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 Tour-Boissinot.
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.

Tour-Boissinot is a locality in Rivière-Mouchalagane; Caniapiscau, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Tour-Boissinot is located at 51.6131°N, 68.0778°W.
Tour-Boissinot rises as a sentinel of stone and weathered granite amidst the rugged expanse of the Les Jumelles. It lies 147.8 km south-south-west of Fermont, QC (from Fermont, QC: bearing 207°T), and is situated 15.4 km north-north-east of La Porte-des-Bouleaux. The terrain here holds a stark, primordial stillness, where the light at dusk clings to the rock face like a cooling ember. Only a kilometer away, the waters of Lac des Surveillants mirror the vast, unrelenting sky, providing a dark contrast to the lichen-crusted heights. Further out, the Rivière Beaupin carves its path through the wilderness, its presence felt in the humid chill that persists even when the wind dies down. Tour-Boissinot commands a view of this austere horizon, standing firm against the elements that have shaped the surrounding barrens into a landscape of quiet, uncompromising solitude. The history of Tour-Boissinot aligns with the broader push into the interior of Caniapiscau, where the pursuit of resources dictates the terms of human endurance. Life here is defined by the seasonal shift of the northern climate, a cycle that demands both resilience and a measured pace from those who traverse these lands. The local economy persists in the shadow of industrial interest, drawing upon the mineral potential that lies beneath the thin, stubborn soil. Despite the isolation, the character of the region remains tied to the vastness of the territory, where the silence of the bush offers a different kind of wealth. People here engage with the land with a pragmatic grace, navigating the distances between the high ridges and the hidden basins of Lac des Surveillants with a familiarity born of long, cold winters.
Tour-Boissinot s’impose dans l’immensité sauvage de la région de Rivière-Mouchalagane, là où la terre semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière boréale qui étire les ombres jusqu’aux confins des Jumelles. Le silence minéral du sol, façonné par des ères géologiques oubliées, trouve un écho dans la proximité immédiate du Lac des Surveillants, dont les eaux immobiles recueillent, chaque soir, les derniers reflets d’un ciel cuivré. À une dizaine de kilomètres, le courant discret de la Rivière Beaupin sculpte le relief avec une lenteur obstinée, rappelant la patience nécessaire à ceux qui habitent ces confins. La rudesse du climat forge ici des existences dépouillées de tout superflu, où le travail et la survie se confondent dans une danse quotidienne avec les éléments. Tour-Boissinot porte en ses terres la mémoire des horizons vastes, une solitude fière que ne viennent troubler ni l’agitation des hommes ni le tumulte des cités lointaines. Ce paysage austère, dépourvu d’artifices, révèle une beauté brute dans la texture des mousses et la robustesse des formations rocheuses qui défient les vents. Chaque souffle d’air glacial porte en lui l’essence d’un monde préservé, une terre où l’humain se fait humble visiteur face à la permanence glacée des paysages qui l’entourent.
