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-Québec-Chibougamau.
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-Québec-Chibougamau is a locality in Chibougamau; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Mine-Québec-Chibougamau is located at 49.8883°N, 74.3225°W.
Mine-Québec-Chibougamau remains a solitary sentinel perched upon the rugged shoulder of the Colline de la Sidérite. It lies 4.3 km south-east of Chibougamau, QC (from Chibougamau, QC: bearing 130°T), and is situated 17.3 km north-north-west of La Mine-Corner Bay. The earth here holds the cold deep within its mineral veins, where the light at dusk flattens against the dark stone, turning the horizon into a bruised and beautiful violet. From these heights, the vast expanse of Lac Chibougamau stretches out, its surface often caught in a stillness so profound it mirrors the heavy clouds drifting above the northern canopy. While the Rivière Chibougamau flows with purposeful intent some twelve kilometers away, the immediate surroundings of Mine-Québec-Chibougamau are defined by the raw, unyielding profile of the hills and the sharp scent of spruce needles cooling in the evening air. The history of Mine-Québec-Chibougamau persists in the quiet weight of the abandoned shafts and the enduring endurance of those who first broke the ground to pull wealth from the dark interior. Extraction defined the lifeblood of the region, creating an economy built upon the stubborn persistence of seeking value beneath the frost line. Today, the local character retains a stoic quality, reflecting a life lived alongside the seasonal shifts of a demanding climate. Residents move with the awareness that the land here is not merely a backdrop but a primary participant in daily existence, dictating the pace of work and the necessity of preparation for the long, white winters. The legacy of the mine lingers in the scattered iron-rich dust, a reminder of the industry that once roared across the Colline de la Sidérite, now softened by the slow, inevitable return of the surrounding wild.
Mine-Québec-Chibougamau se dresse avec une austérité minérale sur les rives du Lac Chibougamau, là où la lumière déclinante de la journée semble s'attarder sur les parois de la Colline de la Sidérite. Les hommes ont dompté cette terre aux confins du Nord, extrayant de ses entrailles une richesse qui a façonné l'identité même de la région, tandis que, non loin, la Rivière Chibougamau poursuit son cours tranquille à douze kilomètres de distance. Le paysage, brut et dépouillé, impose un rythme que seule la patience des bâtisseurs peut apprivoiser sous un ciel immense. Mine-Québec-Chibougamau conserve la mémoire du labeur humain dans ses pierres et ses structures, rappelant sans cesse cette volonté de vivre dans un environnement où la rudesse du climat et la rigueur du terrain exigent une présence constante et attentive. Entre les eaux sombres du lac et la silhouette imposante de la colline, les jours se succèdent dans une dignité silencieuse, portée par le vent qui balaye les horizons. La terre offre ses secrets à ceux qui acceptent de les chercher, transformant le silence sauvage en une existence faite de persévérance, d'acier et de mémoire ouvrière.
