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 Snake Creek.
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.

Snake Creek is a locality in Les Lacs-du-Témiscamingue; Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Snake Creek is located at 46.4356°N, 78.8064°W.
Snake Creek follows a serpentine path through the rugged terrain of Les Lacs-du-Témiscamingue, carving its way toward the Rivière Antoine near the St. Laurent Hill. It lies 15.5 km north-north-west of Mattawa, QC (from Mattawa, QC: bearing 331°T), and is situated 1.5 km north of Smith's Landing. The water here moves with a deliberate, low-slung weight, reflecting the dense canopy of the surrounding Canadian Shield where the light at dusk turns the pine needles to a deep, bruised copper. Lac Pat sits in a basin nearby, its stillness providing a sharp contrast to the constant, liquid friction of the creek as it negotiates the rocky, uneven floor of the forest. This landscape holds a quiet, heavy cold, a reminder that the land here is defined by the endurance of stone and the slow, persistent work of glacial melt. The history of Snake Creek is tied to the movement of timber and the hard-won extraction that once defined the economic pulse of this region. While the modern pace of life in Les Lacs-du-Témiscamingue has shifted away from the intensive logging camps of the past, the local identity stays grounded in a relationship with the wilderness that is both practical and wary. Further out, the presence of Paresseux Falls echoes in the memory of the land, a reminder of the power inherent in the regional waterways that once drove the local industry. Everyday life here requires an attentive eye to the changing seasons, as the inhabitants maintain a quiet respect for the boundaries set by the Rivière Antoine and the forested heights that cradle the creek.
Snake Creek s'étire avec une humilité tranquille sur les rives de la Rivière Antoine, là où le terrain s'incline doucement vers les contreforts de la colline St. Laurent. L'air y possède une densité particulière, chargée d'effluves résineux et de cette fraîcheur limpide qui précède souvent les longues soirées du Témiscamingue. À quelques encablures, le Lac Pat miroite sous un ciel qui semble s'élargir démesurément, tandis que le souvenir des chutes Paresseux, situées à une distance respectueuse, accompagne le murmure constant de l'eau qui sculpte la terre. Snake Creek porte en ses terres une mémoire faite de labeur et de patience, une persévérance silencieuse qui se lit dans la droiture des arbres et la rectitude des sentiers. Les habitants observent le crépuscule envelopper les reliefs de teintes cuivrées, un spectacle quotidien qui transforme la rudesse du climat en une sorte de bénédiction calme. Ici, la vie s'ajuste au rythme des éléments, loin des tumultes, dans une harmonie simple où chaque pierre et chaque courbe du terrain racontent une existence tournée vers les forces primordiales de la nature boréale.

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.
