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 L'Île-Nepawa.
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.

L'Île-Nepawa is a hamlet in Clerval; Abitibi-Ouest, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. L'Île-Nepawa is located at 48.6863°N, 79.4599°W.
L'Île-Nepawa rests as a singular, quiet presence along the northern reaches of Lake Abitibi, where the land meets the water in a muted transition of silt and shore. It lies 23.0 km south-west of La Sarre, QC (from La Sarre, QC: bearing 234°T), and is situated 7.2 km south-south-west of Clerval. The Rivière Maine draws a silver line through the terrain near the Coteau Paquin, its current carrying the scent of damp earth and pine needles toward the basin of the lake. During the long, bruised light of a northern dusk, the surface of Lake Abitibi turns to polished charcoal, reflecting the stillness that settles over the low, rugged ground. Within Clerval, the life of L'Île-Nepawa persists with a steady, pragmatic focus on the land, where the local economy maintains a deep connection to the forestry and agricultural traditions of Abitibi-Ouest. Generations have worked these reaches, finding utility in the timber and the soil while honoring the quiet isolation that defines the region. The air here holds a crisp, bracing edge, cooling quickly as the sun dips behind the Coteau Paquin, leaving the inhabitants of L'Île-Nepawa to the long, starlit silence of the Canadian wilderness.
L'Île-Nepawa s’étire avec une tranquille obstination sur les rives du lac Abitibi, là où le ciel d’Abitibi-Ouest déploie ses nuances cuivrées sur l’eau calme à l’heure où le jour décline. Près de Coteau Paquin, la terre semble retenir le souffle des anciens défricheurs dont le labeur a façonné ce terroir exigeant, transformant les zones forestières en parcelles agricoles marquées par la rigueur du climat boréal. La Rivière Maine serpente avec une lenteur presque méditative à proximité, apportant une fraîcheur constante qui imprègne les sols et guide le regard vers l’horizon plat, où la lumière du soir révèle la texture rugueuse des écorces et la persistance des boisés. L’Île-Nepawa conserve ce caractère singulier des terres frontalières, une identité forgée par le silence et l’immensité des espaces nordiques, où chaque geste quotidien possède une noblesse discrète. Ici, le vent qui balaie le lac Abitibi porte les échos d’une histoire humaine modeste mais tenace, indissociable de la présence de la Rivière Maine qui sculpte les contours de ce paysage sauvage. Les habitants observent le mouvement des eaux avec une patience héritée, trouvant dans la constance de ces rivages une raison de demeurer, tout simplement, dans cette lumière franche qui définit le caractère unique de leur environnement immédiat.
