Navigate the remote and rocky reaches of Quebec’s Lower North Shore with the professional precision of CHS Nautical Chart 4440. This essential hydrographic resource provides detailed coverage from the Îles Sainte-Marie to Île à la Brume, a region characterized by its thousands of granite islands, deep-water inlets, and the significant migratory bird sanctuaries of the Basse-Côte-Nord.

Chart 4440 offers high-resolution mapping of the intricate "inner passage" and the seaward approaches from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It features critical data on depth soundings, seabed composition, and the coastal hazards unique to this wilderness maritime corridor.
