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 Kahipitaukaw.
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.

Kahipitaukaw is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kahipitaukaw is located at 55.2056°N, 75.0408°W.
Kahipitaukaw rests amidst the austere and expansive terrain of Nord-du-Québec, where the land yields to the persistent, biting breath of the north. It lies 171.9 km east of Kuujjuarapik, QC (from Kuujjuarapik, QC: bearing 92°T), and is situated 4.8 km west of Achakakunikach. Beyond the immediate reach of the Colline Apistiskutawasitanuch, the horizon stretches in muted tones of lichen-grey and stone, broken only by the low, resilient brush that clings to the thin soil. Seven kilometers away, the stillness of Lac Anatwayach mirrors a sky that often seems to hold the light long after the sun has dipped below the jagged rim of the earth. Thirteen kilometers to the west, the Grande rivière de la Baleine carves its path through the tundra, a cold, dark artery that pulses with the seasonal movement of water and ice. The legacy of Kahipitaukaw remains rooted in the deep knowledge of the land practiced by generations who moved with the cycles of the seasons. Life here operates in accordance with the demands of an unforgiving climate, requiring a patient endurance that defines the character of those who spend their days beneath this immense, unshielded vault of sky. While the modern world touches the edges of this wilderness, the daily existence in Kahipitaukaw continues to prioritize the traditional harvest and the maintenance of ancestral paths. In the quiet hours of the evening, when the wind settles against the slopes of the Colline Apistiskutawasitanuch, the air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that reminds all who dwell here of the ancient, enduring presence of the north.
Kahipitaukaw s’éveille sous une lumière boréale dont la clarté austère semble suspendre le souffle des mousses et des lichens sur un sol de roche ancienne. À proximité, la silhouette imposante de la Colline Apistiskutawasitanuch dessine une frontière immobile contre les nuages bas qui dérivent vers l’immensité de la toundra. La Grande rivière de la Baleine trace son sillon à treize kilomètres de là, emportant dans son cours rapide les échos d’un territoire où la vie suit les lois silencieuses du froid et du vent. Non loin, les eaux calmes du Lac Anatwayach captent les reflets changeants du ciel, offrant une halte paisible dans ce dénuement minéral. Le quotidien à Kahipitaukaw exige une patience souveraine, façonnée par les cycles immuables de la terre et la connaissance intime des passages tracés par les générations autochtones. Ici, chaque geste porte la gravité d’un héritage qui se transmet sans bruit, tandis que l’air vif, chargé d’une odeur de pierre humide et d’espace infini, rappelle la rigueur nécessaire à la survie dans cet environnement dépouillé. Les résidents observent le crépuscule glisser sur le relief, trouvant dans la solitude de ces étendues une rigueur qui forge le caractère et la résilience propre à ce secteur du Nord-du-Québec.
