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 Barraute.
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.

Barraute is a municipality in Barraute; Abitibi, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Barraute is located at 48.4384°N, 77.6368°W.
Barraute rests within a landscape defined by the deliberate, steady movement of the Rivière Laflamme, which carves a path through the low-lying terrain. It lies 29.7 km west of Senneterre, QC (from Senneterre, QC: bearing 280°T), and is situated 28.0 km east-north-east of La Corne. The horizon finds its primary anchor in the Montagne de la Tour, a presence that commands the view and holds the shifting light of the Abitibi sky. Nearby, the water of Lac Audet stays tucked within the forest, offering a mirror to the stillness that settles over the land as the sun recedes. The air here carries a crisp, boreal sharpness, a reminder of the vast, wooded distances that press against the edges of Barraute and define its quiet, persistent posture. The local economy of Barraute draws its character from the earth and the timber that has long sustained the people of this region. Generations have cultivated the surrounding soil or turned to the forest, maintaining a way of life that values the physical labor of extraction and harvest. Traditional practices in forestry and agriculture dictate the pace of the year, marking the seasons through the turning of fields and the processing of wood. Within Barraute, the human pulse aligns with these cycles, favoring a practical, grounded existence where the heritage of settlement remains visible in the sturdy architecture and the enduring focus on land-based industry.
Barraute s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les terres de l'Abitibi, là où l'horizon se fragmente en une succession de plaines et de forêts boréales. La lumière du soir y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui souligne la présence immobile de la Montagne de la Tour, veillant sur les activités humaines depuis les hauteurs du relief. À proximité, le cours sinueux de la Rivière Laflamme sculpte le sol, offrant une respiration humide à ce paysage marqué par l'effort pionnier et l'exploitation des richesses du sous-sol. Les eaux calmes du Lac Audet, situées à un jet de pierre, agissent comme un miroir sombre où le ciel se dépose avec une précision troublante. Barraute puise sa force dans cette géographie rigoureuse, façonnée par des générations ayant su dompter une terre ingrate pour y installer les racines d'une existence durable. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'odeur des épinettes et de la terre retournée par les machines agricoles, rappelant sans cesse que chaque bâtiment, chaque route, est le produit d'une volonté farouche. Ici, la vie se déroule dans une humilité silencieuse, rythmée par l'alternance des travaux des champs et la persistance d'une industrie qui refuse de s'effacer, maintenant Barraute dans une dignité austère et sereine.
