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 Poste-de-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 Poste-de-Chibougamau is a locality in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Le Poste-de-Chibougamau is located at 49.8708°N, 74.2819°W.
Le Poste-de-Chibougamau rests upon the rugged edge of Lac Chibougamau, where the land rises into the distinct, mineral-rich crests of the Colline de la Sidérite. It lies 7.8 km south-east of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 127°T), and is situated 14.6 km north-north-west of La Mine-Corner Bay. The weight of the earth here feels heavy with the promise of iron and the cooling breath of northern winds that sweep across the water. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long shadows over the iron-bearing ridges that define the horizon. While the Rivière Chibougamau flows with a steady, distant purpose some thirteen kilometers away, the immediate surroundings of Le Poste-de-Chibougamau remain defined by the stillness of the lake and the ancient, unyielding rock of the surrounding hills. The history of Le Poste-de-Chibougamau draws its strength from the cycles of extraction and the persistence of those who navigate the northern terrain. Local life aligns with the shifting seasons, where the economy reflects the hard-won resources pulled from the earth and the quiet resilience of a people accustomed to long winters. Traditions here are quiet, marked by the practical knowledge of the bush and a respect for the vast, untamed reaches that surround the settlement. In the clear, thin air, the silence is not empty but full, holding the memory of those who first traversed this landscape long before the modern era took hold.
Le Poste-de-Chibougamau se déploie avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Lac Chibougamau, là où le regard s'attarde sur les ondulations sombres de l'eau avant de remonter vers les pentes de la Colline de la Sidérite. L'air y possède une densité particulière, une fraîcheur qui semble porter en elle le souvenir des explorations anciennes et la rigueur du sol boréal. À une distance de treize kilomètres, la Rivière Chibougamau poursuit son cours discret, rappelant par son mouvement lent la persévérance nécessaire pour habiter ces étendues sauvages. Le Poste-de-Chibougamau porte en lui la mémoire des bâtisseurs qui ont su lire dans la rudesse du relief une promesse de subsistance, transformant le silence des roches en une présence humaine durable. Dans la lumière oblique du crépuscule, le paysage se dépouille de ses détails pour ne laisser que la silhouette austère de la colline, dont la masse impose un rythme calme aux journées. Il émane de ces lieux une dignité tranquille, une façon d'exister à l'écart du tumulte, où chaque bâtiment et chaque sentier tracé sur la terre ferme racontent l'attachement indéfectible des habitants à ce territoire qui, malgré l'isolement, offre une clarté intérieure rare.
