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 Malartic.
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.

Malartic is a town in Malartic; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Malartic is located at 48.1363°N, 78.1274°W.
Malartic sits firmly within the rugged expanse of the Canadian Shield, a landscape defined by its enduring geological patience and the quiet, stoic presence of the boreal forest. It lies 25.4 km west of Val-d'Or, QC (from Val-d'Or, QC: bearing 279°T), and is situated 13.1 km south-south-east of Rivière-Héva. The land here holds a particular weight, where the light at dusk clings to the horizon in long, bruised purples that seem to settle deep into the surrounding pine and spruce. Nearby, the water of Lac de la Réserve reflects the shifting sky with a glass-like stillness, while the Rivière Malartic winds its way through the lower reaches of the terrain with a deliberate, slow-moving grace. The air carries a crisp, metallic edge, a reminder of the ancient stone beneath the surface and the vast, unyielding reach of the northern woods. The history of Malartic is defined by the earth beneath it, as the presence of gold has drawn people to this location for generations, shaping the local economy into one centered on large-scale mining operations. This industry demands a constant, focused attention, turning the town into a hub of engineering and labor that persists through the coldest months. Life in Malartic moves with the shift patterns of the mines, creating a distinct cadence that dictates the flow of activity along the streets. While the heavy machinery and the extraction of ore provide the primary pulse of the local economy, the people maintain a grounded perspective, aware that their livelihoods are drawn directly from the mineral-rich veins hidden in the bedrock. Cultural life in Malartic reflects a resilient character, marked by the traditions of those who have made their homes in this challenging, beautiful northern environment. Local gatherings often center on the shared experiences of a life lived close to the land, where the changing seasons dictate the tempo of community events and personal pursuits. The architecture remains functional and sturdy, designed to withstand the harsh winters and the heavy snows that define the climate. Even as the modern world reaches into the region, Malartic retains a sense of isolation that fosters strong local bonds and an appreciation for the simple, stark beauty of the surrounding wilderness.
Malartic s'étire sur une terre de rocs et de promesses, là où le sol garde en mémoire la patience des mineurs et le labeur des bâtisseurs qui ont façonné son identité industrielle. Dans cette étendue québécoise, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les horizons ouverts avec une douceur métallique, révélant la silhouette robuste de Malartic sous un ciel immense. À deux kilomètres à peine, le Lac de la Réserve dort dans une immobilité minérale, tandis que la Rivière Malartic serpente à huit kilomètres de distance, marquant le relief de son tracé discret mais essentiel. L'air y possède une fraîcheur qui saisit les poumons, chargée de cette gravité propre aux régions où l'extraction façonne le quotidien et sculpte les paysages. Les familles y habitent une quotidienneté rythmée par l'effort, entre le chant des machines et le silence des vastes espaces boréaux. Chaque rue de Malartic porte le poids d'une histoire forgée dans la roche, une persévérance qui se lit sur les visages et dans la rigueur des façades. Ici, la nature ne se donne pas en spectacle, elle impose une présence sobre qui oblige à regarder droit devant, vers les promesses enfouies dans le sous-sol sombre et généreux.
