This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Abana, Quebec. 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 Abana.
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.

Abana is a hamlet in Normétal; Abitibi-Ouest, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Abana is located at 48.9524°N, 79.3396°W.
Abana rests upon the rugged, resilient earth of Abitibi-Ouest, where the land rises toward the Coteau Francœur in a quiet display of geological persistence. It lies 19.0 km north-north-west of La Sarre, QC (from La Sarre, QC: bearing 329°T), and is situated 15.3 km north-east of La Reine. The horizon here holds a particular clarity, especially when the late afternoon light catches the low-lying brush, casting long shadows that seem to anchor the terrain against the encroaching sky. Lac Des Méloizes sits six kilometers away, its presence offering a stillness that mirrors the steady, deliberate pace of those who live near its shores. Further out, the Rivière Chaboillez carves its path through the landscape, flowing eleven kilometers from Abana as if tracing the very arteries of the region. The air carries a crisp, boreal sharpness that clarifies the senses, grounding the observer in the immediate, tangible reality of the Canadian shield. The history of Abana remains tied to the hard-won gains of agricultural settlement and the persistent labor required to clear and cultivate this northern frontier. Local life draws its character from a legacy of self-reliance, with the economy lingering in the quiet spaces between traditional farming and the extraction industries that define the broader Abitibi region. Every morning, the movement of the community reflects a deep familiarity with the cycle of the seasons, where the cold demands as much respect as the brief, intense burst of summer growth. People here move with an economy of gesture, shaped by a world where the land requires constant attention and the silence of the woods is a constant, watchful companion.
Abana se déploie sur les terres basses de l'Abitibi-Ouest avec une persévérance qui semble puiser sa force dans la rudesse même du climat boréal. Le sol, marqué par l'héritage des pionniers venus briser la terre pour y établir leurs fermes, conserve une mémoire vive du labeur agricole qui a façonné les horizons plats de ce secteur près de Coteau Francœur. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Des Méloizes offre une étendue d'eau calme où le ciel vient se déposer dans un silence absolu, tandis que la Rivière Chaboillez trace un sillon discret à travers la végétation dense, imposant son rythme lent à la topographie environnante. La lumière du crépuscule glisse sur ces étendues, révélant la texture minérale et sauvage d'un paysage qui n'a rien concédé à l'oubli. Abana porte en elle cette rigueur des espaces isolés, une solitude habitée où chaque demeure semble guetter le retour des saisons de gel. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur tranchante qui rappelle sans cesse la proximité des grands espaces nordiques, invitant à une existence dépouillée de tout artifice. La présence du Lac Des Méloizes et le murmure lointain de la Rivière Chaboillez composent une géographie de l'essentiel, une réalité brute qui se livre pleinement à celui qui sait observer la patience des champs sous l'immensité du ciel.

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.
