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 Les Mélèzes.
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.

Les Mélèzes is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Les Mélèzes is located at 52.2203°N, 76.6206°W.
Les Mélèzes anchors itself upon the rugged, enduring shoreline of Réservoir Opinaca, where the northern light settles with a singular, crystalline clarity against the horizon. It lies 63.2 km north-north-west of Nemaska, QC (from Nemaska, QC: bearing 336°T), and is situated 52.2 km south-south-east of Metawatikwa. The terrain surrounding Les Mélèzes is shaped by the ancient, hard-scrabble patience of the boreal landscape, holding a stillness that seems to deepen as the sun dips low. Just a short distance away, the Rivière Wabistane carves its path through the earth, a dark artery feeding the vast, interconnected waters that define this region of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. The air here carries a crisp, mineral edge, sharpened by the vast expanse of the reservoir and the quiet, persistent growth of the surrounding spruce and larch stands. Life in Les Mélèzes reflects the profound connection to the land held by the Eeyou people, whose heritage informs the daily movements and seasonal cycles of the region. The economy remains intimately tied to the rhythms of the northern wilderness, drawing on traditions that balance modern necessity with a deep, ancestral respect for the water and the woods. While the pace of existence follows the shifting demands of the climate, Les Mélèzes maintains a character defined by its isolation and the stark, uncompromising beauty of its surroundings. In the quiet hours of the morning, one might hear the distant, subtle movement of the Rivière Wabistane, a constant reminder of the elemental forces that have long nurtured those who call this northern reach home.
Les Mélèzes s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives vastes et sombres du Réservoir Opinaca, là où le ciel du Nord-du-Québec semble descendre pour embrasser une terre encore imprégnée du silence de la taïga. La lumière décline sur les eaux immobiles, étirant des ombres longues qui transforment la roche et le lichen en une architecture brute, tandis qu'à quelques kilomètres, le murmure discret de la Rivière Wabistane rappelle la présence constante d'un courant qui façonne ce relief éternellement ouvert. Dans cet espace, Les Mélèzes maintient une relation intime avec les éléments, portée par le souffle vif qui traverse les conifères et s'infiltre dans les interstices du quotidien. Les habitants vivent au rythme d'une immensité dont la rigueur forge le caractère, respectant la mémoire ancienne de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James dans une solitude qui n'est jamais vide, mais habitée par la densité du minéral et de l'eau. Chaque éclat du couchant sur le réservoir souligne la rudesse magnifique de ces étendues, offrant une clarté crue qui révèle la texture véritable du sol et la persistance des bois environnants, faisant de chaque heure une célébration silencieuse de cette géographie sauvage et indomptable.
