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 Nichabau.
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.

Nichabau is a hamlet in Chichester; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Nichabau is located at 45.9697°N, 77.1347°W.
Nichabau rests in the quiet embrace of the Pontiac, where the land rises to meet the shadows cast by The Three Hills. It lies 13.7 km north-east of Petawawa, QC (from Petawawa, QC: bearing 50°T), and is situated 8.1 km north-west of Chapeau. The terrain around Nichabau holds a stillness that seems to gather in the hollows near Lac Dennie, just a short walk away. When the light leans low against the horizon, the air takes on a crisp, metallic edge, sharpening the silhouette of the trees against the sky. Further out, the landscape opens toward the Petawawa River, which carries the weight of the spring runoff through the valley. Beyond the immediate reach of the hills, the Chutes de la Rivière Noire marks a more turbulent stretch of water, while the protected expanse of the Réserve écologique de la Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay guards a pocket of quiet growth that has persisted for generations. History in Nichabau lingers in the persistent work of those who cleared the brush to make room for small-scale agriculture and timber harvesting. The local economy maintains a steady, modest pace, grounded in the seasonal realities of the forest and the land. People here observe the shifts in the weather with a practiced eye, knowing that the cycles of the earth dictate the work of the day as much as any clock. Traditions are kept in the quiet maintenance of woodlots and the shared knowledge of the trails that wind through the brush. Life in Nichabau follows the slow, deliberate pulse of the seasons, where the primary occupation remains a careful dialogue with the surrounding woods and the enduring character of the Canadian shield.
Nichabau s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les terres basses de Chichester, là où la lumière déclinante du soir semble s'attarder plus longuement sur les collines The Three. À peine à un kilomètre, les eaux calmes du lac Dennie captent les reflets changeants du ciel, offrant une respiration minérale à ce paysage façonné par le travail patient des générations. La rivière Petawawa serpente à douze kilomètres de distance, insufflant une fraîcheur constante aux terres environnantes, tandis que le rugissement lointain des chutes de la Rivière Noire, situées à dix-huit kilomètres, se devine parfois dans le silence des nuits d'été. Plus loin, à vingt et un kilomètres, la réserve écologique de la Chênaie-des-Îles-Finlay protège un héritage naturel que les habitants de Nichabau respectent comme une présence familière. Ici, l'économie puise sa force dans l'exploitation forestière et une agriculture qui exige une persévérance quotidienne, loin des agitations urbaines. Le caractère de Nichabau se définit par cette alliance entre la rigueur du terrain et une douceur imperceptible qui émane du sol. Chaque chemin menant vers les hauteurs proches rappelle que l'existence se mesure ici par l'intensité des éléments, où la terre, les eaux et le vent composent une mélodie singulière, propre à cette partie du Pontiac.
