Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Lac-Bachelor.
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.

Lac-Bachelor is a hamlet in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Lac-Bachelor is located at 49.5361°N, 76.1161°W.
The northern light settles with a singular, cooling clarity over the dark waters of Lac-Bachelor, where the horizon holds the stillness of the boreal expanse. It lies 21.2 km south-south-west of Waswanipi, QC (from Waswanipi, QC: bearing 211°T), and is situated 31.2 km west-south-west of Lac-Relique. The land surrounding Lac-Bachelor is defined by low, resilient ridges and a dense, persistent cover of spruce that absorbs the sound of the wind, creating a quietude that feels as ancient as the bedrock beneath. As evening approaches, the air takes on a crisp, metallic edge, and the water reflects the sky in a deep, slate-grey mirror, undisturbed by the distant, meandering currents of the Rivière Opawica. The history of Lac-Bachelor is marked by the enduring presence of those who have long worked the mineral-rich earth, giving the locality a character defined by industrious persistence rather than idle ornament. Local life keeps pace with the demands of the resource sector, where the weight of extraction has shaped the routine and the rugged infrastructure of the site. While the nearby Lac Bachelor lies a mere kilometer away, the focus of the region remains on the extraction of wealth from the deep, stubborn ground. This is a landscape where the intensity of the work is balanced by the vast, indifferent beauty of the northern wilderness, grounding the daily labor of the people in the silent, immense scale of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James.
Lac-Bachelor s'étire dans l'immensité du Nord-du-Québec, là où la terre boréale impose sa rigueur minérale et ses silences profonds. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Bachelor déploie ses eaux sombres, miroir immobile reflétant la lumière déclinante qui incendie le ciel en fin de journée, tandis que la Rivière Opawica poursuit sa course lente à treize kilomètres de distance, découpant le territoire d'une veine humide et sauvage. L'histoire de Lac-Bachelor demeure indissociable de la patience des hommes et du travail acharné extrait des entrailles rocheuses, une économie forgée par l'industrie minière qui a façonné le relief et le quotidien des habitants. La brise transporte ici l'odeur résineuse des conifères et la fraîcheur cinglante des espaces non domptés, rappelant sans cesse la force des éléments qui entourent les installations humaines. Les travailleurs, habitués aux caprices d'un climat qui ne pardonne rien, observent le passage des jours avec une sobriété héritée des bâtisseurs de ce pays. Dans cette solitude géographique, le paysage se révèle dépouillé, essentiel, et chaque battement de cette existence locale semble rythmé par les saisons qui transforment le sol en un manteau de givre ou en une terre généreuse pour la forêt boréale. Lac-Bachelor demeure une sentinelle de granit et d'eau, veillant sur une étendue où le ciel semble plus vaste que partout ailleurs.
