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 Vieux-Comptoir.
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.

Vieux-Comptoir is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Vieux-Comptoir is located at 52.6033°N, 78.7053°W.
Vieux-Comptoir rests along the expansive, frigid reaches of the St. Lawrence, where the land meets the water in a quiet, enduring collision of rock and tide. It lies 41.7 km north-north-west of Eastmain, QC (from Eastmain, QC: bearing 341°T), and is situated 15.1 km north-west of Asikunitakupuch. The terrain surrounding Vieux-Comptoir rises toward the rocky profile of the Colline Katisakas, offering a vantage point over the dark, northern currents of the Rivière du Vieux Comptoir. Inland, the landscape holds the stillness of the taiga, punctuated six kilometers away by the quiet expanse of Lac Kapikutatamu. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting long shadows across the lichen-covered stone and making the cold air feel as sharp and clear as broken glass. The history of Vieux-Comptoir is tied to the movement of people across these northern waterways, reflecting a legacy of trade and navigation in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. Life in Vieux-Comptoir follows the seasonal demands of the climate, where the economy remains grounded in the traditional harvest and the practicalities of the northern environment. Elders recall the patterns of the land with a precision that mirrors the changing ice, and there is a particular dignity in the way the local people navigate the rugged geography. During the brief, frantic pulse of the short summer, the air thrums with the activity of those preparing for the long silence of winter, a cycle that defines the character of all who call Vieux-Comptoir home.
Vieux-Comptoir se dresse avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte le relief avec une constance impitoyable. À proximité, la Colline Katisakas domine les terres basses, offrant un belvédère naturel sur les eaux sombres de la Rivière du Vieux Comptoir qui serpente vers l'estuaire. L’atmosphère y possède cette clarté froide propre aux contrées nordiques, une lumière qui semble suspendre le mouvement des choses dès que le soleil décline derrière l’horizon. À quelques kilomètres, le Lac Kapikutatamu repose dans un silence immuable, ses abords tourbeux rappelant la patience des anciens qui ont foulé ces sols bien avant l'arrivée des premières structures de traite. Vieux-Comptoir conserve dans sa géographie une rigueur austère, une intimité sauvage où chaque rocher et chaque oscillation de la marée racontent une existence tournée vers les caprices de la nature. La vie quotidienne y suit le rythme lent des éléments, loin du tumulte des grandes routes, offrant une solitude habitée par le sifflement du vent entre les rives. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas facilement, il se mérite par une attention soutenue à la texture du sol et à la danse des nuages sur la surface plane des eaux.
