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 Coalpit Bay.
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.

Coalpit Bay is a hamlet in Kipawa; Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Coalpit Bay is located at 46.7706°N, 78.9867°W.
Coalpit Bay rests as a quiet indentation along the expansive, irregular shoreline of Lac Kipawa. It lies 9.7 km east-north-east of Témiscaming, QC (from Témiscaming, QC: bearing 56°T), and is situated 5.5 km east-north-east of Kipawa. The water here holds a heavy, dark clarity, reflecting the dense wall of conifers that march right to the edge of the granite outcrops. At dusk, the light loses its sharp edge, turning the surface of the lake into a sheet of hammered pewter that seems to swallow the sound of the wind. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the landscape remains rugged and unforgiving, characterized by the raw, stubborn endurance of the Canadian Shield. The Rivière Beauchêne flows through the broader region, a distant pulse of moving water roughly 14 km away, while the protected reaches of Parc national d'Opémican stand 21 km off, preserving the wild character that defines the horizon. Coalpit Bay carries a name that hints at the industrial ambitions of an earlier era, when the search for fuel and timber drove men into the interior to carve a living from the bush. Today, the economy of Coalpit Bay leans into the stillness of the wilderness, drawing those who seek the solitude of the north. Life here moves according to the seasons, dictated by the freezing and thawing of the ice and the long, amber-hued days of the short summer. The presence of the forest creates a profound sense of isolation, where the primary tradition is the maintenance of a life lived close to the elements. Locals understand that the land does not offer itself up easily, and there is a particular respect in the way they navigate the trails and waterways that have served as the only true arteries of this country for generations.
Coalpit Bay s'étire le long des rives sombres du Lac Kipawa, où les eaux profondes retiennent les derniers éclats d'un jour déclinant. La lumière, en se brisant sur la surface, révèle une terre aux reliefs accidentés, marquée par le travail ancien des hommes qui, jadis, extrayaient de ces sols les ressources nécessaires à l'essor industriel du Témiscamingue. Le silence qui enveloppe Coalpit Bay semble porter en lui le souvenir des activités forestières et minières, une présence sourde qui se mêle au souffle du vent traversant les futaies. Non loin, la Rivière Beauchêne poursuit son cours discret, tandis que les vastes étendues protégées du Parc national d'Opémican dessinent, à quelques lieues, une frontière sauvage et indomptée. Ici, la rudesse du climat forge une identité austère, faite d'une attente patiente devant l'immensité des horizons. Les pins, rigides sous le ciel gris, observent le passage des heures, transformant chaque crépuscule en une méditation sur la permanence du paysage. Les habitants, héritiers d'une mémoire façonnée par les cycles de l'eau et de la forêt, perçoivent dans ce décor une beauté dépouillée, loin des artifices, où la terre exige une présence entière et une vigilance constante devant la majesté indifférente du Lac Kipawa.

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.
