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 Iqiattavik.
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.

Iqiattavik is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Iqiattavik is located at 61.7528°N, 76.3822°W.
Iqiattavik rests within the stark, expansive embrace of the North, where the land meets the horizon in a cold, lucid clarity. It lies 62.7 km south-west of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 218°T), and is situated 31.3 km north of Illuviniit. The terrain surrounding Iqiattavik is defined by the rugged presence of Colline Talluq, a rise that breaks the monotony of the tundra and catches the low, pale light of the Arctic sun. Nearby, the water of Lac Talluup sits still and glass-like, reflecting a sky that shifts from bruised violet to a piercing, translucent blue as the day recedes. The Rivière Umiruup winds its way across this terrain, carving a path through the frozen earth and providing a quiet, constant motion that defines the stillness of the landscape. Life in Iqiattavik moves with a deep awareness of the seasons, honoring a heritage that has long adapted to the demands of a subarctic climate. The local economy and daily patterns reflect a persistent engagement with the land, where the knowledge of the terrain is passed down through generations of those who have made this region their home. Residents of Iqiattavik maintain traditions that honor the necessity of resilience, finding beauty in the harsh, sharp edges of the winter wind and the brief, brilliant bloom of the short summer. The character of the people is as resilient as the stone of Colline Talluq, grounded in a history that values the endurance of the individual against the vast, quiet intensity of the North.
Iqiattavik s'éveille sous une clarté boréale qui semble polir chaque arête du terrain, révélant la rudesse minérale de ce sol arctique où le vent sculpte le givre avec une précision d'orfèvre. À proximité, la silhouette imposante de la Colline Talluq domine l'horizon, imposant sa présence immuable sur ces terres où la vie s'ajuste aux caprices de la toundra. À quatre kilomètres de là, les eaux glacées du Lac Talluup conservent un silence minéral, tandis que la Rivière Umiruup serpente à six kilomètres dans une course lente vers les terres basses, marquant le paysage d'une cicatrice liquide aux reflets d'acier. Les habitants de Iqiattavik perpétuent des savoirs ancestraux, lisant dans les nuances du ciel et la texture des neiges une connaissance intime qui échappe aux regards distraits. Ici, la lumière du crépuscule ne décline jamais vraiment, elle s'étire en des teintes d'ambre et de mauve, enveloppant le quotidien d'une solennité presque sacrée. Le mode de vie demeure indissociable de cet environnement austère, exigeant une patience que seule la rigueur du Nord peut enseigner, transformant chaque geste de subsistance en une forme de respect envers une nature dont la beauté, bien que sauvage, demeure d'une pureté absolue.
