Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Schyan Point.
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.

Schyan Point is a hamlet in Sheenboro; Pontiac, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Schyan Point is located at 46.0969°N, 77.4361°W.
Schyan Point rests as a quiet sentinel where the land bows toward the Rivière Schyan, gathering the stillness of the surrounding woods near the Highview Tower Hill. It lies 5.4 km north-north-west of Deep River, QC (from Deep River, QC: bearing 345°T), and is situated 8.9 km north of Chalk River. The terrain here holds a particular clarity, where the light at dusk clings to the water’s edge with a pale, metallic sheen that turns the dark pines into silhouettes. Within a short distance, the landscape offers its own specific companionship, with Little Rat Lake tucked into the folds of the earth and the protected expanse of the Réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l'Indien standing as a silent neighbor to the east. The air carries the scent of damp moss and cold stone, a crispness that suggests the land is forever waking from a deep, long-held sleep. Life at Schyan Point follows the slow, deliberate pulse of the seasons, defined by the turning of the river and the labor of those who have long worked the rugged terrain of Sheenboro and the Pontiac. The economy here remains rooted in the land, a continuation of forestry and small-scale stewardship that values the weight of a hand-hewn beam or the resilience of a cleared path. There is a profound economy of movement in the local character, a preference for observation over speech, as if the residents are waiting for the Rivière Schyan to reveal its next shift in current. The proximity to the Réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l'Indien ensures that the wilder impulses of the region remain undisturbed, preserving a heritage where the forest is not merely a backdrop but a living participant in the daily affairs of the people.
Schyan Point s’étire avec une simplicité silencieuse le long des rives de la Rivière Schyan, là où le courant semble ralentir pour épouser les courbes du terrain accidenté. À l’approche du crépuscule, la lumière décline sur la colline Highview Tower, projetant des ombres étirées qui enveloppent les terres autrefois marquées par le labeur des pionniers et le rythme des exploitations forestières. La terre, nourrie par une humidité persistante, exhale une odeur de terreau froid et de résineux, tandis que le vent apporte les murmures des escarpements lointains. À deux kilomètres à peine, le lac Little Rat offre une surface miroitante où la faune s’abreuve dans une quiétude absolue, loin des bruits du monde moderne. Plus loin, à quatre kilomètres, la Réserve écologique du Ruisseau-de-l'Indien préserve une nature intacte, rappelant la présence ancestrale des peuples ayant arpenté ces sentiers bien avant que les premières bâtisses ne s’élèvent. En observant Schyan Point depuis les hauteurs, il devient évident que la rudesse du climat et la rigueur du sol ont forgé un caractère indomptable chez ceux qui continuent de cultiver cette parcelle du Pontiac. Chaque pierre, chaque recoin de ce rivage raconte une histoire de patience, façonnée par la confluence des eaux et la solitude bienveillante des bois environnants.

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.
