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 Quatre Fourches.
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.

Quatre Fourches is a locality in 21-111-8-W4, Alberta, Canada. It is classified as a town. Quatre Fourches is located at 58.6356°N, 111.3139°W.
Quatre Fourches rests within the vast, quiet expanse of Wood Buffalo National Park of Canada, a location defined by the slow movement of water and the persistence of the northern wild. It lies 12.6 km south-west of Fort Chipewyan, AB (from Fort Chipewyan, AB: bearing 226°T), and is situated 23.0 km north-north-east of Embarras Portage. The low light of late afternoon catches the reeds along the Grouroches Chere, casting long, amber shadows that seem to hold the land in a state of suspended anticipation. While the Prairie River flows through the distance some 15 km away, the immediate surroundings of Quatre Fourches remain shaped by the intricate, shifting hydrology that defines this northern geography. The air here carries a crisp, lingering chill, even in the height of summer, as if the memory of winter never fully departs from the mossy ground. Life in Quatre Fourches mirrors the seasonal shifts of the park, where the local economy and traditional ways of being align with the rhythms of the land and the endurance of Indigenous heritage. The stillness of the environment demands a deliberate way of living, one focused on the cycles of the seasons rather than the haste of the modern world. Residents often find their days marked by the changing call of the wind against the trees and the subtle, shifting colors of the sky as it transitions from the pale blue of noon to the deep, violet hues of dusk. In Quatre Fourches, the preservation of these traditions ensures that the character of the settlement remains as enduring as the protected wilderness that surrounds it.

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.
