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 Micoua.
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.

Micoua is a locality in Rivière-aux-Outardes; Manicouagan, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Micoua is located at 49.7647°N, 68.8189°W.
Micoua rests within the rugged expanse of Les Laurentides, defined by the persistent flow of the Rivière Vallant. It lies 77.4 km north-west of Baie-Comeau, QC (from Baie-Comeau, QC: bearing 322°T), and is situated 10.5 km west-south-west of Tour-Fraser. The landscape here holds a stillness that gathers as the sun slips behind the horizon, turning the surface of Lac Micoua into a dark, polished mirror that captures the fading amber light. Dense stands of timber press close to the water, where the air carries a sharp, resinous chill even in the height of summer. This terrain favors the quiet endurance of the wild, and Micoua exists as a singular point of focus amidst the deep, unyielding woods. Life in Micoua maintains an alignment with the natural cycles of the Rivière Vallant, which has long served as a vital artery for the region. The economy remains rooted in the bounty of the land, reflecting a history of resourcefulness where the labor of the day follows the light and the seasons. Residents of Micoua move with a deliberate purpose, familiar with the way the water rises and falls against the banks. While the modern world presses inward, the presence of Lac Micoua ensures that the character of the site remains defined by its essential, elemental elements rather than the clamor of industry.
Micoua s’étire avec une humilité minérale au sein des Laurentides, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière boréale qui étire les ombres jusqu’à l’infini. La Rivière Vallant serpente entre les reliefs, offrant ses eaux sombres aux reflets d’acier, tandis que le Lac Micoua repose tout contre, comme un miroir oublié par le ciel. L’air y possède une texture de givre et d’écorce, imprégné de la rudesse des grands espaces québécois où le silence n’est jamais une absence, mais une présence dense qui accompagne les activités liées aux vastes étendues sauvages de la Manicouagan. Dans cette solitude géologique, Micoua se définit par son lien indéfectible avec la topographie accidentée et les courants qui dictent le rythme des existences. La vie y suit le mouvement des eaux et la transformation lente du terrain, forgée par une histoire industrielle qui a su dompter l’énergie brute de la nature. Chaque jour, le soleil déclinant embrase les rives de la Rivière Vallant d’une clarté cuivrée, révélant la noblesse sauvage de ce sol où le Lac Micoua, immobile, recueille les secrets d’une terre dont la beauté tient autant à sa rigueur qu’à sa persistance dans le temps.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
