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 Rivière-Chalifour.
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.

Rivière-Chalifour is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rivière-Chalifour is located at 50.4036°N, 73.6817°W.
Rivière-Chalifour emerges as a quiet sentinel along the expansive, cool-water reach of Lac Mistassini. It lies 14.4 km east of Mistissini, QC (from Mistissini, QC: bearing 96°T), and is situated 5.8 km east of Kaawiipuuskasich. The land surrounding Rivière-Chalifour rises toward the rugged silhouette of Colline Kaapinsuwehpetaanuch, where the dark, coniferous forest yields to rocky outcrops and the persistent, low-slung light of the north. Life here follows the pulse of the Rivière Chalifour, a waterway that dictates the movement of the seasons and the shifting moods of the air. In the stillness of evening, the horizon settles into a deep, bruised indigo, casting the terrain in a clarity that makes every stone and pine needle feel sharp against the darkening sky. The history of Rivière-Chalifour remains rooted in the enduring presence of the Eeyou, whose knowledge of these waterways has sustained the region for generations. Economic life in Rivière-Chalifour turns upon the natural rhythms of the land, drawing from the seasonal cycles that govern the north. The proximity to Lac Mistassini and the winding path of the Rivière Chalifour foster a culture of resourcefulness, where the daily activities of the people align with the demands of the wilderness. Near the base of Colline Kaapinsuwehpetaanuch, the silence is rarely empty, filled instead by the soft, constant rush of water and the wind moving through the spruce, marking the passage of time in a landscape that requires a patient and watchful heart.
Rivière-Chalifour se déploie avec une sérénité sauvage là où les eaux vastes du Lac Mistassini rencontrent la terre ferme, sous le regard immuable de la Colline Kaapinsuwehpetaanuch. Dans ce territoire de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, l’horizon s’étire avec une sobriété minérale, soulignée par le cours sinueux de la Rivière Chalifour qui sculpte le sol forestier de ses méandres silencieux. À l’heure où le soleil décline, une lumière d’ambre vient caresser les rives, révélant la texture rugueuse des écorces et le velouté des mousses qui tapissent le sous-bois. La vie ici suit le rythme lent des marées intérieures et des cycles ancestraux, portée par une culture qui puise sa force dans la proximité immédiate avec ces étendues boréales. Rivière-Chalifour semble alors suspendue dans un équilibre précaire entre l’immensité des espaces nordiques et la permanence des usages locaux. L’air, chargé d’une fraîcheur vive et odorante, transporte avec lui le souvenir des passages anciens, tandis que les habitants maintiennent vivantes des traditions liées à la subsistance et au respect profond de cet environnement. Chaque pierre, chaque courant, chaque relief se fond dans une atmosphère où le temps semble suspendre son vol, laissant place à la seule vérité du vent et de la terre.

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.
