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 Chisasibi.
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.

Chisasibi is a cree village in Chisasibi; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Chisasibi is located at 53.7833°N, 78.9000°W.
Chisasibi rests upon the northern shores where the vast pulse of La Grande Rivière meets the edge of the world. It lies 84.4 km west of Radisson, QC (from Radisson, QC: bearing 270°T), and is situated 8.3 km south-east of Fort George. The low-slung horizon near the Colline Monkey defines the visual reach of the land, while the air carries a sharp, brine-kissed clarity that settles deep in the lungs. Sunlight here possesses a brittle brilliance, catching the surface of the water and turning the stillness of the afternoon into a shimmering, shifting mirror. Only four kilometers away, the quiet basin of Petit lac Chinusaw offers a sheltered stillness, contrasting with the persistent, outward-moving energy of the nearby river currents that shape the coastal terrain. Chisasibi emerged from a deliberate migration, a relocation that moved a people from their ancestral island home to this mainland site to accommodate the changing needs of the region. The local economy finds its footing through the administrative and service roles required to sustain life in the north, alongside a deep, ongoing reliance on traditional hunting and fishing practices. These pursuits anchor the daily life of Chisasibi, ensuring that the skills passed down through generations remain active and vital despite the arrival of modern infrastructure and regional development. The cultural character of Chisasibi flows from a profound Cree heritage, expressed through the language spoken in the hallways and the quiet, steady persistence of seasonal traditions. Life moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts, where the deep cold of winter brings a blue-shadowed silence to the land, followed by the sudden, rushing vigor of spring ice breaking along the banks of La Grande Rivière. Residents often gather in communal spaces to share stories or participate in events that celebrate a shared history, maintaining a social cohesion that feels as constant and essential as the pull of the tides against the shore.
Chisasibi s'étire avec une tranquille assurance sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large rencontre la puissance tranquille de La Grande Rivière. Le paysage se déploie sous une lumière qui semble s'attarder, étirant les ombres jusqu'à la silhouette familière de la Colline Monkey. À quelques kilomètres de là, le Petit lac Chinusaw conserve ses eaux calmes, observant le mouvement incessant de la vie cri qui anime ces terres du Nord. La présence de Chisasibi demeure indissociable de cet héritage ancestral, une continuité qui se lit dans la manière dont les habitants habitent l'espace entre le courant et la terre ferme. L'air y est vif, chargé d'une franchise qui balaye les hésitations, tandis que les embarcations glissent sur les reflets sombres des eaux. Dans les gestes quotidiens, une sagesse ancienne se transmet sans bruit, façonnant une identité qui puise sa force dans la fidélité aux rives et aux vastes horizons. Chaque soir, lorsque le soleil bascule derrière les reliefs lointains, la clarté qui enveloppe les maisons rappelle la ténacité de ceux qui ont choisi de bâtir leur existence ici, entre l'immensité du fleuve et le silence protecteur des étendues sauvages.
