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-Wedding.
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-Wedding is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Rivière-Wedding is located at 49.2072°N, 77.1222°W.
Rivière-Wedding rests within the rugged expanse of the Colline Franquet, a landscape defined by the persistent, dark passage of the Rivière Wedding. It lies 20.3 km north-north-west of Lebel-sur-Quévillon, QC (from Lebel-sur-Quévillon, QC: bearing 328°T), and is situated 25.3 km south-east of Kâpakebîhâk. The air here holds a sharp, crystalline clarity, cooling rapidly as the sun retreats behind the uneven crown of the trees, leaving the terrain to settle into a hushed and heavy solitude. Throughout the day, the water moves with a deliberate, obsidian grace, reflecting the muted tones of the boreal canopy and the stark, unyielding edges of the surrounding geology. There is a singular beauty in the way the light clings to the surface of the Rivière Wedding, turning the current into a ribbon of hammered silver that cuts through the quiet density of the north. The presence of Rivière-Wedding is marked by the enduring influence of the land, where the local economy has long mirrored the cycles of the natural resources found throughout Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. Labour here is often measured by the seasonal shifts in the forest and the extraction of mineral wealth, grounding the character of the site in a tradition of quiet resilience. History manifests not in monuments, but in the steady, pragmatic persistence of those who navigate the terrain, acknowledging the deep Indigenous heritage that preceded modern industry. Life in Rivière-Wedding follows the subtle demands of the climate, where the transition between seasons dictates the pulse of the day, transforming the landscape into a place of profound, austere stillness.
Rivière-Wedding se déploie avec une sobriété minérale au sein de la Colline Franquet, où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous un ciel immense. Le regard s'attarde sur les méandres de la Rivière Wedding, dont le cours sombre et lent dessine une frontière naturelle entre les massifs rocheux et la forêt boréale. Ici, l'air porte une fraîcheur résineuse, presque métallique, qui rappelle la rigueur du Nord-du-Québec et le poids historique de l'exploitation des ressources dans ces terres éloignées. Les journées s'étirent dans une lumière déclinante, baignant les pentes de la Colline Franquet d'une clarté dorée qui accentue la texture brute des affleurements de pierre. Rivière-Wedding observe le passage silencieux des eaux, tandis que le silence, loin d'être un vide, s'impose comme une présence dense, familière à ceux qui habitent ce territoire isolé. L'activité humaine, humble face à l'immensité du relief, s'organise selon les rythmes lents de cette contrée, où chaque lever de soleil sur la Rivière Wedding confirme une permanence silencieuse. La rudesse du terrain n'entame jamais la dignité de ce paysage, offrant aux rares visiteurs une sensation de solitude pure, dénuée d'artifice, où la nature dicte sa loi avec une élégance austère.
