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 Aupaluk.
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.

Aupaluk is a northern village municipality in Aupaluk; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Aupaluk is located at 59.3000°N, 69.6000°W.
Aupaluk rests as a stark, northern sentinel perched along the expansive waters of the St. Lawrence. It lies 69.4 km north-north-east of Tasiujaq, QC (from Tasiujaq, QC: bearing 16°T), and is situated 3.9 km south-west of Nipirqanaup Paangani. The landscape surrounding Aupaluk is defined by the rugged elevation of the Colline Saputiit, which provides a dramatic backdrop to the low-lying tundra. Near the settlement, the Ruisseau Voltz carves a path through the frozen earth, its movement a quiet contrast to the stillness of the surrounding barrens. Beyond the immediate reach of the dwellings, Lac Nipirqanaq sits nestled in the hollows of the terrain, its surface often reflecting the pale, bruised light of the Arctic sky. The air here holds a sharp, crystalline clarity, carrying the scent of salt and ancient stone, grounding the inhabitants in a vast geography that demands respect for its elemental forces. Life in Aupaluk finds its purpose in the endurance of traditional ways, where the local economy remains closely aligned with the seasonal cycles of the land. Harvesting and subsistence activities provide the core of daily existence, reflecting a heritage that has persisted through generations of northern winters. While the modern world touches Aupaluk through essential infrastructure and external supply lines, the primary industries remain focused on the stewardship of the wildlife and the resources found within the immediate reach of the Colline Saputiit. The people move with a deliberate focus, their labor shaped by the necessity of preparation for the long, encroaching cold that defines the turning of the year. Cultural identity in Aupaluk is deeply rooted in Inuit heritage, expressed through the transmission of knowledge and the quiet strength of family ties. Everyday life follows the dictates of the climate, creating a singular atmosphere where the arrival of a hunter or the gathering of neighbors carries weight and significance. There are no grand monuments or universities here; instead, the character of the place resides in the shared stories told as the light fades across the Ruisseau Voltz. Aupaluk survives as a testament to the human capacity for adaptation, maintaining a distinct presence that thrives in the silence of the north, far removed from the clamor of the southern provinces.
Aupaluk s'étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de plonger dans les eaux froides. La silhouette de la Colline Saputiit domine cet horizon dépouillé, offrant une vigie naturelle sur le mouvement perpétuel des marées et le passage des vents arctiques. À proximité, le Ruisseau Voltz serpente discrètement vers le large, tandis que le Lac Nipirqanaq, figé dans un calme séculaire à quatre kilomètres de distance, renvoie la clarté crue du ciel boréal. Les habitants d'Aupaluk entretiennent un dialogue silencieux avec ce relief austère, puisant dans les traditions inuites une force nécessaire pour habiter ces étendues dénudées. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde longuement, étirant des ombres mauves sur le sol rocailleux et révélant la rugosité magnifique de la toundra. L’économie locale, liée intimement aux cycles de la faune marine et terrestre, impose un rythme rigoureux qui dicte les gestes quotidiens des familles. Dans cette immensité, la vie humaine se déploie sans artifice, portée par une résilience qui transforme chaque journée en une lente conquête sur le froid, faisant d'Aupaluk un point de lumière fragile mais indomptable sur la côte nordique.

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.
