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 Whitefish 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.

Whitefish Bay is a locality in Kenora, Ontario, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Whitefish Bay is located at 49.4016°N, 93.9521°W.
Whitefish Bay rests deep within the boreal expanse, its shoreline defined by the vast, intricate reach of Lake of the Woods. It lies 56.8 km south-east of Kenora, ON (from Kenora, ON: bearing 135°T), and is situated 0.2 km east-south-east of Pawitik. The water here holds a particular clarity, mirroring the sky with a stillness that seems to suspend the very air between the pines and the surface. Whitefish Bay is shaped by the ancient, rugged Canadian Shield, where dark stone rises through the earth to meet the expansive, cool horizon. The Wapus River flows nearby, drawing the moisture of the forest toward the greater basin, while the nearby Sioux Narrows Provincial Park preserves the quiet transition between dense woodland and the open expanse of the lake. In the late afternoon, the light turns a bruised, honeyed gold, catching the edges of the rock faces and casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the solitude of the northern terrain. Commerce and life around Whitefish Bay have long been defined by the relationship between the people and the bounty of the lake. Historically, the region relied on the natural cycles of the forest and the water, fostering a local economy that remains closely tied to seasonal harvesting, fishing, and the stewardship of the wilderness. The presence of Sioux Narrows Provincial Park highlights the importance of the environment to the local character, acting as a gateway for those who seek the isolation and the bracing, clean atmosphere of the northern woods. Daily life follows the shifting seasons, moving from the frozen, crystalline silence of winter to the sudden, vibrant surge of growth that defines the brief northern summer. The cultural identity of Whitefish Bay is deeply rooted in a long history of Indigenous presence and the enduring influence of those who first mapped these waterways. Visitors and residents alike often find that the landscape demands a certain patience, rewarding those who sit quietly to watch the way the wind moves across the surface of the lake. There are no grand monuments here, only the persistent, steady endurance of the land and the quiet legacy of the families who have maintained their connection to these shores for generations. The atmosphere is one of profound, hushed continuity, where the sound of the wind through the spruce needles serves as a constant, subtle reminder of the scale of the world beyond the reach of modern distraction.

Detailed location data for Whitefish Bay includes the postal code (P9N), telephone area code (226, 249, 289, 343, 365, 382, 416, 437, 519, 548, 613, 647, 705, 742, 807, 905). These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Canadian city or town.
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 Whitefish 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.
