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 Epemistikwepichinanuch.
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.

Epemistikwepichinanuch sits quietly within the vast, resilient expanse of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where the land holds its breath under the weight of an immense northern sky. It lies 55.2 km north-east of Waskaganish, QC (from Waskaganish, QC: bearing 49°T), and is situated 31.5 km north of Nutimesanu. Near the rising slopes of the Colline Echimuhwetinach, the terrain settles into a rugged stillness, marked by the persistent flow of the Rivière Jolicoeur as it carves a path through the dense, dark-needled boreal growth. During the long hours of the subarctic dusk, the light here turns a bruised, translucent violet, catching the edges of the water and illuminating the stark, lichen-covered stones that gather in the shadows of the hills. The air carries a sharp, clean clarity that seems to sharpen the senses, making the presence of the earth feel immediate and ancient. The history of Epemistikwepichinanuch is held in the memories of those who have long moved across this territory, maintaining a deep connection to the rhythms of the Rivière Jolicoeur and the seasonal shifts of the forest. Local life moves with a steady, deliberate purpose, centered on the traditional knowledge of the land and the quiet expertise required to navigate the nearby waterways and the slopes of the Colline Echimuhwetinach. While the modern economy of Nord-du-Québec often looks toward the extraction of resources, the cultural character of the region remains rooted in the enduring practices of the Eeyou, where the hunt and the harvest dictate the changing tasks of the year. There is a profound honesty in the way the local people engage with their surroundings, finding stability in a landscape that demands respect and offers, in return, a solitude that is rare and complete.
Epemistikwepichinanuch se déploie sous un ciel vaste, là où la lumière décline avec une lenteur solennelle sur les étendues sauvages de Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. La Colline Echimuhwetinach domine l’horizon, veillant en silence sur les terres basses tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Jolicoeur serpentent avec une persistance minérale à travers le relief tourmenté. Le vent qui balaie ces espaces chargés d’histoire porte en lui le murmure des traditions ancestrales, une respiration constante qui façonne le quotidien des habitants habitués à la rudesse du climat septentrional. Ici, la terre se livre sans artifice, révélant des textures de roches anciennes et une végétation résiliente qui s’adapte à la rigueur des cycles boréaux. Les gestes des hommes se mesurent à la profondeur des paysages, chaque action quotidienne s’inscrivant dans le respect d’un territoire où la nature conserve ses droits premiers. À Epemistikwepichinanuch, le silence ne pèse jamais, il accompagne la marche de ceux qui connaissent le langage des terres et des courants. Entre le sommet de la Colline Echimuhwetinach et le cours sinueux de la Rivière Jolicoeur, une identité forte se maintient, préservant la mémoire des anciens dans la clarté crépusculaire qui enveloppe ces contrées isolées du Nord-du-Québec.
