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 Ka Kickaiwak.
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.

Ka Kickaiwak is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Ka Kickaiwak is located at 49.5511°N, 78.4739°W.
Ka Kickaiwak rests within the vast, quiet expanse of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where the land holds its breath under the weight of an immense northern sky. It lies 15.6 km north-west of Joutel, QC (from Joutel, QC: bearing 310°T), and is situated 36.7 km north-west of Mackode Nigapi. The terrain is defined by the steady, dark pulse of the Harricanaw River, which draws a cold, silver line through the dense boreal growth that climbs toward the rugged rise of the Collines Valrennes. Within this northern silence, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that makes the distant, brooding silhouette of the hills seem both unreachable and strangely intimate. Just six kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Kapineomodawag offers a mirror to the clouds, its surface undisturbed by the frantic pace of the wider world. Life in Ka Kickaiwak persists with a deliberate, quiet focus, shaped by the cycles of a landscape that demands respect for its long, biting winters and brief, vibrant summers. The heritage of the Cree people remains foundational here, grounding the daily activities of those who navigate the waterways and forests as their ancestors did for generations. While industry and modern life have touched the fringes of the region, the local economy continues to lean into the rhythms of the bush and the currents of the Harricanaw River. The character of Ka Kickaiwak is found in these persistent, small motions—a boat pushed off from a muddy bank or the smoke rising from a wood stove—as the horizon shifts through the deep, bruised purples of a long-fading dusk.
Ka Kickaiwak se déploie dans une solitude minérale, là où les terres basses du Nord-du-Québec s'étirent avec une lenteur majestueuse sous un ciel immense. Les eaux sombres de la rivière Harricanaw serpentent à travers le territoire, charriant dans leur courant les reflets cuivrés des crépuscules boréaux tandis que les Collines Valrennes dessinent, à l'horizon, une silhouette protectrice et immuable. À six kilomètres de là, le lac Kapineomodawag demeure une étendue immobile, miroir silencieux des pins qui bordent ses rives. L'air, chargé de l'humidité froide des tourbières et du parfum résineux des forêts d'épinettes, semble suspendre le mouvement des heures. Ka Kickaiwak vit dans le murmure constant de cette nature indomptée, portée par une identité qui puise sa force dans la rigueur du climat et le rythme des eaux environnantes. Ici, les activités humaines s'ajustent à la rudesse du terrain, respectant les cycles anciens qui régissent la présence des peuples sur ces terres vastes. La lumière, d'une clarté presque tranchante en fin de journée, révèle les textures brutes du sol, offrant à chaque regard la sensation d'une terre dont la beauté réside dans sa permanence farouche, loin des agitations du monde moderne.

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.
