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 Cann.
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.

Cann is a hamlet in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Cann is located at 47.9029°N, 73.8813°W.
Cann rests within the rugged expanse of the Mauricie region, positioned firmly along the steady, dark currents of the Rivière Saint-Maurice. It lies 5.8 km west-north-west of Manouane, QC (from Manouane, QC: bearing 283°T), and is situated 6.4 km west of Sanmaur. The land here holds the quiet weight of the Canadian Shield, where the forest presses close against the water’s edge and the air carries a crisp, lingering scent of pine and damp stone. Nearby, the stillness of Lac Matcimackiki offers a serene counterpoint to the persistent movement of the river, its surface reflecting the long, violet shadows that stretch across the valley as the sun dips below the tree line. In these moments, the water becomes a mirror for the sky, holding a clarity that makes the surrounding wilderness feel both immense and intimate. The history of Cann remains tied to the expansion of rail and the extraction of timber, industries that once defined the pace of life for those who built their homes in this remote corridor. While the modern economy has shifted, the legacy of these early workers persists in the way the settlement clings to the banks, honoring a tradition of resilience against the northern climate. Life in Cann moves with a deliberate, observant quality, shaped by the seasonal turn of the ice and the deep, resonant silence that settles over the woods when the wind dies down. People here know the temper of the Rivière Saint-Maurice as well as they know their own thresholds, finding a steady purpose in the daily routines that keep the spirit of the settlement alive amidst the vast, enduring landscape.
Cann s'étire avec une humilité silencieuse sur les rives de la Rivière Saint-Maurice, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers le sud. Le paysage se déploie dans une rigueur forestière typique de la Mauricie, marquée par le passage discret du train qui a autrefois donné sa raison d'être à ce point de passage. À peine à deux kilomètres de distance, le Lac Matcimackiki repose dans une quiétude minérale, ses eaux sombres captant les derniers éclats d'un soleil qui décline derrière les conifères. Cann conserve cette allure propre aux lieux forgés par l'industrie ferroviaire et l'exploitation forestière, où les habitations semblent s'être posées sur le sol comme des objets familiers abandonnés par le hasard. L'air y possède une texture dense, chargée d'une humidité qui monte des berges à la fin du jour, enveloppant les arbres d'une brume légère. Les habitants habitués au rythme des convois et au bruissement constant de la Rivière Saint-Maurice cultivent une existence sobre, tournée vers l'horizon fermé des bois. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule ne cherche pas à briller, elle s'installe avec une lenteur profonde, transformant le relief en une succession d'ombres allongées qui soulignent la persistance de Cann dans cet environnement sauvage et magnifique.

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.
