 49.0 km south of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 182°T), and is situated 41.2 km east-south-east of Cap-de-Rabast. The landscape surrounding Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile is defined by the heavy, damp breath of the sea and the quiet solitude of the northern woods, with the stillness of Lac Thérèse situated only a short distance away to provide a mirror for the shifting coastal clouds. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular, bruised clarity, illuminating the dark spruce and the limestone geology that characterizes this remote reach of L'Île-d'Anticosti. The history of Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile is bound to the wild, maritime isolation of Minganie, reflecting an economy long shaped by the seasonal migrations of the northern waters and the rugged necessities of the frontier. Life proceeds with a measured intensity, where the inhabitants attend to the demands of the environment with a quiet competence, their daily routines echoing the persistence of the Rivière à la Loutre as it carves its path toward the sea. The traditions of the region persist in the simple, bracing sharpness of the air and the endurance of those who find beauty in the stark, unyielding edges of this island shore.
Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile se déploie avec une humilité minérale sur les rives vastes du Saint-Laurent, où l'air marin charge le souffle de ceux qui habitent ce littoral sauvage. Le regard se perd vers les eaux salées, tandis que, tout près, le cours tranquille de la Rivière à la Loutre serpente à travers un relief façonné par la rudesse des vents septentrionaux. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Lac Thérèse conserve une immobilité profonde, comme un miroir oublieux des tumultes du large. La lumière du soir y possède une densité particulière, étirant les ombres sur un sol où la terre, ingrate mais fidèle, semble retenir la mémoire des premiers passages. L’économie de Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile se plie encore aux caprices des marées et aux cycles naturels, imposant une patience qui forge le tempérament des habitants. Ici, le silence n’est jamais vide, il est le bruissement des roseaux le long de la Rivière à la Loutre et le ressac incessant du Saint-Laurent qui scande la durée des jours. La vie suit un rythme lent, calqué sur la persistance des éléments, loin des frénésies du monde, dans une solitude qui se trouve être la forme la plus pure de la liberté.
