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 Wickenden.
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.

Wickenden is a locality in L'Île-d'Anticosti; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Wickenden is located at 49.5483°N, 63.0886°W.
Wickenden stands as a quiet presence along the Rivière à la Patate, where the low light of the north catches the dark, shifting currents of the water. It lies 85.6 km south-south-east of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 155°T), and is situated 47.8 km south-east of Tour-de-la-Rivière-à-l'Huile. The surrounding terrain holds a stillness that defines the island, with Lac de la Tête resting only a kilometer away like a polished stone set into the earth. Here, the air carries a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the spruce trees against a pale sky. The land itself is resilient, marked by the slow, persistent movement of the river as it carves its way toward the coast. Life in Wickenden follows the seasonal shifts of the island, shaped by the vast, protected expanses of Parc national d'Anticosti located nineteen kilometers away. While the economy remains modest and tied to the natural rhythms of the island, the residents maintain a deep, practical knowledge of the woods and the waterways that define their daily existence. History here is found in the quiet persistence of those who live within the reach of the forest’s shadow, far from the noise of more populous regions. Evening brings a heavy, velvet silence to the horizon, leaving Wickenden to settle under the stars in a way that feels both ancient and entirely present.
Wickenden s’étire avec une simplicité austère le long des rives sauvages de la Rivière à la Patate, là où l’air marin imprègne chaque pierre d’une humidité persistante. La lumière déclinante du soir transforme les herbes hautes en une étendue cuivrée, tandis que le silence, seulement rompu par le courant discret de l’eau, enveloppe le relief singulier de ce secteur de Minganie. À peine à un kilomètre de distance, le Lac de la Tête repose dans une quiétude minérale, offrant un contraste saisissant avec la rudesse du littoral. À dix-neuf kilomètres de là, le Parc national d'Anticosti impose sa présence monumentale, façonnant l’horizon par ses falaises et ses forêts denses qui semblent veiller sur Wickenden. Ici, l’existence suit le rythme lent des marées et des vents qui balaient les terres, loin de l’agitation des grands centres. La vie s’organise autour de cette géographie dépouillée où chaque habitant connaît le poids du ciel et la morsure du froid. Les racines de Wickenden demeurent liées à cette terre insulaire, une terre de roche et de résineux où la mémoire des anciens se transmet par le geste plutôt que par le discours, conservant intacte la rudesse fière de ce coin de pays.

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.
