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 Authier-Nord.
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.

Authier-Nord is a municipality in Authier-Nord; Abitibi-Ouest, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Authier-Nord is located at 48.8386°N, 78.8617°W.
Authier-Nord rests within the quiet expanse of the Abitibi-Ouest region, defined by the low, sheltering presence of the Collines Nissing. It lies 25.4 km east of La Sarre, QC (from La Sarre, QC: bearing 82°T), and is situated 13.8 km north-east of Macamic. The Petite rivière Bellefeuille traces a deliberate path through the landscape, its dark waters reflecting the heavy, bruised light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain is marked by a persistent, scrubby resilience, where the air holds the sharp, metallic tang of coming frost. Lac Désormeaux sits tucked into the surrounding terrain only 3 km away, a still mirror under the vast northern sky. Further out, the sprawling wilderness of Parc national d'Aiguebelle waits 38 km away, a reminder of the dense, untamed forests that guard the horizon. Life in Authier-Nord follows the cycles of the earth and the demands of a rural economy rooted in the tenacity of those who work the land. The settlement emerged from the steady efforts of pioneers who sought to clear space among the trees, turning stubborn ground into a livelihood. Today, the pace is quiet, dictated by the turning seasons and the maintenance of a life lived close to the elements. While industrial shifts have altered the course of many neighboring districts, Authier-Nord retains a character shaped by its isolation and the practicalities of its geography. The people here understand the weight of the winter silence, a stillness that settles over the fields and the Petite rivière Bellefeuille, leaving the land to wait for the thaw.
Authier-Nord se déploie avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses de l'Abitibi-Ouest, là où le relief s'incline doucement vers les Collines Nissing. Le regard s'attarde volontiers sur le tracé de la Petite rivière Bellefeuille, dont les eaux suivent une course patiente à travers un territoire façonné par le labeur agricole et le courage des premiers défricheurs. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Désormeaux offre une surface calme, miroir fragile des ciels changeants qui survolent Authier-Nord. Plus loin, vers l'horizon, le Parc national d'Aiguebelle rappelle la rudesse et la splendeur des formations géologiques anciennes. L'air y possède une limpidité particulière, surtout lorsque le crépuscule étire les ombres des épinettes sur les champs dégagés, rendant chaque battisse de bois et chaque chemin de terre plus nets, presque silencieux. La vie quotidienne ici se calque sur le rythme de la terre, une existence sans artifice où les habitants entretiennent un lien direct avec les éléments. Il subsiste dans ces espaces une sérénité sauvage, une manière d'être au monde qui ne demande rien d'autre que la présence du vent, la clarté des matins givrés et la continuité immuable des horizons boréaux.

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.
