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 Mine-Merrill.
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.

Mine-Merrill is a locality in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Mine-Merrill is located at 49.8667°N, 74.3258°W.
Mine-Merrill rests heavily against the rugged slopes of the Colline de la Sidérite, overlooking the deep, cold waters of Lac Chibougamau. It lies 6.0 km south-south-east of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 149°T), and is situated 15.1 km north-north-west of La Mine-Corner Bay. The air here holds a sharp clarity, carrying the scent of stone and pine as it moves across the dark surface of the lake. Evening light clings to the iron-rich ridges of the Colline de la Sidérite, casting long, bruised shadows that deepen the silent hollows of the terrain. While the Rivière Chibougamau flows some distance away, its presence is felt in the moisture that lingers in the valleys, grounding the landscape in a quiet, persistent moisture. The history of Mine-Merrill is defined by the extraction of what lies beneath the earth, a legacy of labor that persists in the austere character of the surroundings. Industrial activity has shaped the local economy, leaving behind a grit that contrasts with the vast, untamed expanse of the northern wilderness. Life at Mine-Merrill continues with a steady, pragmatic focus, where the inhabitants acknowledge the unforgiving nature of the climate and the isolation of the high ground. Even now, the echoes of past exertion seem to settle into the rock, reminding those who remain of the fundamental relationship between the people and the unyielding geology of their home.
Mine-Merrill s’étire avec une austérité minérale sur les rives sombres du Lac Chibougamau, là où la terre délaisse ses secrets aux mains des hommes. Dans la Colline de la Sidérite, le sol garde la mémoire des efforts acharnés pour extraire la richesse enfouie, façonnant un paysage de roches brutes et de poussière où la lumière du crépuscule semble se figer sur le métal oxydé. À une dizaine de kilomètres, la Rivière Chibougamau poursuit son cours imperturbable, ignorant le poids de l’industrie qui a fait battre le pouls de Mine-Merrill durant tant d'années. L’air y est vif, chargé d’une odeur de terre froide et de conifères qui s’accrochent aux pentes escarpées. Les vestiges de cette activité minière composent une silhouette singulière contre le ciel du Nord-du-Québec, imposant une présence silencieuse qui domine la topographie environnante. Ici, le quotidien ne se raconte pas en mots inutiles, mais se mesure à la rudesse du relief et à la persistance du vent qui balaye les crêtes. Entre les eaux vastes du lac et l’immensité des forêts, Mine-Merrill demeure ce bastion de rocaille, sentinelle solitaire dans l’attente d’une aube qui vient toujours raviver la couleur ocre des parois de la colline.

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.
