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-Chib Kayrand.
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-Chib Kayrand is a locality in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. La Mine-Chib Kayrand is located at 49.8592°N, 74.3464°W.
La Mine-Chib Kayrand rests upon the rugged, enduring ground of the Colline de la Sidérite, overlooking the vast and quiet expanse of Lac Chibougamau. It lies 6.2 km south-south-east of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 165°T), and is situated 15.1 km north-north-west of La Mine-Corner Bay. The terrain here holds a stark, northern clarity, where the light at dusk clings to the jagged rock faces with a bruised, violet intensity before the darkness settles over the trees. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the land maintains a stoic composure, indifferent to the shifting seasons that color the horizon in shades of iron and slate. The history of La Mine-Chib Kayrand mirrors the persistent search for wealth hidden within the earth, a pursuit that has long defined the pulse of this landscape. While the Rivière Chibougamau flows steadily some nine kilometers away, the local life has been shaped by the industry of extraction and the quiet, heavy work of those who know the secrets of the stones. Residents move through their days with a steady, deliberate focus, aware that the prosperity of the region relies on the same mineral veins that once drew prospectors into these remote reaches. The air carries a crisp, metallic edge, reminding anyone who walks these paths that the earth here has been opened and examined, leaving behind a legacy of resilience in the face of the northern cold.
La Mine-Chib Kayrand se dresse avec une austérité minérale sur les flancs de la Colline de la Sidérite, dominant les eaux sombres du Lac Chibougamau dont la surface miroitante capte les dernières lueurs d'un soleil déclinant. Dans cette contrée du Nord-du-Québec, le relief accidenté porte les stigmates d'une longue tradition industrielle qui a façonné le destin des hommes venus chercher la richesse cachée sous les roches anciennes. L'air, souvent vif et chargé de l'humidité froide provenant de la Rivière Chibougamau distante de quelques lieues, semble suspendre le temps au-dessus des vestiges de l'exploitation minière. La Mine-Chib Kayrand demeure un monument solitaire à la persévérance humaine, où le silence du paysage boréal contraste avec l'effervescence qui animait autrefois les chantiers. Ici, la terre garde en mémoire le labeur des bâtisseurs et la rudesse d'un climat qui impose sa propre cadence à la vie quotidienne, exigeant une humilité profonde face à l'immensité sauvage. Chaque pierre, chaque sentier qui serpente le long de la colline raconte une histoire de courage, tandis que la lumière crépusculaire enveloppe les lieux d'une mélancolie sereine, invitant à la contemplation de ce passé industriel désormais apaisé par la lenteur immuable de la nature environnante.
