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 Kanuhpiamiskat.
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.

Kanuhpiamiskat is a locality in Petit-Mécatina; Le Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Kanuhpiamiskat is located at 51.4981°N, 58.6775°W.
Kanuhpiamiskat occupies a stark, bracing stretch of the Canadian Shield, defined by the relentless cold and the ancient, unyielding stone of the landscape. It lies 76.9 km north-north-east of Gros-Mécatina, QC (from Gros-Mécatina, QC: bearing 15°T), and is situated 3.2 km north-north-east of Kaiakuanakanti Uta. The terrain here is dominated by the presence of the Rivière Saint-Augustin, which cuts through the rugged earth with a cold, insistent force, pulling the eye toward the proximity of the Colline Twenty-Five Cent. In the deepening light of late afternoon, the horizon flattens into a monochromatic study of grey rock and dark, stunted timber, where the air holds a singular, metallic clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of every boulder and ridge. The history of Kanuhpiamiskat aligns with the quiet, persistent demands of a land that offers little to those who do not respect its endurance. Life here turns on the cycles of the Rivière Saint-Augustin, a waterway that has long served as a corridor for those navigating the interior, while the presence of Lac Shutler, situated seven kilometers distant, provides a deep, silent anchor to the surrounding wilderness. Economic activity in this remote reach of Petit-Mécatina remains sparse, favoring the seasonal and the solitary over the grand, as the residents find their footing in the margins left by the shifting climate and the expansive, unforgiving geography. Through the long winters, the silence of the frost settles over the Colline Twenty-Five Cent, creating a stillness so absolute that the rare sound of wind against stone carries the weight of a thousand years.
Kanuhpiamiskat s'étire dans une solitude minérale, là où la terre délaisse ses rondeurs pour offrir le visage austère du Petit-Mécatina. Sous un ciel qui semble descendre pour toucher le sol, la Rivière Saint-Augustin serpente avec une lenteur impériale, charriant les reflets argentés d'une lumière qui ne se lasse jamais de décliner. La silhouette de la Colline Twenty-Five Cent monte la garde au-dessus de ces étendues sauvages, observant le silence qui règne sur les roches et les lichens. Non loin de là, le Lac Shutler dort dans un calme absolu, retenant les secrets d'un horizon sans fin. Kanuhpiamiskat respire le souffle salin du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent, ce grand large qui dicte le rythme des existences humaines par ses marées et ses humeurs changeantes. Ici, les jours s'écoulent dans une sobriété qui honore les traditions séculaires, loin des bruits du monde, dans une patience apprise auprès de la pierre et de l'eau. La rudesse du climat sculpte le caractère des habitants, une trempe forgée par la proximité immédiate de ces éléments indomptables. Tout ici appartient à la terre et à la force tranquille du paysage, offrant une sérénité sauvage à quiconque ose s'aventurer parmi ces rives isolées.
