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 La Grande-Quatre.
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.

La Grande-Quatre is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Grande-Quatre is located at 53.8189°N, 73.5256°W.
La Grande-Quatre rests as a singular point of focus against the vast, cooling expanse of the Réservoir La Grande 4. It lies 208.3 km west-south-west of Brisay, QC (from Brisay, QC: bearing 252°T). The low, enduring slopes of the Collines Waapiyaaw frame the horizon, where the light at dusk pulls a bruised purple across the water, deepening the stillness of the northern air. While the La Grande Rivière flows with steady purpose some 36 km away, the immediate surroundings of La Grande-Quatre remain defined by the heavy, dark presence of the reservoir and the lichen-crusted granite that defines the terrain. The silence here is physical, a weight that settles over the land and demands a measured, watchful way of moving through the scrub and stone. Development at La Grande-Quatre emerged from the necessity of harnessing the wild energy of the north, and the local economy remains anchored to the industrial rhythms of the hydroelectric infrastructure that sustains the region. Life in La Grande-Quatre operates in accordance with the harsh, seasonal shifts of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where the long winters dictate the boundaries of the day. The site carries the quiet resolve of those who work the grid, maintaining the flow of power through a landscape that feels indifferent to human occupation. Traditions here are forged in the shared endurance of the cold, creating a culture that values the warmth of a hearth and the profound, unadorned beauty of an unbroken horizon.
La Grande-Quatre s'étire avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives vastes du Réservoir La Grande 4, là où le ciel du Nord-du-Québec semble descendre pour effleurer la terre. Le regard s'égare vers la silhouette familière des Collines Waapiyaaw, lesquelles imposent une cadence immobile à cet horizon strié par la lumière oblique du crépuscule. À trente-six kilomètres, La Grande Rivière poursuit sa course indifférente, imprégnant l'air d'une fraîcheur métallique qui rappelle la force brute des éléments domptés par l'ingénierie humaine. Dans cet espace où le roc et l'eau dictent leur loi, la vie à La Grande-Quatre s'organise autour d'une présence industrielle imposante, une réalité qui exige une résilience particulière des hommes et des femmes habitués aux rigueurs climatiques. La texture du paysage, faite de granit ancien et d'étendues liquides, forge un caractère direct, sans fioritures, où chaque souffle de vent porte le rappel silencieux de la culture crie présente sur ces terres depuis des générations. Les habitations se groupent, humbles, face à l'immensité du Réservoir La Grande 4, offrant un abri nécessaire contre la rudesse d'un environnement qui ne pardonne guère l'inattention, mais qui récompense ceux qui acceptent sa solitude profonde.

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.
