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 Awikwataukach.
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.

Awikwataukach is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Awikwataukach is located at 55.0986°N, 76.8464°W.
Awikwataukach sits amidst the stark, expansive silence of the north, anchored by the rugged presence of the Colline Aminapiskasich. It lies 60.9 km east-south-east of Kuujjuarapik, QC (from Kuujjuarapik, QC: bearing 109°T), and is situated 2.2 km east-south-east of Aasiwaskwasich. The terrain holds a particular clarity, where the light at dusk stretches thin and sharp across the lichen-covered rock, turning the horizon into a bruised purple line. Close by, the stillness of Lac Atikamakw Autamapakaut mirrors the vast, pale sky, while the Rivière Kaschikwaunatikw winds its way through the landscape about 12 km away, carving a cold, persistent path through the tundra. The air here carries a crystalline bite, suggesting the weight of deep winters that define the character of the land and those who move across it. The history of Awikwataukach reflects a long, enduring relationship with the land, rooted in the seasonal movements and traditional knowledge of the region. Life in Awikwataukach moves with the cycles of the climate, where the economy remains tied to the harvesting of resources and the practical necessities of surviving in such a remote reach of the north. Elders carry stories of the waterways and the shifting ice, maintaining customs that prioritize a careful observation of the seasons. Despite the isolation, the quiet persistence of the inhabitants ensures that the heritage of the north remains a living force, felt in the smoke rising from hearths and the deliberate, steady pace of work that keeps the settlement viable against the backdrop of an indifferent, beautiful expanse.
Awikwataukach s’étend avec une patience minérale sur les terres vastes et dépouillées du Nord, là où le ciel bas semble vouloir toucher la terre. À proximité, le Lac Atikamakw Autamapakaut étire ses eaux sombres dans une tranquillité quasi immobile, tandis que les reliefs de la Colline Aminapiskasich dominent l’horizon avec une noblesse austère. Le vent, qui ne rencontre aucun obstacle, sculpte le paysage de Awikwataukach avec une précision glaciale, révélant la texture rugueuse des lichens et la résilience d’une végétation qui refuse de plier. À une douzaine de kilomètres, la Rivière Kaschikwaunatikw poursuit son cheminement imperturbable, ses eaux sombres murmurant des récits anciens aux rochers qui jalonnent son cours. Dans ce cadre dépouillé, la lumière du crépuscule s’attarde longuement, teintant les étendues de nuances cuivrées qui soulignent la rudesse magnifique de la toundra. Les gestes des habitants suivent le rythme lent imposé par la rigueur du climat, privilégiant la connaissance intime des passages et la sagesse héritée des ancêtres qui ont arpenté ces espaces depuis des temps immémoriaux. Chaque passage vers le Lac Atikamakw Autamapakaut devient une célébration silencieuse, une manière de reconnaître le souffle de vie qui persiste, obstiné, dans ce désert de pierre et de givre.
