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 Moosonee.
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.

Moosonee is a town in Cochrane, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Moosonee is located at 51.3342°N, 80.7211°W.
Moosonee rests upon the low, marshy expanse of the northern terrain, where the air possesses a sharp, crystalline clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon. It lies 11.9 km north-west of Moose Factory, ON (from Moose Factory, ON: bearing 317°T), and is situated 25.8 km north-north-east of Galeton. The landscape unfolds toward the Hudson Bay, a vast and indifferent presence that dictates the cooling breath of the seasons across the muskeg. Near the Makeshiw Hill, the earth holds a quiet, stubborn resilience, while the Kwetabohigan River winds its way through the periphery some distance away. In the stillness of an autumn evening, the light turns a bruised, translucent violet, casting long shadows that stretch across the land and settle into the hollows of the damp, moss-covered ground. The origins of Moosonee trace back to the necessity of trade and the navigation of northern waterways, serving as a vital link between the interior and the coast. Established as a terminus for the railway, the settlement grew from the ambition to connect the iron rails of the south to the subarctic shores. Families arrived to build lives among the spruce and tamarack, creating a life defined by the arrival of the train and the seasonal shifts of the ice. The history of the region is held in the memory of those who traversed these routes, a story of persistence against the sudden, biting frost that often arrives before the calendar suggests winter has truly begun. The local economy functions as a vital gateway for the surrounding region, acting as a hub for transportation and logistical support for northern outposts. Employment often centers on the movement of goods and services, with the railway providing a lifeline that persists despite the challenging topography. Nearby, Tidewater Provincial Park offers a glimpse into the natural surroundings that define the local environment, drawing those interested in the quiet majesty of the north. The work here is physical and demanding, demanding a focus on the immediate needs of a population that relies on the steady, functional operation of regional supply chains. Cultural life in Moosonee thrives on a deep sense of community that values self-reliance and the sharing of local traditions. While the settlement does not host large universities, it maintains a focus on vocational training and local schooling that prepares youth for the unique demands of life in the north. The heritage of the Indigenous peoples remains central to the identity of the region, visible in the traditional knowledge passed down through generations and the respectful way the people observe the cycles of the land. Throughout the year, small gatherings bring residents together to celebrate, finding warmth in the shared understanding of what it means to dwell so close to the edge of the world.

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 Moosonee 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.
