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 Kangiriaq.
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.

Kangiriaq is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Kangiriaq is located at 58.2608°N, 77.6486°W.
Kangiriaq rests as a stark, singular presence along the vast expanse of the St. Lawrence coastline. It lies 34.2 km south-east of Inukjuak, QC (from Inukjuak, QC: bearing 128°T), and is situated 0.1 km south of Aniutarvik. The landscape surrounding Kangiriaq is defined by the rugged rise of the Colline Qaqqaalukallak, where the horizon holds a stillness that seems to press against the skin. Just two kilometers away, the surface of Lac Tasiqajuirutik catches the low, pale light of the north, reflecting a sky that shifts from bruised violet to a sharp, crystalline blue. Further inland, the Rivière Gladel carves its path through the terrain, its presence marked by the low, insistent hum of water moving over ancient stone. In this northern climate, the air carries a biting clarity, and the ground beneath Kangiriaq feels firm and expectant, waiting for the long, luminous hours of the solstice. Life in Kangiriaq moves with the gravity of the seasons, shaped by the traditions and enduring resilience of the people who have long called this coastline home. The local economy remains closely aligned with the land and the rhythms of the water, favoring activities that respect the quietude of the surrounding wilderness. While the modern world touches Kangiriaq through the necessity of supply and connection, the daily experience is dominated by the vast, open silence that settles over the Colline Qaqqaalukallak when the wind dies down. People here share a deep, quiet knowledge of the terrain, moving through the days with a pragmatic grace that honors the heritage of those who navigated these shores generations ago.
Kangiriaq se dresse avec une austérité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, dominée par la silhouette imposante de la Colline Qaqqaalukallak qui semble capter les dernières lueurs d'un jour interminable. L’air y possède cette pureté tranchante des terres septentrionales, une limpidité qui rend chaque rocher, chaque anfractuosité du terrain, d’une netteté presque douloureuse. À deux kilomètres, le Lac Tasiqajuirutik offre une nappe d’eau immobile, miroir sombre où s’abîme le ciel délavé par le froid, tandis que la Rivière Gladel, située à sept kilomètres, trace son sillage silencieux à travers la toundra dépouillée. Kangiriaq porte en elle l’héritage d’une existence façonnée par la proximité immédiate de ces étendues sauvages, où le rythme des heures suit la lenteur des marées et le souffle des vents dominants. La vie ici ne cherche pas à dompter l’espace, mais s’y ajuste avec une patience héritée des traditions autochtones, trouvant dans la rudesse de ce paysage côtier une forme de plénitude silencieuse. Dans ce cadre dépouillé, la lumière s’attarde longuement sur la pierre et l’eau, révélant une texture tourmentée, presque primitive, qui rappelle la permanence des éléments face à l’éphémère passage des hommes sur ces rivages du Nord.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
