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 Phipps.
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.

Phipps is a locality in Senneterre; La Vallée-de-l'Or, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Phipps is located at 48.3389°N, 77.1186°W.
Phipps occupies a rugged reach of land where the earth rises into the prominence of the Montagne de la Tour, casting a long, steady shadow over the surrounding terrain. It lies 10.7 km east-south-east of Senneterre, QC (from Senneterre, QC: bearing 122°T), and is situated 18.7 km east-south-east of Belcourt. The Rivière Mégiscane carves a persistent path through this expanse, its dark waters holding the bruised violet light of late afternoon with a heavy, liquid stillness. Beyond the reach of the trees, the air carries a crisp, metallic edge that hints at the vast, unpeopled distances stretching toward the horizon, while the land itself remains defined by the austere, enduring presence of the Montagne de la Tour. Historically, Phipps functioned as a quiet pivot point for the movement of timber and the slow expansion of northern enterprise, drawing its character from the demanding rhythms of the forest and the river. While Lac Clair sits tucked into the surrounding wilderness only a short distance away, the pulse of Phipps stays centered on the movement of the Rivière Mégiscane, which once served as the primary artery for local labor. Modern life here maintains a deliberate, focused pace, grounded in a deep familiarity with the changing seasons that strip the landscape to its essential bones. The industry of the region persists as a quiet dialogue between the workers and the timber, maintaining a solitude that feels both ancient and entirely present.
Phipps s'étire dans une solitude contemplative, là où le souffle boréal caresse les flancs de la Montagne de la Tour. Le silence y possède une densité particulière, surtout lorsque le crépuscule dépose une lumière ambrée sur les eaux sombres de la Rivière Mégiscane, dont le courant semble porter en lui le poids d'une histoire forestière et ferroviaire. À quelques lieues de là, les reflets argentés du Lac Clair ajoutent une note de sérénité minérale à ce relief tourmenté par les âges. Phipps vit au rythme du bois et des rails, conservant une identité façonnée par les travailleurs qui, jadis, ont dompté cette terre sauvage pour en extraire la richesse. L'air y est vif, chargé de l'odeur des conifères et de l'humidité persistante des sous-bois, rappelant sans cesse la rigueur des éléments. Ici, les gestes des hommes s'ajustent à la rudesse du sol et à l'immensité du ciel qui surplombe les crêtes. Entre les sentiers escarpés et les rives silencieuses, Phipps demeure une halte discrète, une présence humaine humble qui s'efface devant la majesté indomptable de ces paysages québécois, où chaque pierre semble chuchoter le souvenir des pionniers ayant arpenté ces terres isolées de La Vallée-de-l'Or.

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.
