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 Montauban-les-Mines.
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.

Montauban-les-Mines is a hamlet in Notre-Dame-de-Montauban; Mékinac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Montauban-les-Mines is located at 46.8281°N, 72.3411°W.
Montauban-les-Mines rests within a rugged fold of the Canadian Shield, cradled by the imposing presence of the Montagne à Groleau. It lies 49.1 km west-north-west of Donnacona, QC (from Donnacona, QC: bearing 291°T), and is situated 12.2 km east of Sainte-Thècle. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity, often cooling rapidly as dusk settles over the Rivière Batiscan, which carves a persistent path through the surrounding stone. Only a kilometer away, the quiet surface of Lac de la Mine reflects the shifting moods of the sky, while the distant, percussive rush of Chutes Morissette provides a low, constant thrum to the landscape. The earth itself feels dense and ancient, holding the chill of the deep woods even when the sun warms the exposed granite ridges. The identity of Montauban-les-Mines remains deeply tied to the extraction of mineral wealth that first drew workers to these hills. While the industrial fervor of the past has softened, the legacy of the mines lingers in the abandoned shafts and the deliberate, hardworking character of those who remain. Life in this corner of Notre-Dame-de-Montauban follows the seasons, moving with a steady, pragmatic focus that ignores the frantic pace of the outside world. Residents often find beauty in the stark contrast between the weathered remnants of human endeavor and the relentless, encroaching forest that slowly reclaims the ground.
Montauban-les-Mines s’éveille sous une lumière cuivrée qui semble vouloir suspendre le temps au-dessus des escarpements rocheux de Mékinac. Le sol, marqué par une mémoire industrielle profonde, garde en ses entrailles le souvenir des hommes qui ont extrait la richesse de la terre pour bâtir les fondations d’un mode de vie robuste et solitaire. À proximité, le Lac de la Mine capte les reflets changeants du ciel, offrant un miroir immobile à la forêt dense qui s’étend vers la Montagne à Groleau. La Rivière Batiscan sculpte le paysage de son cours capricieux, charriant les échos d’un passé minier qui a façonné le caractère tenace des habitants. À cinq kilomètres de là, les Chutes Morissette ponctuent le silence de leur grondement régulier, rappelant la force brute des éléments qui dominent ce relief accidenté. Dans cette partie de Notre-Dame-de-Montauban, le quotidien se règle sur le murmure du vent dans les conifères et la rigueur d’un climat qui exige une présence attentive. Montauban-les-Mines conserve cette allure fière et dépouillée, où chaque sentier semble raconter une histoire de persévérance humaine face à l’immensité sauvage, faisant de chaque journée une patiente conquête sur la rudesse de la pierre et du froid.
