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-de-Mica.
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-de-Mica rests firmly within the rugged embrace of the Canadian Shield, perched along the banks of the Rivière du Lièvre. It lies 46.2 km north of Gatineau, QC (from Gatineau, QC: bearing 11°T), and is situated 26.3 km north of Perkins. The terrain here holds a quiet, heavy stillness, where the earth seems to exhale the scent of damp stone and pine needles as the afternoon light catches the mica-flecked rock faces. Less than a kilometer away, the dark, reflective surface of Lac Brûlé mirrors the shifting clouds, while the distant, persistent pulse of Les Grandes Chutes carries through the trees like a low, rhythmic vibration. In the cool shadows of the valley, the air feels dense with the moisture of the river, grounding the landscape in a deep, elemental permanence. The history of Mine-de-Mica remains anchored in the extraction of minerals that once drove the local economy, leaving behind a legacy of industry that has slowly softened into the surrounding woods. Local life here follows the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, where the remnants of old shafts and clearings serve as reminders of those who once worked the veins of the earth. Today, the quiet solitude of the landscape defines the character of the locality, far removed from the clamor of wider roads or modern sprawl. Those who dwell near Mine-de-Mica move with a seasoned familiarity, respecting the way the river dictates the boundaries of their work and rest, holding onto a tradition of self-reliance that lingers long after the machinery has gone silent.
Mine-de-Mica s'éveille dans le silence minéral de Papineau, où la lumière décline avec une lenteur mélancolique sur les rives de la Rivière du Lièvre. Les collines environnantes, façonnées par une activité industrielle ancienne, gardent le souvenir des hommes qui extrayaient autrefois la richesse cristalline de la terre. À proximité, le Lac Brûlé offre une nappe d'eau sombre et immobile qui semble retenir le souffle du ciel, tandis que le fracas lointain des Grandes Chutes ponctue l'air d'une vibration constante et familière. Mine-de-Mica porte en ses strates le poids d'un labeur oublié, celui des mains qui ont creusé le sol pour en extraire l'éclat, transformant ce coin de pays en un sanctuaire de pierre et de résineux. Le soir venu, une fraîcheur humide monte des berges pour envelopper les demeures, alors que la nature reprend ses droits sur les vestiges des excavations. Cette terre, marquée par la rigueur des hivers et la ténacité de ses premiers habitants, demeure fidèle à son essence sauvage. Le rythme des jours se mesure à la course de la Rivière du Lièvre, dont le courant ininterrompu murmure les récits de ceux qui ont bâti leur existence sur ces terres austères et magnifiques.
