This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Moose Factory, Ontario. 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 Moose Factory.
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.

Moose Factory is a compact rural community in Cochrane, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Moose Factory is located at 51.2555°N, 80.6049°W.
Moose Factory rests upon the low, resilient earth along the banks of the Moose River, where the horizon feels vast and the air carries the sharp, clean scent of northern waters. It lies 11.9 km south-east of Moosonee, ON (from Moosonee, ON: bearing 137°T), and is situated 25.3 km east-north-east of Galeton. The landscape is defined by the proximity of the Askaskwayau Ridge, which rises with a quiet permanence above the surrounding flats. During the long, lingering hours of dusk, the light catches the surface of the river, turning the moving water into a sheet of hammered silver that reflects the expansive northern sky. Tidewater Provincial Park sits just 3 km away, offering a space where the stillness of the boreal environment asserts itself, undisturbed by the rush of more crowded latitudes. The history of Moose Factory is anchored in the fur trade, a legacy that shaped the early interactions between the land and those who sought to navigate its complex waterways. While the North French River flows about 15 km away, the local economy continues to draw strength from the riverine geography, balancing traditional practices with modern employment in administration, education, and health services. Daily life in Moose Factory holds a steady, grounded quality, where the work of the day follows the necessary cycles of the seasons. Residents often find their routines directed by the cold, clear influence of the climate, ensuring that every task is performed with a deliberate, focused intent. Indigenous heritage forms the bedrock of life in Moose Factory, manifesting in the deep knowledge of the land and the endurance of cultural traditions that have persisted for generations. The community maintains a distinct character, marked by a commitment to preserving the customs that define their identity in this northern setting. Whether gathering for local events or navigating the changing landscape near the Askaskwayau Ridge, the people carry themselves with a calm grace that matches the austere beauty of the terrain. The presence of the river remains a central constant, providing both a physical connection to the wider world and a reminder of the quiet, powerful forces that have governed life here since the beginning.

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 Moose Factory 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.
