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 Castagnier.
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.

Castagnier is a hamlet in La Morandière-Rochebaucourt; Abitibi, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Castagnier is located at 48.7342°N, 77.8214°W.
Castagnier sits within the quiet expanse of La Morandière-Rochebaucourt, where the land holds the stillness of the Abitibi region in its grip. It lies 28.5 km north-east of Amos, QC (from Amos, QC: bearing 49°T), and is situated 22.6 km north-north-east of Landrienne. The terrain around Castagnier is defined by the steady, dark movement of the Rivière Castagnier, which carves a path through the forest toward the nearby Collines Béarn. Only two kilometers away, the surface of Lac Benoît reflects the pale, northern light, acting as a mirror for the shifting clouds that drift over the spruce and pine. At dusk, the air grows sharp and thin, carrying a metallic clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the trees against the horizon. The landscape here does not demand attention with grand gestures, but rather offers a persistent, cold beauty that reveals itself to those who watch the water settle into the evening. Life in Castagnier has long been shaped by the necessity of working the land and the forest, a quiet persistence that defines the local character. The economy remains rooted in the natural yields of the Abitibi, with the rhythm of the days dictated by the seasons and the demands of the timber and agricultural lands that surround the settlement. While the pace of life remains deliberate, the people of Castagnier carry a deep familiarity with the isolation of the bush and the resilience required to thrive in such a vast, northern environment. The legacy of those who first cleared this ground survives in the sturdy, unadorned architecture and the way the locals navigate the changing weather, finding a steady comfort in the vastness that stretches out from the banks of the Rivière Castagnier.
Castagnier s'étire avec une humilité silencieuse sous un ciel vaste, là où les Collines Béarn dessinent une ligne sombre et protectrice contre l'horizon boréal. La Rivière Castagnier serpente à travers ce territoire d'Abitibi, offrant ses eaux calmes aux reflets changeants du crépuscule, tandis que le Lac Benoît, blotti à quelques kilomètres, garde le secret des brumes matinales qui s'élèvent au-dessus des terres. L'existence ici se mesure au rythme lent des travaux agricoles et à la persistance du bois qui façonne le quotidien des familles, dans une solitude qui n'est jamais vraiment vide. Le sol généreux, bien que rude, rappelle les labeurs des pionniers venus défricher ces étendues sauvages pour y bâtir des foyers durables. Chaque battement de Castagnier semble synchronisé avec la respiration lente de la forêt environnante, cette présence végétale qui semble vouloir reprendre ses droits dès que le silence revient. Les habitants cultivent une fierté discrète, héritée d'une volonté de s'établir sur ces terres éloignées, loin des tumultes urbains, privilégiant une vie tournée vers la rigueur du climat et la beauté austère des horizons plats. Sous la lumière dorée de fin de journée, les champs et les boisés se fondent dans une unité paisible, confirmant que la vie ici demeure une conquête quotidienne sur l'immensité.
