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 Manic-Cinq.
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.

Manic-Cinq is a hamlet in Rivière-aux-Outardes; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Manic-Cinq is located at 50.6394°N, 68.7322°W.
Manic-Cinq stands as a solitary sentinel perched upon the rugged shore of Réservoir Manicouagan, where the dark, cool waters of the Rivière Manicouagan gather in a vast and quiet expanse. It lies 148.8 km west-north-west of Port-Cartier, QC (from Port-Cartier, QC: bearing 298°T), and is situated 7.4 km east of Les Sept-Lacs. The surrounding terrain is defined by the unrelenting reach of the Canadian Shield, a landscape of ancient stone and resilient conifers that hold the light of the long northern days with a patient, amber glow. Here, the air carries a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the horizon, while the wind moving across the surface of the reservoir creates a low, constant murmur that reminds anyone nearby of the sheer scale of the water. In the height of summer, the sun lingers late over the trees, casting long, bruised shadows that deepen the solitude of the forest and emphasize the quiet, heavy presence of the earth. The existence of Manic-Cinq is defined by its deep connection to the industry that harnessed the immense power of the Rivière Manicouagan, a legacy that sustains the local economy and shapes the daily movements of those who dwell here. This settlement grew from the necessity of managing the formidable energy flowing through the region, grounding the lives of its inhabitants in the practical, steady work of maintaining the infrastructure that anchors the landscape. Life in Manic-Cinq moves with a deliberate focus, reflecting the demanding nature of the climate and the sheer physical presence of the reservoir that dominates the view. Residents share a common understanding of the land’s quiet strength, finding a natural composure in the way the seasons shift from the biting stillness of deep winter to the sudden, brilliant thaw that stirs the riverbanks into life.
Manic-Cinq s’élève comme une sentinelle de béton dans la rigueur du bouclier canadien, dominant les eaux sombres de la Rivière Manicouagan avec une puissance silencieuse qui semble suspendre le souffle des voyageurs. Lorsque le crépuscule dépose sa lumière ambrée sur les rives du Réservoir Manicouagan, le paysage prend une teinte mélancolique, rappelant les efforts titanesques déployés par les hommes pour dompter la force brute des éléments dans cette contrée isolée. La structure imposante qui définit Manic-Cinq impose sa silhouette colossale contre un ciel souvent chargé de nuages bas, tandis que l’air frais, presque métallique, rappelle la proximité immédiate de ce réservoir immense dont la profondeur cache des horizons secrets. Ici, le rythme quotidien s’ordonne autour de la prouesse technique et du bourdonnement lointain des turbines, une mélodie industrielle qui accompagne les résidents dans leur isolement volontaire. La nature sauvage, omniprésente sur les rives de la Rivière Manicouagan, reprend ses droits dès que le silence revient, enveloppant chaque recoin de ce site singulier d’une sérénité austère et impériale. Les reflets changeants sur les étendues d’eau, véritables miroirs d’un ciel changeant, confèrent à l’existence locale une dimension presque onirique, où la solidité de la roche rencontre la fluidité indomptable du courant.
