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 North Bay.
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.

North Bay is a city in Nipissing, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. North Bay is located at 46.3144°N, 79.4592°W.
North Bay rests upon the northern shore of Lake Nipissing, a location defined by the rise of the landscape known as Thibeault Hill. It lies 36.4 km east of Sturgeon Falls, ON (from Sturgeon Falls, ON: bearing 99°T), and is situated 12.5 km north-west of Callander. The earth here holds a distinctive character, where the granite of the Canadian Shield meets the expansive water, and the air at dusk often carries a crisp, lingering stillness that cools the skin. Beyond the immediate waterfront, the terrain gains elevation, creating a vantage point that overlooks the vast, shimmering basin of the lake. To the west, the water of Duchesnay Falls descends with a persistent, rhythmic energy that has long defined the local topography, while the quiet passage of the La Vase River serves as a reminder of the historical routes that once linked these waters to the broader interior. The development of North Bay emerged through its significance as a vital junction for rail and transport, shifting from an early hub of resource extraction and forestry into a centre for trade and administration. This industrial heritage remains visible in the steady, pragmatic pace of the streets, where the influence of the railway continues to shape the logistical flow of commerce. North Bay has since cultivated a modern economy anchored in public service, aviation, and education, drawing strength from the presence of Nipissing University and Canadore College. The transition from the heavy labour of earlier decades to the current academic and service-oriented sectors reflects a quiet shift in the identity of the people, who maintain a grounded, industrious outlook on their daily lives. Cultural life in North Bay finds expression in a deep respect for the land and the shared history of the region, which includes the enduring presence and heritage of Indigenous peoples. The community values its connection to the outdoors, with residents frequently moving between the quiet residential slopes and the bustling activity near the water. Notable individuals, such as the actor Susan Aglukark or the hockey player Bill Barber, have roots that touch the character of the region, reflecting a diversity of talent that resonates with the local spirit. Visitors often find that North Bay sustains a balance between the demands of the modern world and the rugged, unyielding nature of the northern landscape, where the light reflecting off the lake at day’s end reveals the austere beauty of the terrain.

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 North Bay 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.
