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 Igissivik.
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.

Igissivik is a locality in Quaqtaq; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Igissivik is located at 61.0522°N, 69.6250°W.
Igissivik occupies a stark, commanding position along the St. Lawrence, where the land rises sharply into the rugged heights of the Escarpement Eyrie. It lies 2.1 km north-north-west of Quaqtaq, QC (from Quaqtaq, QC: bearing 348°T), and is situated 4.6 km south-west of Cape Hopes Advance. The Rivière Kangirsualuup carves a path through this resilient terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, crystalline light that persists long into the northern evening. Just a kilometer distant, the quiet surface of Lac Sirmisarniavik holds the stillness of the tundra, anchoring a landscape where the air possesses a sharp, clean clarity that clarifies the mind. Here, the earth is defined by stone and the persistent influence of the tides, creating a horizon that demands attention through its sheer, unadorned presence. The enduring character of Igissivik reflects the deep-rooted Inuit heritage that informs the daily movements of those who call this coast home. Life in Igissivik follows the seasonal shifts of the environment, with the local economy rooted in traditional harvesting practices that sustain both the larder and the spirit. The silence of the surrounding expanse is occasionally punctuated by the hum of activity, yet the collective focus remains on maintaining a balance with the unpredictable, beautiful demands of the north. Traditions are carried forward through the quiet transmission of knowledge, ensuring that the legacy of the people remains as steady as the cold, deep currents flowing past the shore.
Igissivik se déploie avec une austérité souveraine sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, où la lumière déclinante du Nord transforme l'horizon en une étendue de cuivre et d'étain. Protégé par la masse imposante de l'Escarpement Eyrie, ce lieu observe le mouvement perpétuel des marées qui viennent lécher les roches sombres, tandis que les eaux de la Rivière Kangirsualuup apportent une fraîcheur minérale jusqu'aux habitations. À seulement un kilomètre de là, le Lac Sirmisarniavik dort sous un ciel immense, miroir immobile reflétant la rigueur d'un climat qui exige une patience sans faille de la part de ses habitants. La vie à Igissivik se règle sur le souffle du vent et le rythme des glaces, perpétuant une sagesse inuit qui privilégie l'observation fine des changements terrestres. Ici, chaque geste quotidien possède la précision d'un rite, qu'il s'agisse de préparer le départ pour la chasse ou de scruter les ondulations du terrain accidenté pour y lire les signes de la nature. Le silence qui s'installe à la tombée du soir n'est pas une absence, mais une présence dense, soulignant la force brute de cette terre où le minéral rencontre l'eau dans une harmonie sauvage, offrant à Igissivik une existence singulière, indomptable et profondément tournée vers l'immensité du Grand Nord.

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.
