This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Board Dam, 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 Board Dam.
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.

Board Dam is a locality in Lac-Nilgaut; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Board Dam is located at 46.4364°N, 77.7092°W.
Board Dam sits as a quiet sentinel within the rugged expanse of Pontiac, holding the stillness of the northern woods close to its weathered timber and stone. It lies 48.4 km north-north-west of Deep River, QC (from Deep River, QC: bearing 333°T), and is situated 8.2 km north-north-west of Dumoine. The landscape here is defined by the steady, dark pulse of the Rivière Poussière Ouest, which winds through the terrain near the rising slopes of the Montagne de la Ferme Mousseau. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the water in a way that suggests silver caught in shadow, while the air carries a crisp, pine-scented weight that lingers long after the sun retreats behind the ridge. Lac Chatelain waits just two kilometers away, its presence felt in the humid breath of the evening wind that travels across the low-lying basin. The history of Board Dam is tied to the persistent labor of those who navigated the timber-rich corridors of this region, shaping an economy once centered on the movement of logs and the seasonal demands of the bush. While the industry has softened over the decades, the character of the ground remains marked by this era of extraction and careful stewardship. Further afield, the Réserve écologique de l'Aigle-à-Tête-Blanche guards the integrity of the wild, providing a vast, protected reach that contrasts with the localized, human-wrought architecture of the dam itself. Life here moves with the cycle of the seasons, where the primary tradition is the observation of the changing ice and the patience required to live alongside the river’s unpredictable, shifting moods.
Board Dam s'étire dans une solitude minérale, là où le terrain se plie aux caprices de la géologie sauvage du Pontiac. À l'ombre de la Montagne de la Ferme Mousseau, le courant se fait lent et grave sur les rives de la Rivière Poussière Ouest, portant en lui les murmures d'une industrie forestière qui a façonné les contours de ces terres rudes. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une densité particulière, une limpidité qui souligne la texture des roches et le silence qui se dépose sur les fougères. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Chatelain miroite comme un éclat d'argent oublié, tandis qu'à vingt-six kilomètres, la Réserve écologique de l'Aigle-à-Tête-Blanche protège une part farouche de cette nature indomptée. Le vent, qui descend des hauteurs, semble encore garder en mémoire l'effort des hommes venus ici pour dompter le bois et l'eau, laissant Board Dam veiller sur ce passage discret entre les crêtes et les eaux sombres. La vie s'y écoule selon un rythme lent, calquée sur les cycles de la lumière qui décline sur la Rivière Poussière Ouest, transformant chaque fin de journée en une contemplation silencieuse face à l'immensité de cette forêt qui, par endroits, semble reprendre ses droits avec une lenteur impériale.

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.
Location data for Board Dam is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
