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 Kaawaasaachuuun.
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.

Kaawaasaachuuun is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kaawaasaachuuun is located at 57.0696°N, 69.2073°W.
Kaawaasaachuuun rests within the vast, austere expanse of the Rivière-Koksoak, where the land holds its breath under a wide and watchful sky. It lies 125.0 km south-south-west of Kuujjuaq, QC (from Kuujjuaq, QC: bearing 203°T), and is situated 4.7 km south-south-east of Kamitusanikanuch. The terrain surrounding Kaawaasaachuuun is defined by the stark presence of the Colline Mausunan, which rises from the earth like a dormant giant guarding the horizon. Nearby, the waters of Lac Wolfram mirror the shifting light of the high latitudes, casting a silver clarity over the surrounding rock and lichen. Further out, the Rivière Andréas carves its path through the rugged terrain, its movement a constant, low murmur against the silence of the tundra. During the brief, intense summer, the air feels thin and sharp, carrying the scent of damp stone and ancient growth, while the long shadows of dusk stretch across the ground, turning the landscape into a study of deep blues and charcoal grays. The character of Kaawaasaachuuun is shaped by the resilience required to inhabit such a remote and demanding environment. Life here is guided by the seasonal cycles that dictate the movement of the land and the endurance of those who travel across it. Traditions are held close, rooted in an intimate knowledge of the ridges and the shifting ice, ensuring that the history of the region is carried forward through observation and practice rather than written record. In this quiet corner of the north, the economy remains tied to the cycles of the earth and the careful stewardship of the resources found in the vicinity of the Colline Mausunan. Even as the modern world intrudes, Kaawaasaachuuun maintains a stillness that feels as old as the hills themselves, a singular point of human presence in a vast, untamed geography.
Kaawaasaachuuun se déploie sur un plateau austère où la lumière du crépuscule étire les ombres avec une lenteur minérale, révélant la dureté et la grâce de cette terre nordique. À proximité immédiate, le Lac Wolfram retient les reflets changeants du ciel, offrant une surface immobile qui semble absorber le silence infini de la toundra. Au loin, la silhouette de la Colline Mausunan s’impose contre l’horizon, veillant sur les étendues sauvages que traverse la Rivière Andréas dans un murmure discret, serpentant à travers la roche et le lichen. La vie à Kaawaasaachuuun suit le rythme des vents qui balayent ces espaces, exigeant une patience que seuls les habitués du Nord possèdent, façonnant une existence où chaque geste s’ajuste à la rigueur climatique. Les traditions autochtones imprègnent ce territoire d'une profondeur ancienne, rappelant que chaque déplacement sur ces sols exige une connaissance intime des passages et des ressources offertes par le milieu. Ici, l’air possède une pureté tranchante qui éveille les sens, tandis que la terre, marquée par des siècles de cycles naturels, impose une humilité nécessaire face à l’immensité du paysage. La présence de Kaawaasaachuuun demeure un rappel de la persévérance humaine dans un environnement qui ne concède rien, mais qui offre, à qui sait observer, une beauté dépouillée et authentique.
