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 Arqusiugaq.
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.

Arqusiugaq is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Arqusiugaq is located at 60.5547°N, 69.7606°W.
Arqusiugaq rests within the austere expanse of the Colline Nasivvik, a landscape defined by the relentless geology of the north and the nearby reach of the St. Lawrence. It lies 53.8 km south of Quaqtaq, QC (from Quaqtaq, QC: bearing 188°T), and is situated 5.3 km east-south-east of Manirainnaat. The light here possesses a singular, bruising clarity, turning the horizon into a sharp line where the bruised sky meets the rock-strewn earth. While the Rivière Arvaviup curls through the tundra some six kilometers from the settlement, the silence of the region is punctuated only by the low, rhythmic sigh of wind moving over the lichen-crusted granite. Ten kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Nipirqanaq holds the reflection of the clouds, offering a cold, mirror-like depth that defines the character of the surrounding terrain. Life in Arqusiugaq persists with a quiet resilience, anchored by generations of Indigenous presence that respects the unforgiving demands of the climate. The local economy relies on the seasonal harvest and the careful stewardship of the land, with traditional practices providing the primary pulse of the year. Small, sturdy structures huddle against the frost, their presence unassuming against the vast, open grandeur of the Colline Nasivvik. In the long, dim hours of the northern winter, the warmth of a hearth serves as the focal point for a culture that has learned to thrive in a landscape where the earth itself seems to hold its breath.
Arqusiugaq s'étire avec une patience minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du Nord sculpte le relief de la Colline Nasivvik. La lumière déclinante y dépose une teinte d'ocre sur les roches anciennes, tandis que le silence, seulement rompu par le murmure lointain de la Rivière Arvaviup qui serpente à six kilomètres, impose une solennité presque religieuse. À dix kilomètres de là, le Lac Nipirqanaq retient les dernières lueurs du jour dans ses eaux sombres, miroir immobile d'un ciel immense et dépouillé. Dans cet univers où la terre semble encore hésiter entre la pierre et la glace, Arqusiugaq maintient une présence singulière, forgée par la rigueur du climat et la proximité des éléments sauvages. Les habitants y perpétuent des gestes hérités de leurs ancêtres, une attention constante aux variations du vent et aux cycles de la faune qui habitent les plateaux environnants. Chaque détail du paysage, de la pente abrupte de la Colline Nasivvik jusqu'à la brume qui monte des berges, révèle une existence façonnée par l'isolement et la beauté brute de ces latitudes. La rudesse du sol ne trahit jamais la noblesse de ce cadre, offrant une clarté visuelle si pure que chaque contour semble redessiné par le froid.

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.
