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 Baie-Carrière.
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.

Baie-Carrière is a hamlet in Val-d'Or; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Baie-Carrière is located at 47.8434°N, 78.0169°W.
Baie-Carrière rests in a quiet expanse along the edge of Réservoir Decelles, where the horizon broadens over the dark, reflective surface of the water. It lies 33.4 km south-south-west of Val-d'Or, QC (from Val-d'Or, QC: bearing 211°T), and is situated 11.6 km north of Le Camp-Garde-Feu. The air here holds a crisp, northern clarity, especially when the light of dusk lingers against the shoreline, turning the water into polished slate. While the Rivière à l'Épinette flows through the wilderness some 14 km away, the immediate terrain around Baie-Carrière feels defined by the stillness of the reservoir and the dense, observant woods that press close to the water’s edge. Eleven kilometers distant, the Réserve écologique des Caribous-de-Jourdan preserves a stretch of land that remains largely undisturbed, casting a sense of wild, ancient permanence over the surroundings. Life in Baie-Carrière moves in alignment with the changing seasons, marked by the slow freeze and thaw of the reservoir and the persistent, low hum of the wind through the spruce and pine. The local economy and history of Baie-Carrière have long been shaped by the rugged demands of the boreal landscape and the seasonal shifts of the Val-d'Or region. Residents engage with the land with a pragmatic grace, drawing on traditions that respect the isolation and the immense, open space of the Canadian Shield. The work here is often solitary and tied to the cycles of the forest, reflecting a culture that values endurance over haste. Even as modern life touches the fringes of the settlement, Baie-Carrière retains a character defined by its proximity to the water and the deep, resonant silence that settles over the landscape once the sun dips below the trees.
Baie-Carrière s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes du Réservoir Decelles, là où le ciel bas semble vouloir toucher la surface sombre des eaux. À une distance mesurée, la Rivière à l'Épinette serpente à travers un relief façonné par les âges, tandis que la Réserve écologique des Caribous-de-Jourdan protège un silence forestier qui définit l'horizon. L'air y possède cette densité particulière, chargée d'une humidité fraîche qui s'attarde sur les écorces et les rochers dès que le crépuscule dépose une lumière cuivrée sur le paysage. Les habitants de Baie-Carrière entretiennent un rapport quotidien avec ce terrain exigeant, marqué par l'activité forestière et le souvenir des terres défrichées. Ici, la vie se règle sur le mouvement lent du réservoir et sur la rigueur d'un climat qui impose sa loi, forçant une intimité avec la nature sauvage. Les gestes des travailleurs et des résidents, humbles et répétitifs, composent une existence rythmée par la présence constante de l'eau et des pins, loin des bruits du monde. Entre la Rivière à l'Épinette et la réserve protégée, la géographie dicte ses limites, créant un sentiment d'isolement qui confère à Baie-Carrière une dignité austère et impérissable.
