This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lac-Caché, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. 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-Caché.
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-Caché is a hamlet in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Lac-Caché is located at 49.8236°N, 74.4264°W.
The dense, northern stillness settles heavily over Lac-Caché, where the land rises in stubborn ridges toward the Colline de la Sidérite. It lies 10.8 km south-south-west of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 203°T), and is situated 31.0 km east of Chapais. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, bruised quality, casting long shadows across the rugged terrain that borders the Rivière Chibougamau. This landscape is defined by the sharp, unyielding presence of the Colline de la Sidérite, which looms over the water with a geological gravity that seems to slow the wind. Nearby, another Lac Caché rests in proximity, mirroring the quiet, dark depths of the primary basin. The air carries a crisp, metallic edge, tasting of ancient stone and the deep, evergreen silence that stretches toward the horizon. Economic life at Lac-Caché remains linked to the extraction of the earth’s hidden wealth, a pursuit that has defined the character of the surrounding region for generations. Men and machines have long laboured within the shadow of the Colline de la Sidérite, their efforts carving a livelihood out of the hard, mineral-rich ground. The Rivière Chibougamau serves as a constant, flowing companion to these industries, its current indifferent to the human activity that hums along its banks. Life at Lac-Caché reflects the resilience of those who endure the long, biting winters, finding a steady, grounded purpose in the work that the land demands.
Lac-Caché déploie son existence austère sous un ciel boréal qui semble suspendre le souffle des pins dès que le crépuscule dépose ses cendres froides sur la forêt. La terre ici, marquée par la présence minérale de la Colline de la Sidérite, porte la rudesse des sols qui ont vu passer les prospecteurs en quête d’éclats métalliques. À proximité immédiate, la Rivière Chibougamau trace un sillon sombre et obstiné, charriant les échos d’une géographie où l’eau et le roc dictent leurs lois aux hommes. Le Lac Caché, voisin silencieux situé à peine à un kilomètre, recueille les premières lueurs de l’aube et les ombres étirées des conifères dans un miroir d’une grande limpidité. L’air, chargé d’une humidité vive et d’une odeur de terre ancienne, rappelle que Lac-Caché appartient à ces étendues nordiques où la vie quotidienne s’ajuste au rythme lent des éléments. Les activités qui animent ces rives portent en elles le poids d’une histoire industrielle tenace, façonnée par les efforts de ceux qui ont extrait la richesse des profondeurs pour bâtir ici une présence durable. Rien n’est superficiel dans ce paysage dépouillé, tout se mesure à la patience du regard qui observe, jour après jour, la lumière glisser sur les crêtes de la Colline de la Sidérite.

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.
