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 Kaaviup Kangia.
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.

Kaaviup Kangia is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Kaaviup Kangia is located at 59.7686°N, 69.5592°W.
Kaaviup Kangia emerges from the stark, windswept expanse of the Colline Nannuit as a solitary presence defined by the cold clarity of the north. It lies 38.1 km south-east of Kangirsuk, QC (from Kangirsuk, QC: bearing 137°T), and is situated 6.5 km north-north-east of Nannuit. The landscape here is carved by the movement of the Rivière Utarqiuviup, which cuts through the rugged terrain toward the St. Lawrence with a persistent, icy momentum. During the long hours of dusk, the light catches the stone in shades of bruised violet and slate, turning the horizon into a sharp line against the darkening sky. Just seven kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Aujuittuup offers a quiet counterpoint to the restless flow of the nearby water, grounding the region in a profound, ancient silence. Life in Kaaviup Kangia follows the seasonal shifts of a land that demands resilience and a deep understanding of its harsh, elemental character. The local economy and daily survival remain tied to the traditional harvesting of the land, reflecting a heritage that has long adapted to the unforgiving temperament of the northern climate. Visitors and residents alike find that the air carries an uncommon crispness, sharp enough to wake the lungs and clear the mind of trivial concerns. In this remote reach of the Rivière-Koksoak, the continuity of Indigenous ways of life persists alongside the quiet, enduring rhythm of a world that values patience above all else.
Kaaviup Kangia se déploie avec une sobriété minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le vent sculpte le relief de la Colline Nannuit dans une patience infinie. La lumière du soir y possède une clarté fragile, presque translucide, qui semble suspendre le temps au-dessus des eaux sombres de la Rivière Utarqiuviup. À sept kilomètres de là, le Lac Aujuittuup dort dans le silence des terres hautes, observant le passage des heures sous un ciel qui ne finit jamais tout à fait de blanchir. Les habitants de Kaaviup Kangia vivent en accord avec ce dépouillement, leurs gestes quotidiens épousant le rythme des marées et la rudesse familière de ce sol rocailleux. Rien ne vient troubler la solitude de ces espaces, si ce n’est le murmure des courants qui dévalent le versant de la colline pour rejoindre le grand fleuve. La terre garde le souvenir des passages anciens, une mémoire silencieuse qui infuse chaque pierre et chaque baie, offrant à ceux qui y demeurent une existence dépouillée de tout artifice. Ici, le paysage ne se donne pas facilement, il exige une attention constante, une présence entière qui se confond avec la respiration lente de la toundra et l’immensité froide qui borde le rivage.
