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 Colonie-Fournière.
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.

Colonie-Fournière is a hamlet in Rivière-Héva; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Colonie-Fournière is located at 48.0646°N, 78.1511°W.
Colonie-Fournière rests amidst the dense, enduring silence of the boreal expanse, defined by the persistent presence of the Rivière Fournière. It lies 8.2 km south-south-west of Malartic, QC (from Malartic, QC: bearing 192°T), and is situated 13.4 km east-north-east of Portage-Moïse. The water of the Rivière Fournière pulls steadily through the low-lying terrain, its dark surface reflecting the shifting charcoal clouds that define the horizon here. Roughly five kilometers away, the quiet stillness of Lac Dubois offers a counterpoint to the movement of the river, acting as a basin that holds the pale, crystalline light of the northern afternoons. The air carries a sharp, metallic clarity, a cold breath that reminds those present of the vast, unyielding reach of the Canadian shield. Within the borders of Rivière-Héva and La Vallée-de-l'Or, the land remains rugged and unassuming, marked by a terrain that demands patience from those who traverse its moss-covered rises and shadowed hollows. History in Colonie-Fournière lingers in the echoes of industrial ambition, where the extraction of mineral wealth once dictated the pulse of daily life. The economy of the region maintains a firm attachment to the earth, grounded in the extraction and labor that shaped the identity of La Vallée-de-l'Or. While the clamor of past industry has softened, the influence of that era persists in the sturdy, pragmatic architecture and the stoic character of the local inhabitants. Life in Colonie-Fournière moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the changing seasons and the necessity of preparing for the long, encroaching winter. The people here share a kinship with the land, finding a quiet beauty in the way the frost clings to the banks of the Rivière Fournière during the first cold mornings of the year.
Colonie-Fournière s'étire avec une humilité silencieuse le long des rives de la Rivière Fournière, là où le sol de la Vallée-de-l'Or garde encore la mémoire des efforts acharnés de ceux qui ont défriché ces terres boréales. L'air y possède une limpidité tranchante, surtout lorsque le crépuscule dépose une lumière cuivrée sur la végétation dense, révélant la texture rugueuse d'un territoire façonné par l'industrie minière et la ténacité des premiers défricheurs. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Dubois demeure un miroir immobile, une étendue d'eau sombre qui semble absorber le souffle du vent avant qu'il n'atteigne les maisons éparpillées. Dans le quotidien de Colonie-Fournière, le rythme est dicté par le travail de la terre et l'appel des profondeurs géologiques, une existence sobre qui ne cherche point l'éclat, mais trouve sa dignité dans la persistance du labeur. Les habitations se tournent vers le cours sinueux de la Rivière Fournière, comme pour guetter le passage des jours dans une région où la nature impose sa loi austère. Ici, chaque bâtisse raconte une histoire de patience, une volonté de demeurer fidèle à ce paysage québécois qui, sans artifice, se donne tout entier à celui qui accepte de contempler son horizon dépouillé et son silence profond.
