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 Chicoutimi-Ouest.
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.

Chicoutimi-Ouest is a administrative sector in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Chicoutimi-Ouest is located at 48.4256°N, 71.0911°W.
Chicoutimi-Ouest occupies a resilient stretch of earth where the persistent currents of the Rivière Chicoutimi converge toward the broader reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 2.2 km west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 262°T), and is situated 2.1 km west-north-west of Chicoutimi. The terrain here gathers strength near the rise of Le Grand Coteau, where the land tilts toward the water with a quiet, persistent gravity. Just a short distance away, the constant, rushing energy of Chutes Price punctuates the air with a low, percussive hum that defines the local atmosphere. While the distant, rugged silhouettes of Parc national des Monts-Valin loom thirty kilometers to the north, the immediate horizon remains dominated by the riparian edges of the river and the hidden, still basins like Lac Mon Repos, situated eight kilometers away. As the light wanes at dusk, the moisture rising from the riverbanks catches a pale, silver clarity, turning the surrounding topography into a study of shadow and cooling stone. The development of Chicoutimi-Ouest draws its character from the industrial vitality of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, where the exploitation of hydraulic power has long dictated the flow of human activity. Generations have navigated the seasonal shifts of this northern climate, building a life that mirrors the reliability of the river’s path. The local economy persists through a blend of traditional enterprise and the steady, pragmatic pace of those who live in close proximity to the water's edge. Even as the modern day moves forward, Chicoutimi-Ouest retains a distinct, grounded identity, shaped by the practical demands of its geography and the enduring presence of the timber and power industries that first anchored the people here. In the early morning, the cold air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the buildings, grounding the daily routines of the inhabitants in the stark, honest reality of the north.
Chicoutimi-Ouest se déploie avec une sérénité singulière sur les rives de la Rivière Chicoutimi, là où le courant semble retenir son souffle avant de poursuivre sa course vers le Saint-Laurent. La lumière du crépuscule y possède une texture particulière, une clarté presque liquide qui caresse les reliefs du Grand Coteau et souligne la robustesse des terres façonnées par une longue tradition de labeur agricole et forestier. À proximité, le grondement sourd des Chutes Price rythme la respiration du paysage, rappelant la puissance hydraulique qui a autrefois dicté le destin des hommes venus s'établir ici. Tandis que le regard porte vers l'horizon, l'on devine la silhouette majestueuse du Parc national des Monts-Valin qui veille sur la région, contrastant avec la quiétude des rives où le Lac Mon Repos offre un miroir immobile au ciel changeant. Chicoutimi-Ouest conserve cette humilité des lieux qui ont su grandir sans se renier, mariant le souvenir de ses fondateurs aux exigences d'une vie moderne qui s'écoule entre ces eaux froides et ces terres fertiles. Le vent qui descend des hauteurs apporte une fraîcheur vive, rappelant aux habitants la proximité des éléments sauvages qui encadrent leur quotidien, faisant de chaque journée une patiente observation de la nature.
