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 Kahihikuahtet.
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.

Kahihikuahtet is a locality in Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan; Minganie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kahihikuahtet is located at 50.4725°N, 63.9522°W.
Kahihikuahtet occupies a rugged expanse of the Minganie region, where the land rises in quiet tension against the northern sky near the Colline Uanahkuan. It lies 35.7 km north-west of Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC (from Havre-Saint-Pierre, QC: bearing 315°T), and is situated 5.5 km north-east of Kakuian Ekutnt. The terrain around Kahihikuahtet is defined by its austere geology, where the light at dusk catches the sharp edges of rock, turning the grey stone into a pale, glowing embers. Water shapes the periphery of this domain, as the Rivière Manitou flows with a cold, steady persistence about 7 km away, and the stillness of Lac Kaiatuakamat rests only 3 km distant. Further afield, the presence of Chutes Kakahtshekaut, situated 16 km away, introduces a distant, rhythmic hum to the wilderness, a sound that persists beneath the wind. The air here holds a crisp, bracing quality, carrying the scent of lichen and damp earth that marks the transition between the dense boreal cover and the exposed, ancient bedrock. The character of Kahihikuahtet reflects the resilience required to inhabit such a stoic landscape, where the history of the region is held in the memories of those who have long traversed the interior. Life in Kahihikuahtet follows the seasonal shifts of the Minganie, with the local economy rooted in the traditional use of the land and the harvesting of resources that have sustained inhabitants for generations. Days here are marked by the practical demands of the climate, yet there is a profound beauty in the way the morning frost clings to the low-lying shrubs, turning the brush into a field of fragile, white glass. Traditions persist in the quiet gathering of families and the passing down of knowledge concerning the movement of the waters and the changing temperament of the woods, ensuring that the identity of the people remains inseparable from the reach of the Colline Uanahkuan.
Kahihikuahtet se déploie sous une lumière boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde, là où les terres de la Minganie rencontrent l’immensité minérale de la côte. À proximité, la silhouette de la Colline Uanahkuan domine un horizon que scandent les eaux vives de la Rivière Manitou, laquelle trace son chemin silencieux à sept kilomètres de distance. Le Lac Kaiatuakamat, étendu à trois kilomètres à peine, offre un miroir immobile au ciel changeant, tandis que le fracas lointain des Chutes Kakahtshekaut, situées à seize kilomètres, ponctue le silence forestier d’une basse continue. Kahihikuahtet porte en lui la mémoire des sentiers nomades et l’âpreté des hivers qui façonnent la roche autant que les esprits. Les habitants observent le passage des heures dans cette solitude habitée, où chaque pierre et chaque courbe du terrain rappellent une présence ancienne, indissociable de la rigueur du climat. L’air y est d’une pureté tranchante, chargée des effluves de la terre humide et du sel marin qui remonte de Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan. Ici, le quotidien s’ordonne selon les rythmes lents de la nature, une existence dépouillée de tout artifice où le regard, porté vers la Colline Uanahkuan, saisit la permanence d’un paysage qui refuse de se laisser dompter par les hommes.
