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 Moss Mine.
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.

Moss Mine is a locality in Pontiac; Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Moss Mine is located at 45.5708°N, 76.2497°W.
Moss Mine rests within the rugged, quiet reaches of Pontiac, where the land holds the weight of its mineral history beneath a canopy of dense, persistent timber. It lies 17.3 km north-north-east of Arnprior, QC (from Arnprior, QC: bearing 29°T), and is situated 5.8 km north-north-west of Quyon. The earth here possesses a stubborn character, defined by rocky outcrops and the cool, shadowed air that gathers near Lac Burns, located about 4 km away. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, clinging to the ridges before slipping into the deep hollows where the silence is absolute. A sense of containment defines the geography, with the Rivière Quyon winding its course about 6 km away, carving a path through the stillness that has long defined the local terrain. Further out, the landscape opens toward the greenery of Fitzroy Provincial Park, which lies about 10 km away, offering a contrast to the industrial scars left by the past. The story of Moss Mine lingers in the abandoned shafts and the rusted remnants of extraction, a reminder of the laborers who once sought fortune in these stubborn hills. While the clamor of heavy machinery has long since faded, the local economy keeps a steady, modest pace, favoring the quiet resilience of small-scale forestry and agriculture over the frantic pulse of the industry that birthed the site. Life in the vicinity of Moss Mine follows the turning of the seasons, where the primary tradition is one of self-reliance and an intimate knowledge of the encroaching woods. People here understand the land not as a resource to be mastered, but as a vast, enduring presence that demands a certain humility from those who live among its stony slopes.
Moss Mine s’installe avec une gravité tranquille dans le paysage accidenté du Pontiac, où la terre garde le souvenir des efforts souterrains qui ont autrefois sculpté son identité. Sous une lumière déclinante qui étire les ombres sur les affleurements rocheux, le sol semble encore porter le poids des anciennes extractions, une présence minérale qui dialogue avec le calme des environs. À proximité, le Lac Burns étend sa surface immobile, miroir sombre et lisse qui capte les derniers éclats du jour, tandis que la Rivière Quyon poursuit son cours discret, à peine audible dans le silence des sous-bois. Non loin, le parc provincial Fitzroy impose sa stature naturelle, offrant un contraste de verdure dense face à la rudesse du terrain où Moss Mine a vu naître ses premières ambitions industrielles. L’air y est vif, chargé d’une humidité légère qui rappelle la proximité des eaux et la rigueur du climat québécois. Les habitants circulent dans cet espace avec la lenteur de ceux qui connaissent le rythme lent des saisons et la patience du roc. Ici, l’histoire ne s’écrit pas avec de grands gestes, mais dans la persistance du travail et la beauté austère d’un relief qui ne cherche jamais à plaire, préférant demeurer fidèle à sa propre et silencieuse rigueur.
