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 Kaususwapaskau.
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.

Kaususwapaskau is a locality in Rivière-Koksoak; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Kaususwapaskau is located at 57.6197°N, 70.2839°W.
Kaususwapaskau sits as a quiet mark upon the rugged expanse of the Nord-du-Québec landscape, defined by the persistent presence of the Rivière Lefebvre. It lies 121.9 km south of Tasiujaq, QC (from Tasiujaq, QC: bearing 190°T), and is situated 11.7 km west-north-west of Kamatisiusich. The land here rises toward the Colline Gossen, where the wind strips the earth of excess and leaves behind a stark, honest terrain of stone and sparse vegetation. When the northern light strikes the slopes at dusk, the granite of the Colline Gossen takes on a bruised, violet hue that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The Rivière Lefebvre flows with a cold, insistent clarity, carving its path through the bedrock and dictating the movement of everything that seeks passage through this remote reach of the Rivière-Koksoak. Kaususwapaskau maintains a deep connection to the traditions of the land, shaped by generations who have navigated the waterways and the surrounding tundra with quiet precision. While Lac Kanipitasachitich rests some distance away, its presence is felt in the way the air holds a singular, crisp moisture that carries across the intervening miles. Life here follows the migrations and the seasons, a cycle dictated by the temperament of the climate rather than the ticking of a clock. Those who spend their days along the Rivière Lefebvre know the language of the ice and the thaw, finding a lean, solitary beauty in the vastness that surrounds Kaususwapaskau.
Kaususwapaskau s'étire dans une solitude minérale, là où le Nord-du-Québec semble retenir son souffle sous une lumière qui s'étire longuement contre les flancs de la Colline Gossen. Le terrain, façonné par les vents qui balayent les vastes étendues de la région de Rivière-Koksoak, offre une résistance silencieuse à l'immensité boréale. Les eaux de la Rivière Lefebvre serpentent avec une lenteur calculée, marquant le sol de leur passage incessant, tandis que le Lac Kanipitasachitich, situé à une quinzaine de kilomètres, conserve une clarté glacée que le ciel vient épouser dans un gris perlé. Kaususwapaskau puise sa force dans cette rudesse climatique, héritière d'une présence autochtone qui, depuis des générations, comprend le langage des pierres et la rigueur des cycles naturels sans jamais chercher à les dompter. Ici, le quotidien se mesure à l'aune d'une patience ancienne, faite de gestes simples et de respect pour une terre qui ne promet rien mais offre tout à qui sait l'observer. Chaque crépuscule transforme les aspérités du relief en ombres allongées, révélant la beauté austère d'un horizon qui se déploie sans fin, loin des agitations du monde, dans une clarté limpide et presque absolue.

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.
