Map of Matchi-Manitou, QC, Canada
Until July 6, 1996, Matchi-Manitou was a vast unorganized territory encompassing 16,760 square kilometres (6,470 sq mi). On that day, most of it was added to the City of Senneterre and a smaller portion to the City of Val-d'Or. It retained only two small non-contiguous areas, of which its eastern part is a section of land straddling both banks of the Chochocouane River and mostly part of the La Vérendrye Wildlife Reserve.
It is named after Matchi-Manitou Lake (48°01′N 77°03′W), which used to be within its limits, but since 1996 is part of Senneterre and Val-d'Or.
