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-Gwillim.
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-Gwillim is a locality in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Mine-Gwillim is located at 49.9598°N, 74.4520°W.
La Mine-Gwillim occupies a rugged stretch of terrain where the earth rises to meet the Colline de la Sidérite, defining a landscape shaped by persistent geological endurance. It lies 7.9 km north-west of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 311°T), and is situated 28.6 km north-north-west of La Mine-Corner Bay. The Rivière Chibougamau cuts a dark, reflective path through the vicinity, its currents carrying the chill of the north past the rocky outcrops that define the local horizon. Here, the light of dusk clings to the ridges with a particular, bruised violet intensity, illuminating the spruce boughs that stand motionless against the gathering cold. Lac Antoinette rests in the quiet distance, a singular expanse of water that anchors the surrounding wilderness, holding the reflection of the sky in a stillness that feels heavy with the weight of the boreal silence. The industrial history of La Mine-Gwillim persists in the quiet memory of the earth, echoing the extraction of resources that once drew men to this remote northern frontier. While the active pulse of the mine has long since faded, the site retains a stoic character, reflecting the resilience of those who laboured to claim value from the stubborn stone. Life in this part of Chibougamau is defined by the necessity of adapting to a climate that demands much of its inhabitants, favoring a practical, grounded approach to the passing seasons. The influence of the nearby Rivière Chibougamau continues to shape the orientation of the land, providing a constant, low-frequency presence that accompanies the daily movements of those who traverse these paths.
La Mine-Gwillim s'inscrit dans la rudesse minérale du Nord-du-Québec, là où la terre délaisse ses secrets d'or aux mains de ceux qui acceptent de fouiller la pierre. Près de la Colline de la Sidérite, le sol conserve une mémoire ancienne, celle des hommes qui ont bâti leur quotidien sur le travail acharné des galeries souterraines. Les eaux de la Rivière Chibougamau serpentent avec une lenteur indifférente à côté des vestiges industriels, marquant le rythme d'un paysage qui ne pardonne guère l'oubli. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Antoinette offre un miroir immobile à la lumière rasante du soir, lorsque le ciel se teinte d'un gris bleuté propre aux contrées sauvages. La Mine-Gwillim subit le souffle des vents qui descendent des hauteurs, balayant les affleurements rocheux et rappelant aux habitants la puissance brute d'une nature qui domine les ambitions humaines. Ici, chaque geste porte le poids d'une histoire forgée dans le métal et la persévérance, loin des artifices des grands centres. Le silence qui s'installe après la tombée du jour, entre les rives de la Rivière Chibougamau et la silhouette sombre de la Colline de la Sidérite, définit la solitude fière de ces terres où l'horizon semble toujours promettre un renouveau, malgré les cicatrices laissées par l'extraction dans le roc.

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.
