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 Ikualavik.
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.

Ikualavik is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Ikualavik is located at 58.0194°N, 68.6483°W.
Ikualavik rests upon the rugged margins of the Rivière Koksoak, where the land holds the quiet gravity of the north. It lies 17.6 km west-south-west of Kuujjuaq, QC (from Kuujjuaq, QC: bearing 236°T), and is situated 34.2 km west-south-west of Saugattalik. The terrain surrounding Ikualavik is defined by the proximity of the Colline Kupatalik, a rise that breaks the horizon and directs the flow of the Rivière Kupatalik toward the larger water. During the long hours of dusk, the light here thins into a pale, bruised violet, catching the silt of the riverbanks and turning the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. The air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that clarifies the distance between the hills and the water, demanding a certain patience from those who move across the tundra. Life in Ikualavik follows the seasonal pulse of the Rivière Koksoak, which has served as a vital artery for transit and harvest for generations. The economy remains anchored in the traditional knowledge of the land, with the currents of the Rivière Kupatalik providing a constant, low-frequency hum beneath the daily activities of the residents. There is a profound stillness in the way the local people navigate the slopes of the Colline Kupatalik, a movement born of long familiarity with the terrain. Even as the modern world intrudes, the character of Ikualavik stays defined by the cold, clear water and the enduring, exposed stone of the landscape.
Ikualavik déploie ses étendues sauvages sur les rives de la Rivière Koksoak, là où le vent du Nord sculpte la terre avec une rigueur ancienne. Le regard se porte naturellement vers la Colline Kupatalik, sentinelle immobile qui domine les eaux sombres et puissantes, tandis que la Rivière Kupatalik serpente à travers le relief pour rejoindre le courant principal. Dans la lumière basse du crépuscule, le paysage se dépouille de ses artifices pour révéler une minéralité brute, un silence immense qui accompagne le quotidien des habitants habitués à la rudesse du climat. Ikualavik puise sa force dans cette proximité immédiate avec les eaux vives et la roche, maintenant une relation étroite avec les traditions de passage et de subsistance héritées des aînés. Les mouvements de l'eau, tantôt calmes, tantôt impétueux, dictent le rythme de vie des familles qui observent les reflets changeants sur la surface des rivières. Ici, le ciel occupe une place prépondérante, élargissant l'horizon bien au-delà de la Colline Kupatalik, offrant un espace où la mémoire collective se confond avec les éléments naturels. La présence de la Rivière Koksoak demeure l'axe central, une artère vivante qui lie chaque geste quotidien à la terre immense du Nord-du-Québec.
