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 Chiputachikwan.
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.

Chiputachikwan is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Chiputachikwan is located at 57.9506°N, 67.7308°W.
Chiputachikwan rests in the vast, quiet reach of the north, anchored by the cold, persistent currents of the Rivière à la Baleine. It lies 43.1 km east-south-east of Kuujjuaq, QC (from Kuujjuaq, QC: bearing 114°T), and is situated 29.7 km south-east of Saugattalik. The landscape defines itself through the austere presence of the Coteau Siturqaaluk, which rises against the horizon like a weathered sentinel watching over the St. Lawrence. Here, the light at dusk possesses a singular, bruised clarity, turning the mossy expanse into a collection of deep ochres and greys that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has retreated. Six kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Sipatakan mirrors the low-hanging clouds, offering a brief, glassy interruption to the rugged terrain that otherwise dominates this northern expanse. The character of Chiputachikwan is shaped by the necessity of adaptation, where the movement of the seasons dictates the pace of existence. Generations have moved along the Rivière à la Baleine, their lives tracking the migratory patterns and the subtle shifts in the river ice that signal the turning of the year. There is a profound stillness in the air, a weight that settles upon the land and demands a respectful, measured attention to the elements. Daily life persists in the shadow of the Coteau Siturqaaluk, grounded in a heritage that prioritizes the endurance of the spirit against the immense, indifferent scale of the surrounding wilderness.
Chiputachikwan se déploie dans une rigueur minérale, là où les terres nordiques rencontrent les eaux froides de la Rivière à la Baleine. Sous un ciel qui semble s'étendre indéfiniment, la lumière du crépuscule glisse sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, révélant la texture brute d'un sol façonné par les vents dominants. À quelques encablures, le Lac Sipatakan dort dans une immobilité glacée, agissant comme un miroir sombre pour les nuages qui défilent au-dessus de Coteau Siturqaaluk. La présence de Chiputachikwan s'affirme par ce silence singulier, propre aux espaces où la vie humaine s'ajuste patiemment aux exigences du climat. Ici, le quotidien se mesure aux rythmes lents du courant et à la persistance des traditions qui lient les habitants à ce territoire sauvage. Les façades des habitations, tournées vers l'horizon, portent les marques d'une lutte constante contre le gel, tandis que la Rivière à la Baleine charrie les souvenirs d'un passé nomade et les espoirs d'une terre encore indomptée. Chaque souffle d'air chargé d'iode rappelle l'isolement de ce lieu, offrant aux rares visiteurs une perspective dépouillée, presque austère, où la nature impose sa loi sans jamais faiblir devant le pas de l'homme.

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.
