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-du-Poste.
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-du-Poste is a post office in Mistissini; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Baie-du-Poste is located at 50.4122°N, 73.8756°W.
Baie-du-Poste rests upon the expansive, wind-swept shore of Lac Mistassini, where the horizon dissolves into a vast expanse of water and sky. The surrounding terrain is defined by the steady, dark presence of the Colline Kaapinsuwehpetaanuch, which stands as a silent sentinel over the movement of the seasons. Nearby, the Rivière Pipounichouane flows with a persistent, cold clarity, its currents carving through the landscape in a dialogue between stone and water that has persisted for ages. As the light fades, the atmosphere grows sharp and brittle, turning the surface of the lake into a mirror for the deepening blues of the northern twilight. The history of Baie-du-Poste is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Cree people, whose enduring connection to this land informs the character of the present day. Economic life here remains tied to the cycles of the environment, drawing sustenance and purpose from the resources of the surrounding forest and the depths of Lac Mistassini. Life in Baie-du-Poste follows the demands of the climate, where the winter chill dictates a measured pace and a focus on the warmth of home. The presence of the Rivière Pipounichouane continues to serve as a vital artery for the region, reflecting a way of existence that prioritizes the knowledge of the land over the frantic urgency of distant urban centers.
Baie-du-Poste s’éveille sous une lumière boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle des pins, là où les eaux vastes du Lac Mistassini lèchent doucement les rives rocailleuses de cette terre ancestrale. Le vent qui descend de la Colline Kaapinsuwehpetaanuch porte en lui les souvenirs des Cris, gardiens de ces horizons immenses, dont la présence habite chaque repli du terrain. Près de la Rivière Pipounichouane, le courant murmure des récits anciens à travers les cailloux polis par les glaces éternelles, tandis que le ciel du Nord-du-Québec s’étire en teintes d’améthyste et de gris perle. Baie-du-Poste conserve la dignité des lieux qui ont su protéger leur âme contre l’usure des époques, mariant la rudesse du climat à une douceur secrète, celle des foyers où le bois crépite encore en hommage aux traditions de chasse et de survie. La terre ici ne se livre pas sans une certaine réserve, imposant un respect immédiat à quiconque ose braver l'immensité de ses espaces sauvages. Dans le silence qui enveloppe les berges, il subsiste une force tranquille, une persistance qui défie l’oubli et maintient vivante la mémoire d’un peuple lié indéfectiblement à la puissance des éléments qui façonnent quotidiennement son existence.
