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 Obaska.
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.

Obaska is a hamlet in Senneterre; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Obaska is located at 48.2180°N, 77.3494°W.
Obaska sits low against the horizon, anchored by the presence of the Montagne de la Tour and the persistent, dark pull of the Rivière Pascalis. It lies 20.8 km south-south-west of Senneterre, QC (from Senneterre, QC: bearing 203°T), and is situated 16.6 km north of Louvicourt. The air here holds a sharp, metallic clarity, often cooling rapidly as the light leans toward the blue edge of dusk. Obaska rests within a landscape shaped by dense boreal reaches, where the proximity of Lac Tiblemont, lying about 4 km away, dictates the movement of wind and the migration of shadow across the uneven terrain. The ground feels heavy with the dampness of the surrounding woods, and the silence that settles between the trees carries the weight of a northern wilderness that refuses to be tamed. The life of Obaska remains tied to the hard, extractive pulse of the region, where the earth has long yielded its mineral wealth to those willing to work the bedrock. Generations have looked to the rugged potential of the land, finding purpose in the industries that define the character of Senneterre and La Vallée-de-l'Or. While the modern pace demands efficiency, the daily existence in Obaska still follows the requirements of the seasons, shifting from the frantic thaw of spring to the deep, muffled stillness of winter. The history of the region lingers in the way the local roads skirt the edges of the Rivière Pascalis, marking a long tradition of human endurance in a territory that offers little to those who do not respect its limits.
Obaska surgit des terres forestières de La Vallée-de-l'Or, là où le sol garde la mémoire des activités minières qui ont façonné son existence. À l'approche du crépuscule, la lumière décline avec une lenteur particulière sur la Montagne de la Tour, projetant des ombres étirées qui semblent suspendre le mouvement des arbres. Non loin de là, les eaux de la Rivière Pascalis suivent leur cours discret, accompagnant le silence de ces vastes étendues boréales. À peine à quatre kilomètres, le Lac Tiblemont miroite sous le ciel changeant, offrant un horizon apaisé aux habitants qui partagent la rudesse et la noblesse de ce climat rigoureux. Obaska conserve cette allure modeste des lieux façonnés par l'industrie et le travail de la terre, où chaque bâtiment semble attendre le retour de la clarté matinale. La présence constante de la forêt environnante dicte le rythme quotidien, imposant une proximité avec une nature sauvage qui ne s'efface jamais tout à fait. Dans cette atmosphère où l'air devient vif et tranchant dès que le soleil s'abaisse, Obaska maintient une identité singulière, portée par la ténacité de ses résidents et l'immensité silencieuse de ses paysages naturels.

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.
