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 Kotowakan.
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.

Kotowakan is a locality in La Tuque; Mauricie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Kotowakan is located at 47.8761°N, 73.8317°W.
Kotowakan sits in the deep, northern reaches of La Tuque, where the land yields to the persistent, dark passage of the Rivière Manouane. It lies 2.6 km south-west of Manouane, QC (from Manouane, QC: bearing 228°T), and is situated 3.2 km south-west of Sanmaur. The weight of the spruce forest presses against the banks, and the air carries a sharp, resinous edge that clings to the skin long after the sun dips behind the treeline. Only two kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Bréhard holds the reflection of the sky with a mirror-like intensity that makes the water feel heavier, as if it were pooling the very silence of the woods. During the brief, brilliant clarity of the afternoon, the light turns the Rivière Manouane into a ribbon of hammered silver, cutting through the dense, shadowed terrain of the Mauricie. Life in Kotowakan moves in accordance with the demands of the wilderness, where the economy has long been shaped by the quiet, industrial endurance of forestry and the harvesting of timber. The history of Kotowakan persists in the steady, utilitarian pulse of the local camps and the seasonal movement of men working the timber line. Knowledge of the bush is passed down through the quiet expertise of those who navigate the Rivière Manouane, ensuring that the legacy of this remote outpost remains tied to the cycles of the boreal forest. Even as the modern world shifts, the people here maintain a focused, deliberate way of being, finding a particular beauty in the stark, unyielding demands of the northern landscape.
Kotowakan s’étire avec une simplicité grave le long des rives de la Rivière Manouane, là où la terre de La Tuque se fait dense, presque impénétrable sous le poids des conifères. À peine à deux kilomètres de là, le Lac Bréhard offre ses eaux calmes aux reflets d’un ciel changeant, composant une étendue où le silence possède une texture presque minérale. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur le relief avec une lenteur recueillie, révélant la rudesse d’un sol qui a longtemps exigé une patience infinie de ceux qui s’y sont installés. Le courant de la Rivière Manouane dicte un rythme ancien, une pulsation sourde qui accompagne les gestes quotidiens des résidents, héritiers d’une présence autochtone profonde dont les échos persistent dans le souffle du vent entre les troncs. Kotowakan ne cherche pas à se donner en spectacle ; sa vérité réside dans l’austérité de ses horizons et dans cette manière unique dont l’air frais, chargé d’effluves résineux, semble suspendre le cours des heures. Les habitants observent les variations du Lac Bréhard comme on lit un livre ouvert, trouvant dans la constance de ces eaux sombres une forme de sérénité qui défie l’agitation du monde moderne, préservant ainsi l’âme sauvage de cette contrée mauricienne.

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.
