This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Flin Flon, Manitoba. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Flin Flon.
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.

Flin Flon is a city in Manitoba, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Flin Flon is located at 54.7681°N, 101.8642°W.
Flin Flon sits amidst a rugged expanse of the Canadian Shield, where the earth reveals its ancient, jagged bones through outcrops of Precambrian rock. It lies 37.3 km west-north-west of Cranberry Portage, MB (from Cranberry Portage, MB: bearing 303°T), and is situated 2.6 km north-west of Channing. The landscape is defined by a deep clarity of light, particularly at dusk when the sun catches the dark, still surface of Ross Lake, which lies right at the doorstep of the settlement. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the terrain holds a quiet, austere beauty, with the Pineroot River flowing through the wilder reaches about 14 km away. The air here carries a sharp, clean edge, a constant reminder of the vast, northern horizon that shapes the daily experience of everyone living in Flin Flon. The origin of Flin Flon is inextricably tied to the discovery of rich ore deposits that drew prospectors into the wilderness long ago. These early pioneers transformed a remote, rocky outpost into a permanent settlement, driven by the lure of copper and zinc beneath the surface. Over the decades, the growth of the site followed the rhythm of the mines, creating a distinct character that reflects a hard-won resilience. The men and women who arrived to carve a life from the stone brought with them a tenacity that persists in the architecture and the very layout of the streets, which twist to accommodate the unforgiving, uneven terrain. Industry serves as the heartbeat of the regional economy, with mining operations long serving as the primary engine that drives local prosperity. The processing of minerals has necessitated a specialized infrastructure that marks the skyline, casting long shadows over the nearby natural features. While the work is demanding, the surrounding environment offers a necessary counterpoint, as the nearby Mikanagan Falls, located about 14 km away, demonstrates the raw power of the water that moves through the region. Many residents find their balance by retreating to the nearby Bakers Narrows Provincial Park, situated about 16 km away, where the focus shifts from the industrial output to the quiet stillness of the boreal forest. Cultural life in Flin Flon thrives through a deep appreciation for the arts and a strong sense of collective identity that celebrates local achievements. Notable figures such as the hockey player Bobby Clarke have emerged from these surroundings, carrying the grit of the north into their professional lives. The community maintains a vibrant spirit, often gathering for seasonal events that highlight a shared history and a commitment to maintaining a meaningful life in a challenging climate. Whether through the pursuit of creative endeavors or the simple act of navigating the uneven, rocky paths that define the local topography, the people here maintain a clear-eyed perspective on their home.

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.
Location data for Flin Flon is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
