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 Kasikatunakun.
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.

Kasikatunakun is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kasikatunakun is located at 55.7444°N, 72.9508°W.
Kasikatunakun sits amidst the vast, enduring barrens of the Rivière-Koksoak, where the horizon pulls the sky down to meet a terrain defined by ancient, weathered stone and resilient moss. It lies 212.1 km north-west of Brisay, QC (from Brisay, QC: bearing 314°T). The land here holds the quiet weight of the north, with the light at dusk turning the exposed granite into shades of bruised plum and hardened charcoal. Just six kilometers away, the still surface of Lac Nion reflects the expansive, uncapped heavens, acting as a mirror to the passing clouds in a landscape that feels largely untouched by human intervention. The air carries a sharp, metallic clarity that bites at the lungs, reminding any traveler that the earth here operates on a scale indifferent to the passage of minutes. The history of Kasikatunakun remains deeply connected to the traditional movements of the people who have traversed these northern reaches for generations, finding purpose in the seasonal transitions of the land. Life in Kasikatunakun follows the subtle shifts in the wind and the migration of the caribou, with the local economy rooted in the wisdom of subsistence and the careful stewardship of the tundra. There is a profound stillness in the way the day concludes, as the deep cold settles into the hollows of the ground and the stars emerge with a piercing intensity. Every movement across this territory acknowledges the ancestors who navigated these ridges long before the maps were drawn, maintaining a culture that finds its strength in the stark, honest survival of the subarctic.
Kasikatunakun s’étend dans l’immensité silencieuse du Nord, là où la terre dénudée semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière boréale changeante. À peine à six kilomètres de distance, les eaux du Lac Nion offrent un miroir immobile au ciel bas, captant les derniers éclats d’un crépuscule qui s’étire sans fin sur la toundra. Le sol, marqué par le gel et le temps long, exige une patience infinie de ceux qui habitent ces étendues austères de la région de Rivière-Koksoak. Ici, la vie se plie au rythme des vents qui balaient les roches et les lichens, imposant une sobriété farouche aux gestes quotidiens des habitants. Kasikatunakun maintient une présence humble face à l’étendue sauvage, loin des agitations du monde, protégée par une solitude qui forge le caractère. L’air, d’une pureté tranchante, porte en lui une vibration ancienne, celle des traditions autochtones qui habitent ces vastes espaces depuis des générations. Chaque rocher et chaque repli de terrain raconte l’âpreté d’une existence en harmonie avec une nature indomptable, où le silence devient une compagne familière sous l’immensité voûtée des nuits froides.
