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 Schreiber.
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.

Schreiber is a compact rural community in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Schreiber is located at 48.8093°N, 87.2661°W.
Schreiber rests upon the rugged, enduring stone along the northern shore of Lake Superior, cradled by the upward reach of the Walker Lake Hill. It lies 12.4 km west-north-west of Terrace Bay, ON (from Terrace Bay, ON: bearing 284°T), and is situated 18.9 km east of Rossport. The air here holds the sharp, clean scent of deep water and pine, a bracing clarity that defines the transition from the lake’s vast, restless horizon to the rising elevation of the surrounding terrain. As dusk descends, the light catches the metallic glint of the rock faces, casting long, bruised shadows that emphasize the solitude of the landscape. Within the wider region, the Aguasabon River flows through the wilder reaches about 9 km away, while the persistent descent of Snake Falls marks the earth approximately 8 km from the center of activity. The history of Schreiber emerged from the immense ambition of railway construction, which necessitated a permanent foothold amidst the formidable Canadian Shield. For generations, the livelihood of residents stayed linked to the iron pulse of the tracks and the demands of the forest, creating a resilient local economy that values hard work and mechanical precision. Even as industry has shifted, the infrastructure of the line continues to dictate the orientation of the buildings and the movement of the day. The proximity of natural landmarks such as Rainbow Falls Provincial Park, situated 10 km away, draws those who seek the quietude of the woods, where the stillness is broken only by the sudden, percussive spray of water against moss-covered granite. The cultural character of Schreiber reflects a stoic, northern resilience, where the isolation is countered by a tight coherence among those who call this steep ground home. Life here follows the seasonal turning of the lake, from the ice-locked silence of deep winter to the sudden, explosive green of a brief summer. While the modern world moves with frantic haste, the people of Schreiber maintain a steady focus on the immediate tasks of the day, finding contentment in the vast, unpopulated horizons that surround them. The heritage of the region remains visible in the functional architecture and the rugged self-reliance of its inhabitants, who exist in a constant, quiet dialogue with the imposing physical scale of the lake and the hills.

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 Schreiber 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.
