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 Aasiwaskwasich.
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.

Aasiwaskwasich is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Aasiwaskwasich is located at 55.1044°N, 76.8789°W.
Aasiwaskwasich rests within the rugged expanse of the Colline Aminapiskasich, where the earth holds a quiet, austere permanence. It lies 58.8 km east-south-east of Kuujjuarapik, QC (from Kuujjuarapik, QC: bearing 109°T), and is situated 2.2 km west-north-west of Awikwataukach. The terrain here is shaped by the ancient weight of the north, marked by outcrops that catch the low-slung, golden light of the arctic sun before it slips behind the horizon. Lac Atikamakw Autamapakaut sits nearby, its surface reflecting the vast, open sky like a mirror of dark iron, while the Rivière Kaschikwaunatikw traces a path through the distance, carrying the melt of the season toward the hidden reaches of the north. The air carries a crisp, mineral sharpness that settles in the lungs, a reminder of the immense, unpeopled spaces that define the character of this northern landscape. Life in Aasiwaskwasich follows the dictates of a land that demands respect and a keen awareness of the changing seasons. The heritage of this region is deeply rooted in the traditions of those who have navigated these waterways and high grounds for generations, maintaining a connection to the cycles of the earth that persists despite the modern push of industry. Residents often find that the stillness of the surrounding Colline Aminapiskasich offers a particular clarity, one that makes the simple act of gathering wood or traveling toward the Rivière Kaschikwaunatikw feel like a profound engagement with the world. Here, the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the lengthening shadows across the stone and the shifting temperament of the wind.
Aasiwaskwasich se dresse avec une austérité minérale au sein de la Colline Aminapiskasich, là où le vent du Nord sculpte la roche ancienne avec une insistance silencieuse. Sous une lumière crépusculaire qui étire les ombres sur le lichen, le sol se fait tour à tour souple et rocailleux, offrant une terre dont la rudesse impose le respect. À proximité, le Lac Atikamakw Autamapakaut étincelle sous un ciel immense, ses eaux sombres retenant le froid des hautes latitudes comme une mémoire liquide et immobile. Plus loin, la Rivière Kaschikwaunatikw poursuit son tracé impétueux à travers la toundra, marquant le terrain d'une cicatrice vive qui irrigue la solitude environnante. Aasiwaskwasich vit au rythme de ces éléments, dans une harmonie dépouillée où chaque souffle d'air chargé de sel et d'humidité rappelle la présence constante des vastes espaces boréaux. La vie se déploie ici sans artifice, portée par une résilience que partagent les êtres habitués à la rigueur de la pierre et à l'immensité du ciel. L'existence se concentre dans cette alliance entre la terre ferme de la Colline Aminapiskasich et le murmure des eaux, forgeant une identité austère qui puise sa force dans la pureté glacée de ces paysages du Nord-du-Québec.
