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 Dépôt-du-Lac-Chibougamau.
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 Dépôt-du-Lac-Chibougamau anchors itself firmly upon the rugged shoreline of Lac Chibougamau, where the northern light settles with a heavy, bruised clarity against the horizon. It lies 1.1 km north-north-west of La Mine-Corner Bay, QC (from La Mine-Corner Bay, QC: bearing 345°T), and is situated 20.0 km south-south-east of Chibougamau. The terrain surrounding Le Dépôt-du-Lac-Chibougamau rises toward the Colline de la Sidérite, a silent sentinel that watches over the expanse of water and the dense, dark timber of the surrounding bush. Five kilometers distant, the Rivière Énard moves with a persistent, cold purpose, carving its way through the earth and grounding the landscape in a cycle of movement that ignores the stillness of the trees. The air here holds a sharp, metallic edge, a reminder of the mineral-rich earth that has long defined the character of the region. The historical identity of Le Dépôt-du-Lac-Chibougamau is inseparable from the industrial pulse of the north, where the extraction of resources has dictated the pace of human activity for generations. Life here moves in accordance with the demands of the land, shifting between the intense industry of the mines and the quiet, solitary persistence required to survive the long, frozen winters. Local traditions are forged in this resilience, reflected in the way residents navigate the seasonal transitions of the ice on Lac Chibougamau. Even as the modern economy evolves, the spirit of the place remains anchored to the Colline de la Sidérite and the vast, untamed reaches that define the northern frontier.
Le Dépôt-du-Lac-Chibougamau s’étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives vastes du Lac Chibougamau, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s’attarder sur les roches sombres. À proximité, la Colline de la Sidérite dresse son profil austère, rappelant aux passants la mémoire d’une terre travaillée par l’effort et le labeur des bâtisseurs. Le silence des bois environnants est à peine troublé par le murmure lointain de la Rivière Énard, dont le cours sinueux souligne la patience de cette contrée nordique. Ici, le ciel se fait vaste et changeant, imprégnant chaque geste quotidien d'une gravité silencieuse que seuls les hommes habitués aux rigueurs du climat savent apprivoiser. Dans cette solitude habitée, Le Dépôt-du-Lac-Chibougamau conserve la mémoire vive des hommes venus puiser dans le sol les richesses nécessaires à leur subsistance. L’air y est vif, chargé de l’odeur résineuse des conifères qui s’inclinent devant la force des vents, tandis que le sol, robuste et indomptable, impose son propre rythme aux activités humaines. En observant l’horizon, on perçoit la force tranquille d’une existence façonnée par les éléments, une réalité où l’histoire industrielle ne se sépare jamais tout à fait de la rudesse bienveillante de la nature boréale.
