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 Taschereau.
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.

Taschereau is a municipality in Taschereau; Abitibi-Ouest, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Taschereau is located at 48.6628°N, 78.6848°W.
Taschereau rests upon a landscape defined by the steady, dark flow of the Rivière du Lac Genest, carving its way through the rugged terrain of Abitibi-Ouest. It lies 41.4 km east-south-east of La Sarre, QC (from La Sarre, QC: bearing 113°T), and is situated 14.7 km east-south-east of Authier. The presence of the nearby Colline Kactinowetci provides a silent, elevated backdrop to the horizon, while the waters of Lac Taschereau wait just a kilometer away, holding the stillness of the boreal sky in their depths. As dusk settles, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet, clinging to the spruce needles and the damp earth with a quiet intensity that momentarily halts the movement of the day. Founded as a hub for the northern railway, Taschereau carries the long-standing influence of timber and agricultural settlement, where the echoes of iron wheels once signaled the pulse of the regional economy. Today, the pace of life reflects the surrounding geography, drawing a modest, resilient character from the proximity of Parc national d'Aiguebelle, which sits nineteen kilometers distant, preserving the wilder aspects of the terrain. Residents move through their routines with a grounded awareness of the seasons, noting how the frost arrives early to coat the Rivière du Lac Genest in a thin, glass-like skin, marking the transition from the labor of the harvest to the long, contemplative silence of the winter months.
Taschereau s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les terres de l'Abitibi-Ouest, là où le sol garde encore la mémoire des efforts acharnés pour défricher une nature sauvage et obstinée. La silhouette de la Colline Kactinowetci domine les environs, offrant un relief protecteur à ceux qui vivent au rythme des travaux de la terre et du bois, héritiers d'une colonisation bâtie sur le labeur. À proximité, les eaux de la Rivière du Lac Genest serpentent avec une lenteur tranquille, reflétant les ciels changeants qui s'étendent au-dessus des vastes horizons nordiques. À quelques pas, le Lac Taschereau semble retenir le souffle du vent, tandis que les vastes étendues du Parc national d'Aiguebelle, situé à une vingtaine de kilomètres, rappellent la puissance indomptable de la forêt boréale. Lorsque le crépuscule s'installe, une lumière particulière baigne Taschereau, soulignant la rudesse du terrain et la chaleur des foyers qui résistent au gel. L'air y possède une netteté tranchante, presque sacrée, qui rappelle aux habitants que leur existence demeure liée à cette géographie exigeante. Ici, la vie se définit par la présence constante de ces repères naturels, forgeant une identité simple où chaque journée se mesure à la patience du bois qui pousse et à l'immensité des espaces qui entourent les habitations.

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.
