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 Le Bassin.
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.

Le Bassin is a neighbourhood in Saguenay; Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Bassin is located at 48.4236°N, 71.0744°W.
Le Bassin rests where the currents of the Rivière Chicoutimi gather their strength before meeting the St. Lawrence. It lies 1.0 km west-south-west of Saguenay, QC (from Saguenay, QC: bearing 240°T), and is situated 1.0 km north-west of Chicoutimi. The landscape holds a quiet tension, defined by the proximity of the Le Grand Coteau, where the land rises with a sudden, deliberate purpose. At the edge of the water, the roar of Chutes Price punctuates the air, a constant reminder of the force moving through this terrain. When the evening light catches the spray, the mist turns translucent, clinging to the banks in a way that makes the heavy, cool air feel almost solid against the skin. The history of Le Bassin carries the weight of the water that shaped its industrial beginnings. While Lac Mon Repos sits distant in the quiet hinterland, the energy of the Rivière Chicoutimi has long driven the local economy, turning the wheels of industry that once defined the horizon. Even as the pace of life shifts, the shadow of Parc national des Monts-Valin looms thirty kilometers away, a vast, wild presence that anchors the region in a deeper, geological time. Le Bassin persists through these cycles, a place where the persistent sound of the river remains the primary pulse of the day.
Le Bassin s'étire avec une langueur minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le sol se rappelle le passage des eaux et la puissance sourde du Grand Coteau. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée de l'humidité vive qui s'échappe de la Rivière Chicoutimi, dont le courant rapide rythme le quotidien des habitants habitués à la proximité des Chutes Price. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Mon Repos offre un miroir immobile à la lumière déclinante, tandis que l'horizon se ferme, plus loin, sur la masse imposante du Parc national des Monts-Valin. Le Bassin conserve dans ses pierres une mémoire industrielle liée à la force hydraulique, une identité forgée par le travail acharné face à la rigueur climatique. Les maisons se tournent vers le large, guettant les changements de teintes sur les flots, alors que le crépuscule dépose une patine argentée sur le relief accidenté. Ici, le paysage impose sa propre mesure, obligeant les hommes à une humilité silencieuse devant l'étendue des éléments. La vie progresse sans emphase, portée par les cycles des eaux et la rudesse familière de ce terrain qui, malgré les siècles, demeure sauvage sous la clarté crue des ciels septentrionaux.

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.
Location data for Le Bassin is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
