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 Nitassinan.
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.

Nitassinan is a locality in Fermont; Caniapiscau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Nitassinan is located at 52.8300°N, 67.1975°W.
Nitassinan emerges from the rugged expanse of the Canadian Shield as a landscape defined by its stark, resilient northern character. It lies 8.0 km west-north-west of Fermont, QC (from Fermont, QC: bearing 297°T), and is situated 10.6 km north-east of Mont-Wright. The terrain surrounding Nitassinan is dominated by the presence of Sudbury Hill, a sentinel rising above a land of resilient spruce and exposed stone. Nearby, the waters of Nip Lake catch the fleeting, amber light of late afternoon, mirroring a sky that often feels vast and indifferent to the clock. Just thirteen kilometers away, the quiet boundaries of Duley Lake Provincial Park offer a refuge of stillness, while the Ironstone River cuts a persistent path through the wilderness, its flow a constant, low-frequency hum against the silence of the barrens. The history of Nitassinan is anchored in the hard, elemental labor of the north, where the earth provides both the challenge and the livelihood for those who dwell here. Industry dictates the pace of life, with the local economy shaped by the extraction of minerals that have defined the region’s development for generations. Even amidst the industrial weight, there is a distinct cultural heritage rooted in the Indigenous history of the territory, a legacy that informs the daily life and seasonal movements of the people. In Nitassinan, the air carries a crisp, metallic edge, and the deep, enduring cold of winter acts as a reminder of the raw, unyielding nature of the landscape that persists just beyond the threshold of every home.
Nitassinan s’étire avec une noblesse austère sous un ciel qui semble parfois plus vaste que la terre elle-même, là où la rudesse du bouclier canadien sculpte des horizons d’une franchise absolue. À proximité, le lac Nip offre ses eaux calmes aux reflets changeants, tandis que la rivière Ironstone poursuit son cheminement discret à travers une topographie marquée par la présence imposante de la colline Sudbury. Le paysage, modelé par une industrie minière qui définit le rythme des jours, se déploie non loin du parc provincial Duley Lake, invitant à une contemplation silencieuse des terres sauvages. Nitassinan porte en elle la mémoire des peuples nomades qui ont parcouru ces espaces bien avant que le métal ne devienne la mesure du temps et le moteur de l'activité humaine. Lorsque le crépuscule descend sur les plateaux, la lumière se fait rare et bleutée, révélant la texture minérale du sol et la persistance d'une nature qui ne se laisse jamais totalement apprivoiser. Les habitants, habitués à composer avec ce climat exigeant, entretiennent une relation de respect mutuel avec cette étendue démesurée, trouvant dans la rigueur des éléments une forme de beauté dépouillée, loin des artifices, où chaque ombre portée sur les roches anciennes raconte une histoire de résilience et de présence inébranlable.

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.
