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 Itigaittuit.
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.

Itigaittuit is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Itigaittuit is located at 61.7583°N, 75.9092°W.
Itigaittuit rests as a stark, singular presence amidst the expansive, windswept terrain of Nord-du-Québec. It lies 50.9 km south-south-west of Salluit, QC (from Salluit, QC: bearing 196°T), and is situated 28.1 km north-north-east of Illuvinirtalik. The land here is defined by the proximity of the Coteau Pulatiqqaq, where the horizon holds a weight of ancient, exposed stone that catches the low, bruised light of the Arctic sun. Nearby, Lac Nuqivvialuk sits in a hollow of the tundra, its surface often holding the stillness of a mirror that reflects the shifting northern clouds, while the Rivière Kovik courses through the landscape about 11 km away, carving a path through the frozen earth. The air possesses a crystalline sharpness, carrying the scent of lichen and cold water, and the wind here possesses a voice that strips away the unnecessary, leaving behind only the essential clarity of the north. Itigaittuit carries the quiet endurance of those who have long navigated the seasonal cycles of Baie-d'Hudson, where the lives of the people reflect a deep, ancestral familiarity with the land. The economy in Itigaittuit relies on the traditional harvesting of the region, where the knowledge of the ice and the migrations of the land remain vital to the daily survival of the inhabitants. Life in Itigaittuit moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, marked by the preparation of gear and the shared work of maintaining a home in a climate that demands constant respect. In the long, dim hours of the evening, the warmth of the hearths offers a necessary contrast to the vast, unyielding cold that settles over the tundra, grounding the people in a history that stretches back through generations of survival.
Itigaittuit s’éveille sous une clarté boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde, là où le sol dénudé se déploie dans une nudité minérale austère et grandiose. À trois kilomètres de là, le Lac Nuqivvialuk offre une surface immobile, miroir sombre dont la profondeur semble absorber le silence infini des terres nordiques. Non loin, la Rivière Kovik serpente avec une lenteur majestueuse, dessinant des méandres dans la toundra avant de poursuivre son cours vers les horizons glacés de la baie. Le relief s’incline doucement vers le Coteau Pulatiqqaq, dont les pentes arides retiennent les dernières lueurs d’un crépuscule éternellement hésitant. Dans cet espace dépouillé, Itigaittuit maintient une présence tenace, une existence façonnée par les vents salins et la rigueur d’un climat qui exige de chaque geste une noblesse particulière. Les traditions inuites y dictent un rythme ancien, une harmonie patiente avec le givre et la pierre. Ici, l’air possède une pureté tranchante qui éveille les sens, rappelant que chaque roche et chaque souffle de brise appartiennent à une lignée ancestrale. Itigaittuit demeure ainsi, isolée dans sa splendeur brute, veillée par les eaux calmes du Lac Nuqivvialuk et la présence tutélaire du Coteau Pulatiqqaq, dans une solitude qui n’est jamais tout à fait une absence.
