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 Kauapushishkat.
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.

Kauapushishkat is a locality in Mont-Valin; Le Fjord-du-Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kauapushishkat is located at 51.6556°N, 70.4008°W.
Kauapushishkat rests within the rugged, expansive terrain of Mont-Valin, where the land holds the quiet, dense stillness of the northern Canadian shield. It lies 258.7 km west-south-west of Fermont, QC (from Fermont, QC: bearing 242°T), and is situated 32.3 km south-west of Kaiashashkupat. The air here carries a sharp, metallic clarity that defines the transition between the dense boreal canopy and the exposed rock faces, particularly as the low sun pulls long, violet shadows across the ridges. Nearby, the Rivière Katunaniu flows with a persistent, cold urgency, carving a path through the deep wilderness that isolates this stretch of Quebec from the encroachment of the modern world. Within a dozen kilometers, the stillness of Lac Aubin-Tellier mirrors the overcast skies, providing a singular, glassy anchor to the surrounding expanse of coniferous forest. The history of Kauapushishkat remains closely tied to the cycles of the timber industry and the seasonal movements that have long characterized life in Le Fjord-du-Saguenay. Men and women here have traditionally looked toward the forest and the waterways as the primary architects of their existence, maintaining a lifestyle that prioritizes endurance and a pragmatic connection to the changing seasons. Even today, the local economy reflects a lean, focused approach to resource management, where the work is dictated by the availability of the land and the endurance of those who choose to remain. Life in Kauapushishkat moves with a deliberate intensity, marked by the mechanical hum of seasonal equipment and the deep, resonant silence that settles over the region once the brief, bright summer fades into the encroaching frost.
Kauapushishkat déploie sa présence minérale sur les plateaux sauvages de la région de Mont-Valin, là où l'air se raréfie sous une lumière boréale d'une pureté presque douloureuse. Le sol, âpre et résistant, porte en lui les vestiges d'une terre que les vents sculptent sans relâche, invitant au silence autant qu'à la contemplation. À treize kilomètres, le cours de la Rivière Katunaniu serpente avec une lenteur majestueuse, offrant aux bois environnants une pulsation liquide qui rythme la respiration du territoire. Non loin, à douze kilomètres, les eaux sombres et immobiles du Lac Aubin-Tellier retiennent le ciel dans un miroir de quartz, capturant les nuances changeantes du crépuscule qui s'étirent sur les reliefs. Kauapushishkat impose sa dignité dans cette immensité, rappelant la ténacité des hommes qui ont su apprivoiser ce relief accidenté. Ici, chaque pierre et chaque courbe du terrain racontent une patience ancienne, celle d'un monde naturel qui ne se donne jamais tout à fait, mais qui récompense celui qui sait observer la texture du lichen ou le passage des ombres sur les pentes. L'identité de Kauapushishkat puise sa force dans cet isolement altier, où le calme des eaux et la rugosité des terres composent une existence singulière, tournée vers la pérennité des cycles sauvages.
