This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mont-Wright, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Mont-Wright.
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.

Mont-Wright is a hamlet in Fermont; Caniapiscau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Mont-Wright is located at 52.7725°N, 67.3233°W.
Mont-Wright rises with a stark, iron-heavy gravity above the surrounding subarctic terrain, defining the horizon near the Sudbury Hill. It lies 15.9 km west of Fermont, QC (from Fermont, QC: bearing 260°T), and is situated 10.6 km south-west of Nitassinan. The air here holds a crisp, metallic clarity that settles over the landscape, where the cold-water depth of Lac Peter rests only 2 km from the rugged slopes. As the light shifts toward evening, the sky bruises into deep violets, casting long shadows across the stone and scrub that define the character of this northern expanse. The Rivière aux Pékans carves its way through the wilderness 7 km away, its movement providing a constant, low-frequency pulse beneath the stillness of the high-latitude sky. Further out, the expanse of Duley Lake Provincial Park sits 24 km distant, marking the outer reach of this austere and formidable territory. Mont-Wright functions as a cornerstone of the regional economy, its presence defined by the industrial extraction that has shaped the life of Fermont for generations. The collective identity of the people living in the shadow of Mont-Wright is forged in the intensity of the mining industry, where the daily labor mirrors the unyielding nature of the rock itself. Life persists with a quiet resilience, moving in alignment with the demands of the site and the seasonal shifts that dictate the pace of the north. Even amidst the heavy machinery and the constant work of the mines, there exists a profound solitude, a sense of being anchored to a vast, ancient geology that demands respect and endurance from all who dwell within its reach.
Mont-Wright se dresse avec une austérité minérale face aux rigueurs du bouclier laurentien, là où le ciel bas semble peser sur les crêtes de la colline Sudbury. Sous la clarté crue de l’hiver, la terre se fige dans une immobilité spectrale, tandis que le vent cisèle les reliefs de cette contrée forgée par l’extraction du fer. À deux kilomètres, les eaux sombres du lac Peter conservent le silence des profondeurs sous une croûte de glace, offrant un contraste saisissant avec l’activité incessante des installations industrielles qui dictent le rythme des jours. Plus loin, la rivière aux Pékans serpente à travers le terrain accidenté, traçant une ligne de vie glaciale à sept kilomètres du site, tandis que les vastes étendues du parc provincial Duley Lake, situé à vingt-quatre kilomètres, préservent une nature sauvage restée sourde aux fracas des concasseurs. La persistance de Mont-Wright tient à cette lutte constante contre un environnement indomptable, où les hommes ont bâti une existence singulière sur le socle même de la roche. Entre l’âpreté du minerai et la pureté glacée des horizons, chaque geste quotidien porte la marque d’une ténacité qui défie le froid, transformant cette rudesse géographique en une permanence presque solennelle.

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.
Location data for Mont-Wright is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
