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 Kewagama.
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.

Kewagama is a locality in Rouyn-Noranda; Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Kewagama is located at 48.2339°N, 78.4133°W.
Kewagama rests within the rugged, ancient heart of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, where the earth holds a quiet, stoic presence beneath the vast northern sky. It lies 23.8 km west-north-west of Malartic, QC (from Malartic, QC: bearing 297°T), and is situated 14.6 km west of Rivière-Héva. The land here is defined by a dense, resilient forest that stretches toward the horizon, punctuated by the stillness of Lac Bonchamp, which sits five kilometers away like a polished mirror reflecting the shifting clouds. When the light fades at dusk, the air takes on a crisp, metallic edge, carrying the scent of damp pine needles and stone. While the Rivière Blake flows six kilometers from the center of Kewagama, its presence is felt in the moisture that clings to the evening shadows, grounding the landscape in a cycle of slow, deliberate growth. The history of Kewagama is deeply rooted in the mineral wealth that once drew prospectors into these dense woods, shaping an economy that has long balanced industry with the raw demands of the wilderness. People here maintain a practical, steady pace, mindful of the distance to larger centers like Parc national d'Aiguebelle, which lies thirty-nine kilometers away as a reminder of the wilder reaches of the province. Life in Kewagama moves with the seasons, from the heavy silence of deep winter to the brief, fervent energy of the short summer months. This locality persists through its connection to the land, finding its character in the strength of its people and the enduring, unadorned beauty of the Canadian Shield.
Kewagama s'étire sur les terres rudes de l'Abitibi, là où la terre garde en mémoire le labeur des hommes et le souffle des forêts anciennes. Sous la lumière cuivrée du crépuscule, le sol semble retenir la chaleur minérale d'un sous-sol généreux qui a façonné l'identité profonde de ces lieux. La Rivière Blake serpente avec une lenteur tranquille à six kilomètres de distance, offrant à la faune un refuge discret dans le calme des boisés, tandis que les eaux du Lac Bonchamp, situées à cinq kilomètres, captent les reflets changeants d'un ciel immense. À trente-neuf kilomètres, les reliefs du Parc national d'Aiguebelle dessinent une ligne plus abrupte à l'horizon, rappelant la puissance sauvage de la géologie régionale. Le quotidien à Kewagama se rythme selon une persévérance silencieuse, portée par les héritages miniers et la rudesse bienveillante des hivers interminables. Les habitants habitent ce territoire avec une dignité sobre, conscients que chaque jour de travail ou de repos s'inscrit dans une géographie marquée par l'immensité. Ici, le vent porte les effluves de la résine et de la terre retournée, créant une atmosphère où le silence n'est jamais vide, mais chargé de la présence invisible des générations qui ont bâti leur existence sur ces plateaux québécois.
