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 Vilroc.
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.

Vilroc is a locality in Rouyn-Noranda; Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Vilroc is located at 48.1081°N, 79.2578°W.
Vilroc sits amidst the rugged, low-lying terrain of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, defined by the enduring presence of the Montagne des Pins. It lies 22.9 km south-west of Rouyn-Noranda, QC (from Rouyn-Noranda, QC: bearing 231°T), and is situated 24.1 km east of Virginiatown. The landscape here holds a particular stillness, where the air often carries the sharp, resinous scent of spruce and the cool dampness rising from the earth. Three kilometers away, the surface of Lac Évain mirrors the shifting grey and violet hues of the sky, acting as a quiet anchor for the surrounding woods. Within this terrain, the Rivière Granville follows its own course some nine kilometers distant, carving a path through the wilderness that has long defined the character of the land. At dusk, the light clings to the ridges of the Montagne des Pins, turning the granite outcrops into silhouettes that seem to hold the weight of the coming night. The history of Vilroc reflects the broader industrial pulse of Rouyn-Noranda, where the extraction of mineral wealth has directed the movement of people and the clearing of timber for over a century. Daily life in Vilroc moves with a pragmatic focus, shaped by the demands of the regional economy and the harsh, honest requirements of the northern climate. While the sounds of industry sometimes carry across the distance, the people here maintain a quiet connection to the woods that press against their doorsteps. Local traditions are kept in the small, private gestures of those who work the land, finding value in the cyclical changes of the seasons. Despite the reach of modern machinery, Vilroc preserves an isolation that keeps the modern world at a distance, allowing the deep, ancient quiet of the Abitibi landscape to remain the primary occupant of the space.
Vilroc s’étire sur le socle granitique de l’Abitibi, là où la terre garde la mémoire des anciennes concessions agricoles et des travaux de prospection qui ont façonné l’identité rude de la région. Le paysage se déploie dans une lumière cuivrée lorsque le soleil décline derrière la Montagne des Pins, projetant des ombres étirées sur les terres basses qui bordent le Lac Évain, distant de trois kilomètres à peine. L’air, chargé d’une humidité boréale, semble s’alourdir à mesure que l’on s’approche des méandres de la Rivière Granville, située à neuf kilomètres, dont le cours lent rythme la respiration de Vilroc. Ici, la vie quotidienne se règle sur une temporalité minérale, héritée des efforts déployés pour défricher ces étendues couvertes de conifères. Les habitations, dispersées avec une simplicité fonctionnelle, tournent le dos aux rigueurs climatiques pour mieux accueillir les premières lueurs d’un jour qui se lève sur une topographie accidentée. Les habitants observent une discrétion presque cérémonielle envers ce territoire, acceptant la domination imposée par la roche et le silence des forêts environnantes, tout en maintenant les traditions de résilience qui persistent malgré les soubresauts de l’économie minière et forestière locale.

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.
