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 Kamusikupaw.
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.

Kamusikupaw is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kamusikupaw is located at 54.8903°N, 76.6439°W.
Kamusikupaw rests within a rugged expanse of the northern landscape, where the earth holds the chill of the subarctic in its dark, moss-covered hollows. It lies 82.9 km east-south-east of Kuujjuarapik, QC (from Kuujjuarapik, QC: bearing 121°T), and is situated 28.1 km south-south-east of Aasiwaskwasich. The Rivière Denys cuts a persistent path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the pale, thin light that lingers briefly over the land before the long shadows of the Colline Apikupiysich take hold. At dusk, the horizon turns a bruised, metallic violet, casting a stillness over the scrub and stone that makes the movement of the wind seem like a deliberate, heavy breath. Lac Miy sits three kilometers away, a quiet mirror tucked into the hollows of the rock, holding the silence of the surrounding wilderness as if waiting for the first frost to seal its surface. The history of Kamusikupaw is rooted in the long-standing traditions of the Eeyou people, whose ancestors traversed these waterways to follow the seasonal shifts of the land. Life here moves in accordance with the demands of the North, where the economy remains tied to the cycles of the environment and the careful stewardship of the resources provided by the Rivière Denys. Elders recount the old ways of navigating the brush near the Colline Apikupiysich, ensuring that the knowledge of the trails remains present among the younger generations. The air in Kamusikupaw carries a sharp, clean clarity that intensifies the scent of spruce and damp earth, grounding the daily routines of the inhabitants in the raw, unadorned reality of the Canadian shield.
Kamusikupaw s'étend sur une terre de rocs et de lichen, là où le souffle du Nord modèle chaque relief avec une patience minérale. La Colline Apikupiysich domine les environs, offrant une vigie naturelle sur les étendues sauvages de la Rivière Denys qui serpente avec une lenteur majestueuse à travers le territoire. À trois kilomètres de là, les eaux calmes du Lac Miy captent les premières lueurs du crépuscule, transformant la surface en un miroir d'argent sombre où se reflètent les nuages bas et le silence infini de l'Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. L'air, d'une pureté tranchante, porte en lui le souvenir des traditions cries qui habitent ces terres depuis des générations, liant les hommes au rythme immuable des cycles naturels. Dans la vie quotidienne à Kamusikupaw, chaque geste semble dicté par la rigueur du climat, imposant une sobriété humble face à l'immensité du paysage. Les résidents y cultivent un rapport direct avec les ressources offertes par le terrain, cherchant dans cette solitude glacée une forme de sérénité brute. La lumière déclinante finit par embraser les crêtes, révélant la texture rugueuse du sol qui, malgré son austérité apparente, demeure le foyer d'une identité résiliente, tournée vers la préservation de son héritage ancestral.
