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 Tour-du-80.
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 Tour-du-80 is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. La Tour-du-80 is located at 49.5608°N, 78.1141°W.
La Tour-du-80 stands as a solitary sentinel amidst the expansive, rugged expanse of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James in Nord-du-Québec. It lies 17.8 km north-east of Joutel, QC (from Joutel, QC: bearing 52°T), and is situated 28.8 km north of Mackode Nigapi. The terrain surrounding La Tour-du-80 is defined by the austere, weathered relief of the Collines Cartwright, where the light at dusk catches the grey stone and turns it into a bruised, metallic violet. Silence holds a physical weight here, pressing against the low-lying spruce and the thin, resilient mosses that cling to the rock. About 4 km away, the surface of Lac Douay mirrors the wide, indifferent sky, while the Rivière Allard traces a path through the brush some 8 km distant, its dark water moving with a slow, deliberate purpose through the northern scrub. The history of La Tour-du-80 remains tied to the persistent, industrial drive that defines the broader regional economy of the north. Men and machines have long probed these reaches for the riches hidden beneath the frost-heaved ground, and the legacy of that extraction lingers in the sharp, clean lines of the local infrastructure. Life moves in accordance with the shifting seasons, where the arrival of the deep cold dictates the pace of work and the necessity of preparation. Despite the industrial reality, there is a stark beauty in the way the horizon seems to stretch into infinity, offering a clarity of vision that renders the clutter of the south entirely foreign.
La Tour-du-80 se dresse dans une solitude minérale, là où les Collines Cartwright découpent l’horizon boréal en de lentes ondulations sombres. Dans ce secteur de la région Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, la lumière du crépuscule s’étire sur les terres avec une lenteur solennelle, venant mourir contre les parois rocheuses. À quatre kilomètres de là, le Lac Douay offre une surface d’acier immobile qui absorbe les derniers feux du jour, tandis que la Rivière Allard serpente à huit kilomètres de distance, découpant son chemin dans la terre froide avec une constance indifférente. L’existence ici se mesure à l’austérité du climat et à la rudesse du sol, imposant une présence sobre aux travailleurs qui veillent sur ces espaces. Le silence domine, rompu seulement par le souffle du vent qui balaie les étendues sauvages et rappelle la vigueur persistante du Nord-du-Québec. La Tour-du-80 maintient son équilibre dans cet environnement où la nature ne concède rien, offrant aux regards attentifs une beauté faite de roc, d'eau sombre et de ciels immenses. Chaque levée de soleil sur ces reliefs éprouvés souligne la persévérance de ceux qui habitent ces contrées, transformant chaque journée en une lutte silencieuse contre l’immensité des espaces qui entourent La Tour-du-80.

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.
