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 Mine-Bateman Bay.
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 Mine-Bateman Bay is a locality in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Mine-Bateman Bay is located at 49.9028°N, 74.2483°W.
La Mine-Bateman Bay rests upon the rugged, enduring terrain of the Colline de la Sidérite. It lies 8.7 km east of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 98°T), and is situated 17.9 km north of La Mine-Corner Bay. The land here is defined by the expansive, reflective surface of Lac Chibougamau, which holds the cold light of the north with a quiet, watchful stillness. Throughout the seasons, the wind moves across the Colline de la Sidérite, carrying the scent of damp spruce and the sharp, clean edge of distant ice. While the Rivière Oreille flows through the wider region some twelve kilometers away, the immediate surroundings of La Mine-Bateman Bay feel concentrated and singular, anchored by the heavy, ancient presence of the rock beneath the soil. Even as the sun slips behind the horizon, the atmosphere retains a clarity that makes the earth feel vast, ancient, and entirely indifferent to the passing of human hours. The history of La Mine-Bateman Bay is deeply bound to the extraction of what lies beneath the surface, a legacy that once defined the heartbeat of the local economy. Men and machines long labored to pull value from the earth, leaving behind a stillness that now characterizes the site as the machinery has grown quiet. This former industrial activity shaped the expectations of the region, creating a rhythm of work and residence that persists in the collective memory of the north. Today, the quietude of La Mine-Bateman Bay offers a different kind of presence, one that reflects the resilience of those who built their lives amidst such demanding geography. The legacy of the mine remains a weight in the landscape, a reminder of the industry that once brought purpose and movement to these remote, forested hills.
La Mine-Bateman Bay s'élève avec une gravité minérale sur les rives du Lac Chibougamau, là où la terre déploie ses reliefs accidentés au sein de la Colline de la Sidérite. Dans cette étendue nordique, la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle, venant caresser les roches sombres et les vestiges d'une activité humaine qui a longtemps cherché ses richesses sous la croûte terrestre. À une douzaine de kilomètres, la Rivière Oreille poursuit son cours discret, ignorant les souvenirs de labeur industriel qui imprègnent encore le sol de La Mine-Bateman Bay. Le climat, vif et exigeant, sculpte une atmosphère où le silence semble épais, presque palpable, entre les sommets arrondis et les eaux calmes du lac. Les hommes et les femmes qui ont fréquenté ces terres ont appris à lire la rudesse des éléments dans le grain de la pierre et dans le souffle glacé qui descend des hauteurs. Aujourd'hui, le paysage conserve cette dignité austère des lieux marqués par l'effort, offrant aux rares visiteurs une perspective sur une géographie sauvage, dépouillée de tout artifice, où le passé minier se fond doucement dans la pérennité du relief et de l'eau.

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.
