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 Kaminikatau.
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.

Kaminikatau is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kaminikatau is located at 57.3339°N, 67.3417°W.
Kaminikatau sits as a solitary point of persistence amidst the vast, subarctic reach of the Rivière-Koksoak region. It lies 106.5 km south-east of Kuujjuaq, QC (from Kuujjuaq, QC: bearing 143°T), and is situated 20.9 km north-north-west of Illualuttalik. The land here is defined by the unrelenting presence of the Rivière à la Baleine, which carves a path through the ancient, resistant stone of the northern landscape. Only four kilometers away, the quiet basin of Lac Uwt Kaamiihkuutikaach mirrors the vast, pale sky, reflecting a stillness that seems to suspend the very air in a crystalline clarity. During the long hours of dusk, the light stretches thin and amber across the lichen-covered rock, turning the rugged terrain into a study of shadow and deepening cold. Kaminikatau exists in a state of quiet endurance, where the wind carries the scent of damp moss and the low, persistent vibration of the river current. The history of this site is marked by the deep, ancestral presence of the Indigenous peoples who have long traversed the Rivière à la Baleine, following the seasonal patterns of the land with an intimate knowledge of its demands. Life in Kaminikatau is dictated by the seasons, revolving around the traditional practices that continue to define the local character and the resilience of those who dwell in such a remote expanse. While the economy remains modest, relying on the natural resources provided by the surrounding wilderness, there is a distinct, understated pride in the self-reliance required to persist here. The days pass with a deliberate consistency, shaped by the weight of the climate and the necessity of preparing for the shift of the seasons, as the land demands a careful, attentive grace from all who inhabit it.
Kaminikatau s'étire avec une sobriété minérale le long des rives de la Rivière à la Baleine, là où le vent du Nord sculpte sans relâche la toundra subarctique. Sous la clarté oblique du crépuscule, les étendues rocheuses se teintent d'un cuivre sombre, révélant la rudesse d'un terrain façonné par le gel et le passage séculaire des glaces. À seulement quatre kilomètres de distance, le Lac Uwt Kaamiihkuutikaach miroite dans un silence absolu, ses eaux froides absorbant les derniers éclats d'un ciel immense qui semble peser sur toute la région de la Rivière-Koksoak. La vie à Kaminikatau suit le rythme lent des cycles naturels, portée par une mémoire autochtone qui imprègne chaque pierre et chaque courbe de la berge. Ici, l'air pur et vif saisit les poumons, rappelant aux rares voyageurs que la terre impose ses propres exigences. Les gestes quotidiens des habitants se fondent dans cette immensité silencieuse, loin de l'agitation des mondes urbanisés, préservant une authenticité rare dans ce nord sauvage. Le paysage, dépouillé de tout artifice, offre une beauté austère qui impose le respect, laissant Kaminikatau dans une solitude majestueuse, vigilante face aux rigueurs de la Rivière à la Baleine qui continue de couler vers son destin lointain.
