This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kaustiskach, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Kaustiskach.
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.

Kaustiskach is a locality in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kaustiskach is located at 50.8219°N, 78.4500°W.
Kaustiskach rests within the rugged, quiet expanses of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where the land holds a stillness that seems to sharpen the senses. It lies 76.5 km south-south-east of Waskaganish, QC (from Waskaganish, QC: bearing 164°T), and is situated 25.8 km east of Papakamistikw. The terrain surrounding Kaustiskach rises toward the Colline Muschipuku, a rise of earth that breaks the level reach of the boreal forest. Nearby, the Rivière Kitchigama pulls cold, dark water through the trees, its surface catching the bruised violet light of late afternoon in a way that makes the air feel heavy with the scent of damp spruce and stone. Lac Yvonne waits only a short distance away, a hidden mirror tucked into the brush that reflects the immense, unblinking sky of the north. The life of Kaustiskach draws its strength from the deep history of the Eeyou people, whose ancestors navigated these waterways and understood the moods of the Rivière Kitchigama long before the maps were drawn. While the modern economy here remains sparse and quiet, the work of the land persists in the traditions of those who maintain a watchful presence over the woods and the currents. There is a distinct, solitary beauty in the way the wind moves across the Colline Muschipuku, carrying the weight of winters past and the promise of the coming thaw. Days in Kaustiskach unfold with a deliberate steadiness, defined by the seasonal shifts of the ice and the long, pale hours of the northern sun.
Kaustiskach se déploie dans une étendue où la terre semble retenir son souffle, s'étirant sous un ciel boréal qui décline en nuances d'ambre et d'indigo. Le paysage, marqué par la présence imposante de la Colline Muschipuku, offre un horizon dépouillé qui invite à la contemplation. À proximité, les eaux de la Rivière Kitchigama serpentent avec une lenteur tranquille, dessinant les contours d'un quotidien rythmé par la géographie sauvage du territoire Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. À seulement huit kilomètres de là, le Lac Yvonne miroite sous les premières étoiles, ajoutant une profondeur silencieuse à cet espace vaste et préservé. Le vent qui balaie ces terres porte en lui la mémoire ancestrale des Cris, une présence qui se ressent dans la manière dont la lumière sculpte chaque repli du terrain. Ici, Kaustiskach demeure un point de repère essentiel, une halte dans l'immensité où la nature impose sa cadence propre, loin des bruits du monde. Les résidents observent le passage des heures sur la surface calme des eaux, tandis que le froid sec du Nord-du-Québec raffermit la terre sous les pas. Dans ce cadre dépouillé, chaque pierre et chaque courbe de la Rivière Kitchigama racontent une histoire de patience et de respect pour un environnement qui exige, avant tout, une écoute attentive.

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.
